How much does Lance Armstrong spend on a bicycle?

Lance Armstrong doesn't generally buy his own bicycles. This is because most of the time he races with a team, and the team supplies the bikes. He probably has cycles given to him by the teams, too. Note that Lance and his teammates run different bikes on different legs of a big race like The Tour. Same brand, but different types. Again, the team supplies them. Part of a cycling team's contract is sponsorship, and different cycling companies will vie for the opportunity to supply the machines on which Lance and his teammates will ride. You can understand why, too. If you built bikes, it would be cool if Lance was wearing a yellow jersey at the end of The Tour and he rode your units through the race. It would translate into more dollars for you, too. If you're curious about the cost of the bikes he rides, the best bet is to identify the bike and the groupo and wheels he's running and then price them. With a little research, you should be able to pull this up. A local bike shop with hard core followers might already be able to tell you what Lance is running, and be able to ball park the costs. Certainly the team is not shy about advertising the bikes it is putting under its riders.

When did lance Armstrong take drugs?

Reports indicate that a 1999 test revealed EPO in Armstrong's system. However, since then he's not tested positive for steroids. To be fair to Armstrong, he was legally prescribed EPO while recovering from Cancer and trace amounts may have been present in his system when he returned to professional cycling.

There is strong evidence to suggest that he's not nearly as clean as he claims to be. Read about Dr. Michelle Ferrari. The facts remain that Lance Armstrong never tested positive during all his Tour de France wins for any type of illegal substance. Moreover, race leaders like Armstrong are scrutinized and tested far more than others in the sport. It is very unlikely he could have been cheating and not found out during his entire profesional career in the spotlight. It can be argued there is strong evidence to suggest that Lance Armstrong was clean and his phenomenal ability comes from good genetics, an early development in triathelons and cycling combined with a stricter than usually training and diet regimine. All "evidence" he doped comes from conjecture and unreliable testimony.
