Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

Here’s what I figure — Lance gets his medals taken away, and they are given to whoever came in second in each race, who then get their medals taken away for doping, so the medals go to number three in each race, who then get their medals taken away for doping — and so on and so on — until I get the medal and get to keep it.

Good one. I am sorry, the thing I don’t understand, is how he beat tests so many times. We are talking about a fifteen year career here. I am willing to bet there is not a test out there that a smart man can’t beat but not the three or four times a year he was tested over and over and over again.
If this is really such a sophisticated program of corruption then the people at the top were involved.

All the previous multiple Tour winners are just as suspect,but blood samples for Miguel Inderain aren’t around to check. Miguel was an average rider, then suddenly dominated… just like Lance.

Just a daily low dose — I bet I can fake it.

I can sell you a vial (vile?) of my urine if you need help beating the tests.
lonecat said, 4 months ago
A vile vial, for sure.

Used to be a big hero of mine, as I’m a triathlete and bike racer.
No more.
