Kristin Armstrong Adresses Recent Events

There are many things being said about me right now; some are true and some are not.

What about "rolling the joints"? Yep, true.

I cut her a lot of slack because she has 3 kids with Armstrong. It is not easy sharing parenting with a vindictive louse to begin with, and I can understand her unwillingness to tell the public everything she knows and inject herself into public battles with her children's father. I think that's a reasonable choice for a mother to make in her situation.

Also, she has obviously benefited financially from her married name and associations, but she is in fact a talented writer.

^^This^^. If Lance made one good choice in his life, it was marrying Kristin.

But, of course, he fouled that up, too.

Couldn't have been stated better if you were Travis Tygart himself.

This is all that's left of your defense of Lance: attack the messenger. When exactly did you go from denial to acceptance?

Let me see, the attacks have come from your side. Travis T. Tygart = Mr. Obvious = Tor.

People like you are sheep. The Tygart final report on Armstrong fails to correlate passed tests with he-said testimony.

Poor Science + Poor Legal procedure = Failure

Tygart Report = Good Political Report

Talented writer- HA! How many of her articles were you reading before she was MISS ARMSTRONG! There are a thousand women that could write like MISS ARMSTRONG but they weren't considered for RW bc they weren't married to you know who.

He would go Kung Fu on her???

"wasband" really?

Not sure what she was blogging about. She sounds really dumb there.

Interesting is isn't.

If Kristin Armstrong has something to say, she should come out and say it. She could start by admitting to knowing about her ex-husband's doping, assisting him with it and living comfortably off of the proceeds of cheating. She could admit to sitting by and watching Greg and Kathy Lemond go through absolute hell while she -- on her lawyers advice -- made no comment when asked to testify.

But if she's going to come out with some half-arsed between-the-lines drivel about being sorry -- while at the same time living comfortably on her dirty money divorce settlement -- she can just go and get f**ked.

She should just shut up.

I'm glad someone started a thread on this.

Last week, I went to both Runnersworld and Amazon.com and logged in and left comments telling others of her alleged doping of Lance Armstrong and demanded that the matter be addressed.

The weird thing is neither comment now seems to be there. Were they deleted? My RW name was "Robert JohnsonLRC" and my amazon name is R. Johnson.

In my amazon review, I admitted I hadn't read the book be but asked why would anyone believe anything she had to say since she let her husband lie to collect $5 million +.

Maybe it was pre-wedding nerves and somehow neither comment got posted??? I'll let you Internet sleuths figure it out. That seems weird that it would be the case but it also seems weird that both would be deleted.

I actually think she's a good writer based on her post now but it doesn't go far enough.

By law she cannot testify against her husband. In general the US supports the sanctimony of marriage, so there is this principle that a spouse cannot testify against spouse. There are some exceptions, but that's what that is.

There's also this...

[whispers] They can't arrest a husband and wife... for the same crime! [/whispers]

She is guilty of assisting doping and living off the proceeds of a decade of lies. Slightly less guilty than Lance, but still guilty.

I found it in the Urban Dictionary, with a first reference dating as early as 1992. I kinda liked the term. Simpler and more descriptive than ex-husband.

Rojo,

Maybe now is a good time for you to do some research on this previously mentioned "marital privilege". I think it works two ways:

1) She can not be compelled to talk if she doesn't want to.

2) She can not talk at all if Lance doesn't want her to.

This obligation survives even after divorce.

For all those critical of her silence, she may not have a choice.

1- He's a bike rider not a priest.

2- He cheated on all of us maybe you too ;)

3- He got rich by training and lying

4- if we as a society had better reasoning Lance would not have any medals bcz medals are for great heroic acts not some game or race.

5- surley the wife knows, yet instead of making him confess day one you cashed the checks and had kids. if you did the right thing the $ and accolades would be returned, but now the kids wont be fed daily right? If he was honorable and frugal (not to mention "protected") you wouldnt have those kids who need top level education...paid by frauded sponsors. I realise its too late. invest, be frugal, and make amends. Not free lessons from lance but a real sacrifice to other kids in need.

No athlete should be made into a millionare bcz of photoshoots and ads. That $ should go straight into hungry mouths. All this for a stupid ride thru France! idiot...

Cool term! :-)

My ex-wife calls me that. Seriously. We both think it's funny.

As for Kristin...It's human nature to rationalize when that much money is still coming in.

It is amazing that you can be so outspoken about Lance and in the next breath praise Alberto. The front page comment about Alberto and NYRR Hall of Fame is ridiculous.

Anyone as connected as you are is well aware of Alberto's connection to the dark side.

This is not a court of law and you do not have to prove anything nor do you need a positive drug test and I am not asking for you to be outspoken against Alberto but stop kissing his ass.

She is one person I would love to share several cups of coffee with. I'm sure some day she will want to get all she knows off her chest. Until then I hope she continues to always love and protect her children.

It's evident that she is still quite fond of Lance. I doubt she really accepted the breakup. Now this media circus affects their kids and her alimony potentially.

And what role did she play in his or others doping?
