Lance Armstrong
Bam:
every single one of them uses something, human body is not capable of such performance. Lance only got caught because he was using the best doping techniques of that time in the world....i can't believe that there are still so naive people out there who still believe these guys are really that good, if you do believe that - you're either an idiot or haven't got any idea about how a humon body works and/or haven't done any srs sports in your life.

Actually i believe he was charged with doping which is not taking illegal substances. What doping is is the increase of red blood cells in your system. Its legal to do it naturally but Armstrong did it illegally. To do it legally athletes go to higher elevations and do their thing the higher elevation lacks oxygen so the body is forced to create more red blood cells to carry more oxygen to the brain. That is natural blood doping totally legal and accepted by all forms of sporting committees. What he did was he would take blood out of his system and his body would create more to replace the lost blood. Before races he would put the blood back into his body which would artificially increase his red blood level which is illegal. That is what he was caught for. Also yes checking for substances is and was terrible but it would have caught it if he was taking anything unless it was designer and he had it made just for him then it would be harder to catch. Plus he not only did all this he bullied people into keeping quiet and paid people off which is worse.
