Thoughts on Lance Armstrong. ?

[Globalti]

When US Postal came to yuurop to race and got blown to pieces they took the decision that they needed to compete on a level playing field so they moved to Girona and employed Ferrari. I feel a little sorry for any cyclist who found himself dragged into the murky world of the European drugs scene, it must have been nerve-racking and shameful for many individuals. LA was one of those yet, as he says in the last few seconds of the film about him, he was still better than everybody else.

Mixed with sorrow is a sense of satisfaction that Lance the bully treated so many so badly and ruined careers and has now got his come-uppance.

But it's still happening, it's just that the abusers have learned and have stayed one step ahead of the detectors. I'm convinced that many are doping, starting with Bertie.

Naughty man, but perversely he is probably more responsible for everyone else being forced into cheating more cleverly and quite possibly, more dangerously.

FTFY. Don't think it will ever end TBH. Some say legalise doping anyway. Probably have the same result though. As you say though, it's his OTT attitude towards his colleagues which is the real travesty. Bit of a meanie really. Fascinating though.

On 18 Jan 2008 I posted this about Lance :-

Because even in his autobiography he comes across as an arrogant, self-centered pr1ck?

And he still does, except we now know he's a bullying, lying cheat too.
Just for the avoidance of doubt, like.

He is a nasty piece of work.

Lance is a Sociopath , the doping is probably not in the worst 5 things the guy has done !

 

[Saluki]

He's a bit fat dirty, cheating, lying, bullying, manipulative bag of rat spit. He's not remorseful at all, it's all crocodile tears just geared to getting his own way.

Thoughts on Lance Armstrong.

As few as possible. Unable to give a toss.

Mildly miffed that there are races going on now with todays riders busting a gut & far cleaner for the most part that the news media falling over themselves to talk about LA completely ignore.

I am reading Tyler Hamiltons book at the moment. The stuff that went on was incredible. He lied and lied and lied again and didn't care who he trampled on along the way.

Easy to show remorse when you still have $100million + in the bank

If you were to give him a break, which bone would you go for?

 

[shadow master]

The way lance and his lot treated Greg lemond was just disgusting.....glad Greg came out of it the real american hero,as many thought he was just a whinger

 

[ayceejay]

Our house a while back:
"Now go and apologize to your sister"
"But she started it Mum"
"Never mind apologize anyway, you bully"
"O.K. I'm sooorry"
Jason sloped off sulking.
I asked him later if he really was sorry or was he just saying it, he did seem pretty remorse
He said "Nah, I had my fingers crossed so it doesn't count."

Lance is something you do to a boil to let the puss out.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Hey don't forget when he cheated by taking a short cut!

I just seen a snippet on the 6 oclock news, He seems pretty remorse was the punishment enough or not,?

He was just rehearsing for that documentary or Oprah Winfrey. I had a relative like that, too. Thought he could pull the wool over your eyes with a few tears and some B.S.. Lance Armstrong isn't sorry for any of the stuff he did. He's sorry he got caught, and stripped of his titles. And the crap he pulled on Lemond was just pathetic.

 

[slowmotion]

Wind back the clock five years and see the guy at the top of his game. Supported by sycophants too.
