This is the last of the arguments for the Lance fanboys. If it's true, why did Tyler Hamilton and Matt White both said they need to apologize to all the clean cyclists? I'm guessing they have a better idea of the peloton that some wander on letsrun.
Actually this is what I believed all along. I NEVER thought cycling was clean, and I've never thought track and field was clean since the advent of blood doping and then EPO.
Anyone who has believed otherwise was NAIVE.
Same with pro baseball and football.
They've all been using whatever was available and in fashion behind the scenes, and anyone who thinks that less than 50% of MLB and the NFL was using stuff, is just NAIVE.
i hate lance armstrong. he's a dumb, lying cheater.
he has a shat-eating grin. he wants to have his cake, eat it, and then dump it while sitting on a toilet.
this is the type of bernie madoff crook who's going to screw you over.
that is a stupid argument to defend lance armstrong.
hey look! everybody's is inhaling that bong at the party. i might as well do it, and i'm a nice, healthy guy because everyone else is doing it too.
hey look, i just saw some fat guy throw a paper bag on the ground. i might as well litter too because everybody is just doing it. look at all that trash on the park. it's ok, and i'm justified because everyone else does it too.
what about the hard-working, young cyclist who wants to win and is well-behind on the pack? he doesn't take any drugs. can you tell the difference between 25 mph and 20 mph on a bicycle? the steroid-user is going 25% faster, but i can't really tell the difference on the television screen, unless they're side-by-side. i'd prefer the natural, honest cyclist to win over a cheating, lying scumbag named lance armstrong.
Would you prefer he dump it while NOT sitting on a toilet?
Like a boss
I have recently watched the Boston Media and Red Sox media gushing over David Ortiz' who, along with hundreds of other MLB ballplayers, tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. The almost always negative and petty Dan Shaunessy noted Big Papi was the Red Sox single season home-run king with 52, with no mention of how he used drugs to help him attain that status.
Why is it that certain athletes are completely villified (Armstrong, Bonds, Clemens) while others can slide?
Very nice reply!

With that kind of thinking then it's fine to go out and shoot as many people as you can since it's all fine and dandy if you don't get caught, right? Just because you don't get caught doesn't mean you didn't do the crime. Lance did the crime and eventually got caught. It's just like someone who snipes people in the park and doesn't get caught for 10 years. That doesn't mean he didn't kill people for 10 years. But I guess according to you that man would be innocent since he wasn't caught in the act...
It is a funny picture because we all know that this is how he won his titles.
Or to be precise, his EURO competitors were on the couch chillaxing, while he was busting his a** on the bike, 5 hours a day, in the snow, in a headwind, up the mountain.
THAT'S WHY. Pure Awesomeness.

Dear Rojo, you seem like the kind of dip that is intimidated by others success and cant shut the f up about anything until other whipped as panzies agree with you. why dont you climb back in your cave, stick a dildo up your dumb a and go to sleep.
why don't you lance fanboys go carry his jockstrap.
lance armstrong is a dumb nut. he lies, cheats, and burns bridges.
That's a great picture.
Thanks for sharing.
If all of the cyclists dope, which they likely do, then ALL of them were cheating which still makes Lance the best in the world for 7 Tours.
But I mean seriously, would anyone want to be him right now?

Moron. There are tens of thousands of amateur cyclist that don't dope. Those are the ones that are being betrayed.
Imagine you run a Marathon, train like a maniac and come in in 2:25 as number 20. You know that number 1-19 all took PEDs. Would you be ok with that?
the big boys get off the hook, while Lance is nothing more than a distraction.
Soon there will be another Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong, A Rod, etc etc....but nobody cares about getting Pushers or those in charge of it all.
but getting Lance makes some of you feel good....so Lance is laughing at you!....and I get it....do you?
There are recent audio interviews with Mark Ziegler, an American journalist who follows doping in sport, and Tyler Hamilton here:
http://competitorradio.competitor.com/
The Ziegler interview in particular hits on the broader consequences for cycling and other professional sports.
(In getting the link I see they've also just interviewed Leo Manzano and Sally Kipyego.)

He's "laying on the coach."
It's what speakers of English would call "lying on a couch."
Of course Lance may be wary of using the word "lying."

Or its because he's a badass, who doesn't give two sh!ts what you or anyone else thinks about him...Move on. He doped. Who cares? Apparently not Lance, and definitely not me.
Why should Lance feel remorse anyway? He wasn't personally responsible for doping in sport or the fact that the testing was a joke, mired in corruption.
