Oddly, for some reason I don't knw, I really don't like Lance Armstrong. But, I don't think he took steroids. Sometimes, people are just gifted in certain areas (freaks or anomalies). You gotta hand it to the guy, he earned it.
I suppose one could argue that he took drugs to alter the blood (increase platelet or red cells or something to help oxygenate).
If anything, perhaps the sport wanted him to win to promote the sport so they helped facilitate it.
How about football players - I would think football would be more prone to steroi use with all the physical grueling they endure. Doesn't steroids also help in recovery, not just muscle build up? Maybe linesmen or running backs as they take a lot of abuse.
