Armstrong: "Impossible" to win Tour in his day without doping; also, calls for McQuaid to go. Lance Armstrong (pic courtesy Photosport International) Lance Armstrong, stripped last year of the seven Tour de France titles he won between 1999 and 2005, has said it was impossible to win the race in his day without doping, and also says that “cycling will not change” as long as Pat McQuaid remains president of the UCI.
He was speaking to French newspaper Le Monde in an interview to be published in its Sport & Forme supplement tomorrow as the 100th edition of the race gets under way on Corsica, and which can also be purchased as a single article online for €2. However, a trail article published on the Le Monde website today, containing selected quotes from Armstrong, reports him as saying “C'est impossible de gagner le Tour de France sans se doper” – “It is impossible to win the Tour de France without doping.” He replied: “It depends on the races that you wanted to win.

The Man Who Fell to Earth. “Hey, babe,” Lance Armstrong called to his girlfriend, Anna Hansen.
“I’ll take the girls. Do they have all their gear? Shoes and whatnot?” He stood in the door of the den of his West Austin home at 3:45 on a Thursday afternoon. It was almost time for his eleven-year-old twin daughters, Grace and Isabelle, to be at basketball practice, and I could hear the girls in the kitchen, talking with a friend. Lance closed the door, walked back to the couch, and sat down. Except Clinton had fared better. Sitting on the couch now, however, in black shorts, a black hoodie, and slippers, Lance was the picture of ease. He paused. He was talking about Luke, his thirteen-year-old. I told Lance that a close friend of his had informed me that, in 23 years, he’d never seen that happen. His life since the interview, he said, had remained pretty much the same as before. Twelve years ago, when we’d first met, there wasn’t a doubt who Lance’s constituency was.
Twitter. Opinion: It's Not All About Lance Armstrong, And Here's How We Can Fight Doping. The blame game, MPCC and just who should clean up cycling I am wearing a garbage bag.
Why, you might ask, thinking that Merino wool is more my thing. Quite simple, I know that in these days of cycling, banana peels and rotten tomatoes are thrown at anyone who dares stick their head up. Rocks also work quite well and, sadly, my garbage bag won’t do much against those. They hurt. Cycling has become a post revolution mob, not much different than paintings we see of post-revolution France. However, the old expression about sticks and stones hopefully will prove correct and because of this, I figure I’ll continue onward with this monologue. I love the feeling of my hair standing up on the back of my neck when I realize one of my riders has made the lead group. Now, despite the fact that I am all of the things described in paragraph one, I often wonder, how is it that I managed to damage something that I loved so much?
