                    [Summary] => 

Every time the Tour de France rolls every July, some people or group try very hard to steal the show for their own selfish agenda.

I have always looked two Lance Armstrong two ways- one, asone of the greatest a cycling champion and as an inspiration when my Mom was battling breast cancer. While these attributes can easily merge, the line between the two is very clear for me.

[Summary] => Every cycling fan is fascinated by Jan Ullrich. After winning and dominating the 1997 Tour de France in just his third (1997) season as a young 24 yo pro, he was tagged as the new "Eddy Merckx", the one who was going to break the record of TdF's wins. (The record number of TdF wins until 2003 was five each for Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain and Lance Armstrong. Lance made it 7 consecutive TdF's last year.) With his age and physical stature similar to the great ones, he was unanimously voted as the new "Cannibal".

Instead of talking about the race and the route, ASO instead talked about cleaning up the sport against doping and the "'merci'-God,-Lance-the-doper-is-gone!" theme.

The relationship between Armstrong and ASO has been frosty since August when the French newspaper, L'Equipe, accused Armstrong of using the performance enhancing drug EPO in the 1999 Tdf. L'Equipe is owned by ASO.
