    Was it like the Tour de France nonsense of a few years ago where some
    French media persons, in a car, ran some non-French competitors off the
    road?

    I hadn't heard about that, but I remember the controversy in 2005 when Lance Ar
    strong was accused of cheating by using steroids to enhance his performance.

    I am a little surprised you did not. They were even showing footage of it during other non-bicycling sports events. They may have been just fans,
    but they ran a bunch of guys off the road and into a fence.

    Lance

    He wasn't just accused, he was found guilty and stripped of his medals, and so were others of his team, if I remember correctly.

    That's true, I remember now Lance Armstrong tested positive for steroids.

    I can't stand cheaters.

    Remember that sprinter, I think it was Ben something... in the 80s.
    Got the world record for 100m run and then tested positive for roids.

    And then there were the famous home run hitters in baseball... McGuire...

    I was fairly young in the 80s and didn't pay a whole lot of attention to who did what in sports. But yeah, I've often heard of baseball players potentially using performance enhancing drugs.

    yeah mcguire and bonds were all roided up and paying to the media.

    then mark retired and got back to being small again.
    he said he regrets taking them and he didn't need to take them which i believe. he was a big hitter before he got all roided up.

    I used to really follow baseball until that period. Once they allowed
    Bonds to break the career HR record, then "retire," I gave MLB up.

    As far as I am concerned, it went from being a sport to being in the same category as "rasling." Coreographed and fake.
