- Tour de Suisse 2022 is now on fire with Remco Evenepoel, Adam Yates or Aleksandr Vlasov fighting for the yellow jersey in the Switzerland Tour 2022. But in the past, other Tour de Suisse were amazing, like the most DOPED of them, 2001 Tour de Suisse with characters like Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, Erik Zabel or Gilberto Simoni. Know their story.

Enhance Notstrong the STEROID LOSER!
Stay natural buddy!
His commentary is the best. 🤣
Lance always used to say 'I've never failed a drug test' when defending himself from allegations. I always thought 'but you did!' because of hydrocortisone that he got a retroactive TUE for. I believe he even mentions it in his book.
Let the show begin 🤣🤣👍
‘want to know his story?’
Hell yeah…..
I find these stories fascinating and interesting. Great video on a great channel.
Won by another clean rider... Alexander Vinokourov, pure gold🤣🤣
I remember how that year Lance was in Suisse only for the time trial. Mission acomplished and full doped!
When cycling were more mafia than today
Lance was such a big influencer he had Verbruggen and the UCI in his pocket (or payrole). That 120,000 euro donation to the UCI should have been a red flag (with a red cross in it) but was swept under the rug...........but wait there is still more to come.
a white cross in it… but yes… i agree 😉
Dude they were all eating from the cookie jar in those days..... Maybe still are.
@@thomashartmann5849 My bad but yes.
Ironically the donation was for a new doping testing machine
@@johnjudge9089 Yeah,I read about that,more humour for the gringo.
Ahhh, the good old days 😁 The inclusion of footage from The Road to Paris is cool. A great doco (fantasy) on Lance and US Postal that I watched repeatedly ahead of my first in-person visit to Le Tour in 2002.
Jørn Mader... thats a name I have not seen in years! Happy times
Because of Lance Armstrong, cycling grew in popularity in America and for the cycling world, tapping into the largest economy in the world was fantastic for advertising, salaries, bike sales etc… that's why they covered for Armstrong. There should have been a mass confession by all involved as opposed to the Armstrong witch burning.
Totally agree! So many riders involved in doping, but in America we expect our heros to be Godlike, and Lance was not, so people still can't stop bashing the guy. He will always be one of the greatest cyclists regardless, don't fool yourself into thinking doping in any sport makes you an ultra athlete.
Yes he helped drive thru industry that regularly sees people spend 10k USD or more on carbon bikes just for some weekend warrior bike rides. He was a marketing managers dream. No way we're they going to pop him for failed drug tests.
@@gregoryodle5947 It does, when other people did doping in a normal way, but Armstrong was covered so did it "all in" giving him a noticeable advantage.
@@kevincockburn7805 if people want to buy expensive bikes..it doesnt harm anyone..do you yell at people for buying a mercedes benz?
what does marketing have to do w the sporting side of things??? he cheated.. Now that the US is losing it's position as the world's number one economy i wonder if all americans will look at it the same
Lance was a complete disaster but UCI were more...
Way to go buddy!
Life-long US rider here. Lance made it cool to be a rider in the US, even after the doping scandal. Before that we were considered a bit geeky (or worse) weirdos with our shaved legs and tight shorts. In addition, as pointed out by others, he was an incredible boom to product marketers. Everyone wanted the Oakley sun glasses he wore. $300-$500 bucks!. Now biking is hugely popular. People are spending more than $10K for a road bike.
Lance paid $5M to the postal service in 2018 and he is reportedly worth $50M because of his investment in UBER.
Lane is not hiding in embarrassment or shame. People are paying $30K to ride with him for a week.
Why didn’t cycling reach a larger American audience during the LeMond years?
@@foobarbazquux It did. Were you around in the 1980's?
Are you old enough to remember cycling before Armstrong even rode in Europe ? Cycling was always cool way before cheating Armstrong was an adult.
Watch the Coors Classic. Tell us that the thousands who cheered on both Pro and amateur Riders were in the sporting minority. Lemond was World Road Champion in 1983 and Jack Boyer already rode the TdF by 1981.
As far as appeal in the USA, Cycling was very popular. Bike shops catered to specific disciplines. Some shops specialized in BMX, while others focused on Racing and Touring Bikes.
Groupsets and fully assembled bicycles were plentiful. Stores stocked and ordered an array of parts from Campagnolo, Shimano, Mavic, Mallard, Regina, Wolber, Fir, Weinman, DT Swiss, Cinelli, 3T, Time le Defi, etc...
Clothing was available both from American but mostly Italian brands, including Assos, Descent, Tommaso to name a few.
Getting measured for a bike frame was broken down to the centimeter either center to center of seat tube or center to top. You could even have a custom frame built for your own anatomical dimensions.
Bike fames we're available in traditional steel, aluminum and titanium and they came in all colors, sizes with internal and external brake cable routing.
There was traditional box type rims and aero type. Clincher and sewup wheels available with an array of tires made in USA, Japan and Italy. There was NOTHING made in China.
Any reputable bike shop could build you a set of wheels by American hands trained in the discipline, not by mass producers in China.
We had bike lanes by the 1980's and Racers although the minority on the road, obeyed traffic laws. We had "Corn Cobb" freewheels 13-18, 13-19 for the flats, and 13-23-24/25 for the hills. Chainrings we're standard 53 or 52/42. 39 inner was available only in the late 80's and used on steep climbs, or on hilly races with straight block gears.
Racing bikes themselves were priced between $1k -$3k. Very expensive for the time and Racers we're mainly young men in their 20's training to be a Pro as well as female Racers.. Cycling "Enthusiasts" were the minority and were rare. There were rarely any mass rides for people who wanted to ride casually and if there were, they were ridden by Racers treating it as a trainng ride for a Race. There was another class of riders called "Tourist's" who rode long distances with paniers for camping. But that's not the subject at hand.
So cycling not cool prior to Armstrong? No, with Greg Lemond's three TdF wins in 86,89 & 90, cycling became even more popular.
Thanks for this. So many believed Lance. He tried destroying LeMond. Dude was talented as a teen in triathlon. Lineing up with the best as a kid. Some can't resist cheating. I liked Greg he seemed normal and was in my era. Tyler Hamilton book t
The Secret Race tells all
Tyler's book is very good. I'm reading it now.
@@irongrl I read it years ago. Another good one is the 7 eleven one. A friend's son rode with them and won the final stage of TDF . Rob Roll and the American misfits. Good read
believed lance when he said they all cheat? some cant resist cheating? you mean all of them cant resist, you either dope or you get dropped period. maybe you last a few stages but thats it, and on single day races the dopers win, so just give up the sport cuz youre going to lose everytime wont even be in contention. all the top pro's get popped
How the f is it cheating when everyone else is doing the same ? Also you're delusional if you think Greg lemond was beating all the doped up European pros with just Bread and water🤣
@@Mosely2007 Thanks!
He pedaled every kilometer tho…
An interesting video even when the "equally suspicious" analogue is kind of unconvincing.
Either an EPO-test is positive or not and either HCT-test is above the threshold or not.
Lance's EPO-test wasn't --> no sanction.
Pantani's Hct was too high --> sanction
Same for Chiappucci --> sanction
He also failed a test for a corticosteroid in 99 (as did Delgado when he won?) and was left off after claiming it was for a boil on the bum or something. As he later said it was lucky the two cortisones were the same. In the same way for a chest issue I am on the same drug as Wiggins TUE at the moment....
Delgado was probenecid, for which Daryl Impey was also popped more recently. Triamcinolone? Good stuff for cyclists, that, rocket fuel. Best wishes to you.
USPS team was awesome..
The Whirld is a stage and cycling is not exempt.
My Father in law had Cancer and when Lance was shown to be a cheat it hit him hard.....many say 'oh well they all doped' maybe they did but Lance attached surviving Cancer to it, and that is disgraceful.
wtf? so doping is forgiveable if you have no cancer???
Okay I understand your point but the guy still had cancer and he chose not to give up on the one thing he desired the most and that was competitive cycling…
He had a hard to choice to make he wasn’t going to give up on his dreams and so he did what he did
He also generated over 300 million to cancer charity he’s done more for charity then any athlete on the planet
@@oo0024 This might sound harsh, but him surviving cancer is even more impressive when considering that all those growth hormones must've also grown the cancer
nobody is above Armstrong
The same tour de suisse which isn’t being shown at all on British Eurosport “the home of cycling “
What I have learned from these videos is that there were only ever two cyclists who never doped - Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche.
We're spaniards
@@cyclingstories You sound it.
Well it is difficult to say because the cyclists are always 1 step ahead of the chemistry, there are ways to deliver erythropoiesis stimulating agents that may not have been detected.
@@cyclingstories the emerald isle was conquered by spain while we looked away?
@@oldfrend Go visit Dublin, its currently being conquered by Africans instead.
I still think all the current riders are doing something..just my two cents
I like Lance. It was an exciting time in cycling. He did it the best and the playing field was pretty even.
Not sure about that, other riders had to actually hide their doping so the timing of the cycles wasn’t perfect. Or alternatively Pantani who could’ve given him a run for his money was thrown to the wolf. The protection Lance had nobody else had it. So while i agree he was talented and everyone else was dopped he still had an unfair advantage.
@@frzmln78 All of what you said is not lost on me at all. It doesn't change anything for me. He's still the 7 time tour champion, even if they've stripped him. He brought a lot of attention (and money) to cancer research. Sure, he has sociopath tendencies, but he entertained and did more good in the end.
Got me jazzed about riding again which I'm still into many years later (riding LeMond bikes!) I have no complaints. Hey, everyone else has bad-boy heros and don't apologize.
Chris Froome will come out as winning TDF doping
Cycling Stories could you tell me why Armstrong's nickname is 'low cost'?
In 2013-2016 period he lost a lot of money and things. In that era, he became a "Low Cost Lance" with other clothes, appearence and "calm-down style"
@@cyclingstories Less money, less titles but more humanity ( if Lance has any kind of it), I understand. Thank you, love your videos and you are as funny as cycling requires...
Lance the Only Doped Up Rider😂. 90% + were on something
Why does he keep calling him "low cost Lance" 😁😁 ???
Everyone one was doping back then! Is it cheating if everyone is cheating ? This has more to do with the sport than Lance Armstrong.
If his name was Frigo, Jiménez or Bassons he would be punished
Ha Greg .. lance still living in your head
I still like Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson and many other athletes.
However, they have been the best of their kind. They’ve just had bad luck and they’ve been caught.
It’s unusual that Lance and US Postal were the only team to dope. Ruined it for everyone! 🤔
Im very conflicted about this. Seems like they are always one step ahead of the testing, even with the bio passports. Let everyone dope openly and see then who is best? So many people think at least Pogacar and Vingegaard are currently doping so does it really make such a difference in the end?
What a dope....
there were more bald guy in cycling in the past
there no fake heros , lance stronger than eddy mercks !
2:40 He was not a clean rider, he received a two-year ban from cycling for blood doping.
'Another clean rider' is sarcasm of the highest order! Everyone knows Vino was doped to the max.
He wasn’t punished because EVERYONE was doing the same thing.. the field was level. Armstrong was still the best.
Armstrong was a thug and a blackmailer. The others were not.
@@peterwest5525 ha ha ha. He is a terrible person. Raised a ton of money for the misfortune the. I could not care less that he was a doper. It’s a filthy sport. But, he was still the very best on a level plating field of dopers.
Man your voice is putting me to sleep
That's good cause you could watch the entire vid!
@@cyclingstories i wish. Many topics are interesting to watch but I can never finish them
dans le cyclisme c'est facile de donner la faute aux cyclistes vu que il n'est pas sujet au paris sportif quand on voit d'autres sports qui sont corrompu des paris sportifs et l'arbitrage avec maintenant le le nouveau système du du Var on comprend tout ce que ça signifie le sport c'est pour ça qu'ils sont ultra payer les sportifs
