Any cycling fans want to hear my rant about Lance?

not really

And his life affects you how?

I know the EPO thing was a joke, but you do come off as the type who will push his kids to become something he never became. And if you really think they will "compete with the Kenyans" by any age, well, another dashed dream awaits you, oh frustrated never-quite-made-it-guy.

Well, outside of Lance's situation, I've run into plenty of guys who claim to be "family oriented," "willing to make any sacrifice for their wife and kids," whose "first priority is always my family," yet eagerly seek job transfers and frequent trips away from home to satisfy their professional desires, to the detriment of their wife's career and stability for their kids. I've been in the military and law enforcement where you hear guys use these terms all the time, yet these are the same guys who constantly volunteer (i.e. not mandatory) for deployments/TDYs and moves that uproot their families every 18 months.

I will admit that there are times when such decisions are in the best interests of the family, particularly financially, but from what I've seen, there are an awful lot of guys who are big on talk but lack the guts to truly make the tough choices on behalf of their families.

Geeze, lighten up Francis. You must be one of those it-sucks-to-be-around-them-because-their-panties-are-all-bunched-up-guy...

Ohio State education in action!

As has been stated, he didn't mean Kristin until after the cancer. If I hear one more snippy woman talk about how she doesn't like lance because he dumped her asfter she stayed with him, I will roll up the People magazine they are reading and slap them upside the head with it.

They all want to be seen as the victim and identify with Kristin. You know, the wealthy (thanks to Lance's money and connections), attractive and thin woman. They think she is one of them b/c she went through heartbreak.

Whatever. 90% of fat mid-american wives would dump their hubbies in a second for Matthew McKindagay.

You answered his question by clicking on the thread.

To the OP -- I agree with you 100% on Lance. I feel bad for his kids.

No, I clicked on the thread hoping to answer the question. As it turns out, I mostly agree but I'm tired unto death of hearing about Lance Armstrong. Want Lance Armstrong to go away from the media spotlight? Stop paying attention to his every move.

I'm sure lance spends as much time with his kids as collegiate coaches that are away regularly.

well,

if U follow the sport Lance got out because the drug testing got stricter...it's why he did not compete in the Olympics

& why he originally backed out of his last tour(when the tour announced it's testing policy he said no...when they postponed it for a year he said OK)...

think about it

Good grief, do you realize that your imagining something does not make it reality?

Since you "follow the sport" and appear to have some inside knowledge, why don't you tell us what precisely changed in the "drug testing policy" that got stricter? To make you look even more ridiculous, give us a link to this info preferably from a reputable source. Your imagination does not qualify as a reputable source.

Well well, suitcase of bullshit is back! The chief PR manager for the Delusional Movement for Lance A.

Now, before you start with all your third-rate penis envy theories again, remember you still owe us an answer. Do you personally think Lance doped? Yes or no? And I'm gonna completely ignore any of your stalling tactics until you answer the fu\cking question. Deal?
