Everyone in cycling was using ped's and Lance beat all of them. He is the greatest athlete all all time, better than Jordan and Phelps.
Let's suppose Lance did not use ped's. Then what he did is astonishing.
Now let's suppose that Lance did use ped's. That simply leveled the playing field and he is still the best bike racer ever to live.
On the real topic of this thread, Dara is a great inspiration. I had just started competitive swimming again after a 26 year break when the media was hyping Dara in the run-up to the '08 Olympics. It made me think, "maybe swim racing in your '40's isn't all that crazy." When Dara's Olympic career is *finally* over, I hope she shows up for some USMS meets.
