He changed the sport, the way teams trained and the tactics used, the recon done pre-race all through the year. Nobody had ever approached the sport like Armstrong. They created a blue-print that every team and athlete now follow. Armstrong was one of the first athletes to use a wind tunnel to get the most aerodynamic position and equipment possible. Now everyone uses a wind tunnel! He elevated the sport to new levels.

Doping is wrong, but I can honestly say that even though he doped like everyone else, he still kicked their butts. He trained for those wins. He trained like a boss and dominated all the other dopers. I'm not on the Lance bandwagon, but give credit where credit is due. Like Jim Mac said, when in Rome.

I think all of you guy's who are talking shit about Lance should THINK before writing anything. First of all he was never caught with hard evidence, his opponents did. Second of all, in most years (except 2003) he won by almost TEN minutes... in front of those who actually tested positive. Lance never tested positive. Even if he dopped, the only thing people can say is that he was the best dopper. Assuming he did it, they were all in the same circumstances. And he won... by miles away.

The doping Armstrong did would not have had the impact and 7 tdf wins if he wasn’t the hardest working and most dedicated cyclist of all. It was just one of many elements, all equally important that gave him the edge over all other riders who were doping to the same degree or even more.
