Speech

I'm going to talk to you about how cyclists cheat, and who some famous cycling cheats are. In the olden days some cyclists cheated by throwing tacks in front of the other riders. As scientists started to find out new ways of cheating, like drugs, more cyclists started cheating. In one of the early Tour De France races they had to ride in the night so a group of riders secretly hopped on a train and hopped off just before the finish of that stage.

The Tour De France is the most well known cycle race in the world. People have thought that many Tour De France winners have taken drugs. Some have been right and some have been absolutely wrong. Some of the following people are either people who have taken drugs or people who have been found guilty of taking drugs: Alberto Contador (a three time winner of the Tour De France was suspended after a positive drug test in the 2010 Tour), Floyd Landis is also another Tour De France winner who has taken drugs, he won the 2006 Tour, but his gold medal was stripped from him after he returned a positive drug test result. Many people have thought that Lance Armstrong (seven time winner of the Tour De France) has taken drugs, but he has never gone positive in a drug test. Marco Pantani won the Tour De France in 1998, but sadly died after taking too much cocaine in 2004. He was rated the best hill climber of all time. A year after he won the Tour he was disqualified after an unnatural result in a blood cell count test.

So if you become a cyclist, don't try to cheat because you will never get away with it.
