I hate having this debate as it makes me sick... I hate drugs cheats as much as the next man but as everyone has said here nobody has any kind of evidence to prove he was/is a drugs cheat.
As I've said before, the fact that he won his 7 tours without testing positive and then retired makes me think that if he was/is taking drugs there is no point in coming back to the sport as he would have gotten away with it. The fact is he could have retired happy with 7 tours and a clean record so why risk it all if he does take drugs to come back again??? It doesn't make sense.
As for people that argue "Well there's no proof that he did take drugs but there is also no proof that he didn't!" Well my mistake I thought we lived in a society where people are innocent until proven guilty!! I for one will be huge admirer of this man until someone can prove without any doubt that I shouldnt be!
