they test everyone but there are ways to get around the tests...i'm not sure of the logistics. last year, the day before the tour de france began, 9 cyclists were unable to compete because they had steroids in their blood. then afterwards, the winner, floyd landis, tested positive and had to give up his title. it was a huge scandal. lance armstrong has never been proved a user, but there is a lot of speculation. especially here in europe, but we are probably just jealous
I know, my mother is from Chatellerault. I usually defend French people but I had to say it sounded like jealousy everytime Lance won and people accused him of doping, lol. I mean, he won so many times that if he was, surely he'd have been caught. Aaaanyway...back on topic...

I was in a fiesty mood anyways, and then I come on here to find that the whole forum MATCHES my mood perfectly.
But I've been a good girl and haven't contributed to the madness. Halo and award, please.
