Why does everything about Armstrong turn to the most?
Now I think he was a real prick. Some of what he said regarding the mussette bag incident were unbelievable.
But there is a difference between our era and the past. Now everything becomes public and add to that things that are now public and will be forgotten in 20 years are not forgotten yet.
I can think of some pretty nasty bits for Anquetil, Coppi and Hinault.
I also remember one thing Merckx said regarding the drug test that got him thrown out of the 1969 Giro. Basically it was "Why would I dope on that stage, there was nothing to gain". I believe him and if it truely was that his sample was tampered with I'd say that pretty much leaves the worst of Lance far behind.
Oh and what happened in 1904 wasn't very nice.
