ARMSTRONG'S DOPING DILEMMA: THE SAGA CONTINUES, MORE CYCLISTS AGAINST THE 7-TIME "TOUR DE FRANCE" WINNER!

THE PICTURE SAYS IT ALL!!!
Lance makes it rather difficult lately for other cyclists to come to his defense especially the one's who once rode alongside him during his 7-year Tour dynasty as the unbeatable rider. Only those riders, whether they were on Armstrong's team(s) or not, know what went on and if the 7-time Tour victor really doped or not.  Lance keeps denying allegations and recently announced he was tired of doing so.
Domestiques who rode with Lance during his 7-year long reign of winning the Tour GC and the "maillot jaune" jersey, have not been so quiet; mainly due to Lance's narcissistic reactions and chiding remarks and especially his actions the last two times he tried to forge a come-back to the Tour and he and his team showed a disregard for rules (unwritten) of the race.  
One of those negative Lance and company actions took part on July 18, 2009 (Tour stage 14) against one George Hincapie when Team Garmin attacked George on an arduous stage of the race for no reason and Armstrong's team-mates (Team Astana) followed the needless attack which in the end denied the once-loyal Armstrong domestique the chance to don the much-coveted yellow jersey for one day.  Actions which Lance would later deny (post-race day)instead blaming Team Garmin for inciting the attack and his current domestiques for having to pursue the attack.  No real remorse just a non-chalant explanation was made by the rider who in vain tried to show some indignation at Hincapie's loss at wearing yellow.  Such shame from Lance whom was once regarded as a true gentleman and champion. Karma, Lance, Karma...
