Aside from being off topic this is as big a load of hooey as I've read in as long time. The only reason Armstrong looks different to you than Merckx is that you're watching it on TV. Merckx used the same type of teamwork as Armstrong. And as for the doping comments, prove it. Phil Brown Saw Merckx race but not in San Rafael, Calif.
