He is actualy 63.
And what about Bjørn Borg+Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal and ??, Nadal and Federer should be carefull so that they don't break the old dudes arms. |

Nadal is one of the Puerto-guys, so he's doped for sure  |

Probably the same people said of him at the time he raced: "get this dopehead out of here. he tested positive at the Giro, why is he still racing?"

That’s not always true, start any debate today (e.g. Was Armstrong Doped) and most people will hark back to the time of Mercks, Hinault, etc. as a period when racing was a “more honourable” sport.
NOTE: I don't necessarily think it was!

I so agree. There is no way you can look like that at his age. It's crazy. |

I hate these conversations because
Is that big enough for you crazy people to finally understand. Now drop the doping allegations. Who do you think you are the French Media.
ok. All these riders are getting caught right? In the history of life, Armstrong was tested more than Ullrich, Basso, and every other rider combined.If he had doped he would have been surely caught just like all the other riders. He didnt come back that quick after cancer. It still took him a little while. When he came back from all the kimo he wasnt physically changed he was mentally changed and that is what made him so good. Try telling someone who was predicted to die that he cant do something and he will fight harder. Keep in mind he was already a World Champion before Cancer.

He was actually caught, just never convicted, but like I said it's been discussed 100 times already, no need to bring it up again |

well ... Are you talking about the fact that he even admitted he took drugs but that was only so he could survive during the cancer treatment. but nonetheless I need to go and hide somewhere so I don't have to look at this thread anymore.
