Nice try.
Steroids are not the only performance enhancing drugs.
So go ahead and name the PED that magically prevents injuries. You're the one making the claim, why can't you back it up?
We saw Lance Armstring win 7 straight Tour de France titles and gain a rep as an Ironman while never officially failing any blood tests, correct?
Numerous fellow cyclists were already calling Armstrong a doper all the way back in the 1990s, it was public knowledge. These are his own peers, not random racist dumbasses who don't even play his sport.
History of Lance Armstrong doping allegations - Wikipedia
Lance Armstrong tested positive for cortisone in 1999, he then had a team doctor fabricate a prescription to excuse the result.
6 urine tests during the 1999 tour also showed Armstrong was using EPO, this was was public knowledge by 2005. In 2008, Armstrong was challenged to have the samples tested again, and Armstrong refused to do it.
Four doping tests in 2001 were consistent with EPO use, by 2011 it was public knowledge that Armstrong had had to bribe the head of the UCI to keep those tests quiet.
Stephen Swart in 2004 published his own eyewitness accounts of Armstrong doping, based on his time as Armstrong's teammate in the mid-1990s.
Mike Anderson, Armstong's personal assistant, stated in court in 2005 that he had found PEDs in Armstrong's room.
Frankie Andreu, Armstrong's team captain in the late 1990s, reported in a court deposition in 2006 that Armstrong had personally admitted back in 1996 to using HGH, cortisone, EPO, steroids and testosterone.
Floyd Landis, Armstrong's former teammate, reported in 2010 that he had seen Armstrong doping while on his team in 2002 and 2003, and that their team director had to bribe the head of the UCI to keep it quiet, with a paper trail proving that Armstrong had given multiple large donations to the UCI in that exact time period.
Tyler Hamilton, Armstrong's former teammate, stated in 2011 that he and Armstrong had doped together throughout the 1999-2001 tours.
In 2012, the USADA officially reported that Armstrong was behind "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
Armstrong finally admitted to doping in 2013.
So by the time Armstrong admitted to doping, his fellow cyclists had already been calling him a doper for 15 years. He had already tested positive for PEDs numerous times by the time he won his FIRST title, and those tests were public knowledge already before his title streak was even over. Numerous teammates had already gone public with their specific eyewitness accounts of Armstrong dopig within 5-10 years of his streak starting.
It is possible that Bron is doping? Of course it is, none of us know the details of his personal life like that. But none of the evidence has been put out there like it was for Bonds and McGuire and Armstrong, so the situations aren't comparable at all. Not a single test, not a single eyewitness account. Literally all the haters have is random speculation by strangers who don't even know Bron.
