    ..you're only too happy to roll out the argument that EPO was the game changer in the 1990s, that previous doping didn't affect the results like EPO does where super responders beat the rest, but now you want to smear the non-EPO era riders again even though you conveniently held up their era in your previous Armstrong related threads as more authentic as pre dated EPO.
    Er, it was you who brought that one up...

    Not disputing what the Italian judge found..very disappointing to say least..but... many of his results are before EPO was even in clinical trial stage.when talent mattered more.

    I agree that the drugs used in the pre-Epo era could not turn also-rans into 'winners' as Epo can, so Roche's talent was no doubt authentic.
