Pardon if my language insults anyone, I'm on holiday and just really pissed. I hope there is a special place in Hell for Lance Armstrong, right next to the guys who invented Cine Motion or whatever that BS film to video crap is. That's all. Good night. May tomorrow bring us real heros and leaders. :beatdeadhorse5:
 
If you want to indict Lance Armstrong, you are going to have to pretty much do the same for the entire cycling community, perhaps most of the culture of professional sports.
 
That's why i like team sports, specially when there's strategy involved. You can enhance your body all you want but if the brains and teamwork doesn't, well, work- these are things no drugs can improve- than no win, as simple as that.
 
I guess I'm getting a little jaded, but another athlete doped... ho hum.
 
Its not the doping that makes Lance a dick. Its the all out assault he launched on his friends and foes that tried to tell the truth that makes him such a jerk.
 
I think they should have a steroid league, where steroids are openly accepted and encouraged - a breed of roid raging beastpeople competing to the death.

Actually, the Tour de France is a total team sport. Lance would never have won 7 times w/out the best team in cycling. His gregarios literally pulled him up the mountain. He was the best, the strongest, but he still needed his guys to get him to Paris.

Lance Armstong lied and cheated. That's obvious. But doping has been rampant on the Tour for years. SEE THIS NYTIMES article highlighting how 1/3 of all Top 10 finishers in the Tour over the past decade have been TIED TO DOPING.

I'm disappointed that Lance lied, but he and his rivals were ALL doping. He's not special. Except he maybe cheated better than everyone else.

I thought that was what the UFC was about? '-)
 
before Steroids it was amphetimines on the tour...whats all the fuss. He should keep his titles as the best drugged rider that tour. Laurent Fignon won a ton of tours and he was doing it ...greg lamond was probably doing i worked with him on some cadillac spots and his quads werent human. I think serena williams from start to today isnt doing drugs...RIGHT!!!

That's why Cadel Evans is so universally respected amongst all associated with pro cycling

Love the idea.
Let's have the Dopolympics, or the Hormon games.
