Lance Armstrong. The Cheat.

[therealUT]

It appears that he will be admitting to doping and using PEDs.

Where did you hear that?

 

[doozer]

Who gives a damn. They all were doing it.

This times 359,387,208.

Doesn't make it right

 

[doozer]

Doesn't make it right

Again, who cares.

Per ESPN:

Lance Armstrong to confess to doping during TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, report says - ESPN

 

[bigdaddy]

It's bike riding, not a real sport.

Who gives a damn. They all were doing it.

Yes, but Armstrong and the Postal Service team were the reason it became a sport where everybody was doing it to begin with. There was doping in cycling before, but the dominance of the Postal Service team and their machine-like doping program was what caused it to become universal and institutionalized. It's going to be rich when Armstrong gives the usual song and dance about how "I only did what I had to do to compete" when he's the reason it got that way.

Frackin Oprah. Funny.

Obviously a lot of people do

 

[terrypedigo]

Everybody cheats well the ones that are on top, if you go by the rules you will always be looking up, dont like it but thats the way it is.

Only to run a man in the ground. It's what America has become. An entitlement, hypocritical, pussified, liberal nation.

 

[Slydell]

Shouldn't have let it become that, then. There are still people who are honest that this doesn't sit well with.

Ironic

 

[govols/cc]

Ironic

In the fact if he had admitted it in the beginning & played the cancer card he would be loved. Instead he denied it & millions of dollars are wasted to run the man in the ground after he retires from a sport plagued by doping. Just like baseball. The system was broke but instead of just fixing it they wanna punish the successful dopers. The guys doping & finishing 13th or batting .236 don't ever get mentioned.

 

[YankeeVol]

Honestly at this point I don't care. I think a lot of people feel the same way

 

[doozer]

The honest ones.

There weren't any.

 

[govols/cc]

There weren't any.

Only the ones that got caught & wanted to take everybody else down.

 

[doozer]

Nobody likes a snitch.

If they introduced doping to the sport to begin with, I would care about this argument. But they didn't, so I don't.

It's a witch hunt. Nothing more. Nothing less.

What exactly does doping do for a cyclist? Is it an endurance thing, is it a strength or speed thing? I'm not questioning that it does, but have just never heard precisely what edge it gives a cyclist.

People in the Armstrong camp went to great lengths to disparage the character of anyone who dared to question his legitimacy. I'm sure those people probably give a damn.

Endurance/recovery I think. Not an avid follower of cycling though.
