The new improved Lance Armstrong discussion thread.*

[BJH]

Surprised myself that Walsh would say these are the top 10 questions to ask him.

They strike me more as opening questions to gain an initial response to lead on to a more devastating second question

Even more surprised that one single question doesn't start with "You're a liar, a cheat, a drug taker, a bully and a con man who has dragged sporting reputation into the gutter ...."

Most definitely, and I think from the last question it is obvious that Walsh wants to be the one asking the follow-up questions.

Re The Observer article referenced above. What a lazy piece to print, no opinion, no story, no journalism, just a bunch of quotes from the past, tells us nothing at all. Waste of space.

Yes, well...and as I posted it yesterday, I can imagine all those (potentially) reading, who haven't a clue about the machinations of Pro cycling etc being suddenly 'interested' at a 'sportsman' ranting; and it is also a reasonable precis of a lot of knockabout stuff within these threads.
Calm down.

So he admits to having something to apologise for. Reports suggest it is a prelim to an admission of doping but the apology was private. It sounds like preparing the ground tho'.

Nicole Cooke attacks cheats as she retires from cycling...

Cooke said: "When Lance cries on Oprah later this week and she passes him the tissue, spare a thought for all those genuine people who walked away with no rewards - just shattered dreams. Each one of them is worth a thousand Lances
