Let's cheer the losers then.  Because we have on good authority that you can't
win without cheating.

There is the long line of cheaters.  After all, we have solid assurances that
you cannot win without cheating, and EACH of the following has won more than
once:

Andre "Acid" Leducq
Antonin "Mainliner" Magne
Bernard "Hash" Hinault
Bernard "Bennies" Thevenet
Eddy "Marijuana" Merckx
Fausto "Crack" Coppi
Firmin "PCP" Lambot
Gino "Heroin" Bartali
Greg "Opium" LeMond
Jacques "Angel Dust" Anquetil
Lance "Crystal Meth" Armstrong
Laurent "Shrooms" Fignon
Louision "Payote" Bobet
Lucien "Dweebidge" Petit-Breton
Miguel "Steroids" Indurain
Nicolas "Luteinizing Hormone" Frantz
Ottavio "liposome-encased hemoglobins" Sottecchia
Philippe "Ephedrine" Thijs
Sylvere "Testosterone" Maes

Do we need any evidence for these assertions?
Of course not.  We can try and convict them on this basis alone:
"I don't think they could do it without."
