La Russophobe wrote about the Vancouver Olympics: "Actually, at the last Olympic Games Russians were proved to have been the very worst cheater of all nations present"

A lie. Not a single Russian athlete was caught at cheating at the Vancouver Olympic Games. Not one.

La Russophobe continued: "And thanks for admitting that no Russian would win the TDF. They didn’t. Not even a top-three finish."

Wrong. Denis Menchov just finished in 3rd place in Tour de France, just 2 minutes behind the winner:

Denis Menchov didn't make as many headlines as Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck or Lance Armstrong. But Menchov did ride an amazing 2010 Tour de France and finished on the podium. Menchov took third.

The best American finished only in 10th place, 12 minutes behind the winner and 10 minutes behind Menchov. And keep in mind that USA's population is more than twice that of Russia.

As far as American cyclists are concerned, virtually all their achievements in TDF in the last 20 years are due to doping and cheating:

Lance Armstrong - accused of constant cheating by his own American teammates Frankie Andreu and Floyd Landis, currently under investigation by the US criminal authorities

Frankie Andreu - convicted dope using cheat

Tyler Hamilton - convicted dope using cheat

Floyd Landis - "won" TDF but was convicted dope using cheating and had his TDF crown taken away

George Hincapie - alleged by former U.S. Postal teammate Floyd Landis to have participated in systematic doping in the early 2000s

US Postal Office team - entire team engaged in non-stop doping

La Russophobe continued: "Much less did any Russian even dream of repeat wins like Armstrong, the greatest biker in the history of the world."

Of course not. Armstrong won by doping. Why would Russians dream of imitating a despicable doping cheat like Armstrong?

La Russophobe continued: " Russia has never produced one such figure in any of the leading athletic contests in world history."

You are an idiot. Here are just a few examples of famous Russian/Soviet athletes. And keep in mind that the entire USSR had a smaller population than USA:
