Without him, we knew we'd never make it to Paris.

Jeff Spencer RacerX Interview
From what you have learned along the way in cycling and the sports, do you feel that the knowledge and insight that you possess puts you ahead of the game in motocross?
Yes, 100 percent. I don’t really care if people know what I’m doing because it’s always going to be different the following year because the most successful element in an athlete’s career is how well they develop and how well they adapt to their existing conditions.
The reason why we won eight consecutive Tour de France victories was that we were always reinventing a new system that was current for real-time needs. For me, that’s the most important thing that I always look towards. I am building my arsenal of knowledge and information and my tool kit. We’re continually investigating and implementing revolutionary new technologies and ways of remaining a consistent top performer and maintaining a competitive edge.

This is the story behind it and the entire document USADA has against Lance.
Don't call me on that tho, haven't read his biography for a while!
1. It names all the players and Aldon's name didn't make it. Also the quack chiro Spenser didn't make it either which bums me out because I was hoping to bust him, but what it does mean is that Spencer had no major role in Armstrong's success that Spencer claims he had. I always found it amusing how Spenser would run around the SX pits with Nike U.S. Postal garb and not correct the media when they would state he was Armstrong's trainer.
2. The majority of cyclists would pay 15K per year for Dr. Ferrari's, who is considered the king of doping, services while Armstrong sometimes paid 100k.
a. Easily doable by top MX/SX riders.
3. One of the recommendations by Armstrong to avoid testing positive was to delay testing and so Armstrong would seek out very remote locations as to provide more lead time to prepare for test or to avoid testing all together.
a. This is also doable by top MX/SX riders
The following is cited from www.sportsscientists.com
A common argument that keeps coming up from supporters is that there is no "evidence" to support the sanction, or cries that the information provided by USADA hardly passed for evidence. This is amusing since witness testimony contributes to the body of evidence in legal cases, so I don't think that argument really works.
But more importantly, we have to be clear that USADA did not evaluate whether or not Armstrong broke a law. Instead, they evaluated whether or not he broke a rule, specifically as outlined in the rule books for cycling and triathlon during the years in question.
And for anyone whose doping paradigm is still stuck in last century, sanctioning athletes in the absence of an "analytical finding" is entirely acceptable, and in this case Armstrong is just another athlete on the growing list of those who have in fact been sanctioned without ever testing positive (officially).
So don't bemoan the process. If you want to support him as a cancer survivor, please do. By some accounts it's a near miracle he survived such an advanced case of cancer that had spread throughout his body. But it has now become patently obvious that at least since 1998, all of his cycling success was achieved by breaking the rules. Was the era fraught with doping? Absolutely, and the UCI more than anyone else is to blame for t hat. But that does not make it ok that anyone broke the rules. And worse, he and his foundation benefited immensely as a direct result of his sporting success, which was fraudulent. His net worth is estimated upwards of $125 million, and does anyone reading think it would be that high had he not won seven tours?
Don't forget the food annihilator where in which a person was supposed to put this cover over any food item and it would take away any and all "bad" properties making the food non hazardous.

Not sure how to post the link but search YouTube for Joe Rogan Victor Conte..
He was the man behind the BALCO scandal for those who are unfamiliar. This candid interview is VERY relevant and is a good picture of what a mess the system is.

If that doesn't work here is the main site, it's a few podcasts down for those who are interested.

Im not suggesting they promote the use of PEDs in their training regimes, but in light of recent revelations its hard to shut out the sound of that muffled alarm bell ringing in the distance.

Regarding MX, DV said on the french board that he when he was racing in the Us, he knew some top riders who were doing it, and that back then it was some industry guy who was crossig the Mexican border to go get the stuff. That was prob the cheap way to do it.
Seriously, you guys have waited for this Armstrong thing to have doubts on Aldon Baker? Haven't you noticed that every single one of his riders suddenly became uber fit, and finishes the moto twice as fast as anybody else? Starting with RC in 2000, when he came to the Nations in St Jean, he had only been working with Aldon for a few months, and was a totally new athlete. He wasn't even sweating on podiums after the races!
Im not sure you still can call this speculation when things have been so obvious for so long...
I'm not going to accuse anybody of anything, but there are definitely moto athletes using PEDs. It will all come to light eventually.
