Because the salbutamol that you needed wouldn't have been any help to those without asthma.
What's popped? I've always been suspicious of Lewis, but I don't know if he failed tests?

Don't worry about Stat , he's very defensive over cycling and every other post implicates all other sports even though he has no evidence whatsoever to back it up.
The fact his preferred pastime is so riddled with druggies irks him greatly, sometimes it's like listening to a child try to point a finger of blame somewhere else to deflect the ridicule levelled against him.
A grass if you will.

Not that I've read this one but on the strength of Moore's books that I have read I'd imagine this is worth a go.
It would be fun if you could take whatever you liked.
Not much fun when cycling did that.
Lance's team rode for 3 weeks on the front, not even looking out of breath.
While those wishing to properly challenge him took so much of everything most are 'damaged' now, the ones that are still alive.

'Now'!? The history of professional cycling is riddled with substance abuse, dating back before 1900. Few riders are untainted by it, just ask Eddy Merckx.
If everyone has one book in them, I always wanted mine to be entitled 'Cheating My Way Round Le Tour'.
I set off on a adventure riding a full Tour route but only using all the documented methods of cheating.
Some are brilliant, some will just require buying a train ticket, many are illegal.
But sadly I feel Lance, EPO, blood transfusions etc have rather taken the 'fun' out of the fantasy.
Overly dramatic most are still employed in cycling and still have their "honours" despite tearfully confessing unlike Armstrong yea he was an hard to like as a personality but no different to the others Contador and his faboulous MEAT diet Pantani died but then it was more than trying to compete with Armstrong that he had issues with much that I loved the fella.
So true but they also used to raid bars for wine en-route too..
and all of them are remembered with fondness.
Maybe so, I guess the list of infamous maybe sticks in the mind more.
Although plenty have had records expunged and I think cycling is getting progressively better about removing former cheats from the sport.

For my non existent book my bar raids would have to be a little more civilised
I'm certainly keen to ride up a mountain with a cork in my mouth, attached to the car in front by fishing line held by a soigneur hiding in the boot.

No shit Sherlock
Who else other than Armstrong has been expunged? Struggling to think. If it was getting better then why do Indurain, Riis, Roche, Contador still hold their titles (ok i know that Indurain didnt confess in tears but "big gear" was able to sit down and take on mountain climbers all of a sudden.

Not sure my teeth could hold up to that lol
Contador and Pantani lost Grand Tours, Valverde had results voided.
Most Tours throughout Lance's career don't recognise many of the top 10 probably even 20.
Contador still has grand tours that still stand so does Pantani Lances entire career was wiped pretty much Riis still holds his title despite saying he was doping same for Roche and "Big Mig" is an exceptional specimen.
