I was thinking that he also has narcissistic personality disorder. Our family has been experiencing it with my father-in-law and it is only getting worse. When this all came out and watching that interview, it made total sense.
He found his talent when he was young.
He developed his talent when he was young.
His body developed deadly testicular cancer.
He attacked the cancer, and beat it.
His body became less muscular above the waist.
As a result he became a better cyclist than triathlete.
He improved in cycling to the level where to excel on the biggest stage, he had to break the written rules, just like the top tier bikers.
He chose to break those rules.
And he is still protecting the actual method he used.
This really explains how he is acting. He has no remorse and feels he deserves special treatment.
She says he's probably mentally ill.
So that means he shouldn't be allowed to own a gun?
Really, if you had a $100 million on the line you would adamantly deny it too. Its human nature the people who are mentally ill are the ones obsessing about this story that everyone knew about a long time ago.
yes, sir... wrote:

You would deny it, but you prolly wouldn't sue people over the allegations. Seriously? Keep quiet. take the "high road", so to speak, by ignoring the accusers. But to sue them and threaten them?
That's just plain weird, blind arrogance.
No, i would sue. Threats like lawsuits help make sure no one else will come along with the same accusations. You would defend your 100 million however you could.
Tom Cruise sued people for saying he he was gay. Now press sources no longer say it...but people still think it.

She says he's probably mentally ill. And she really hasn't followed the situation/news until recently, but that's the conclusion she came up with, hearing about his actions. Now I know some might see this as an excuse, but it could just be the truth -- how else could someone live such a bizarre, twisted life, attacking people he knew were telling the truth, destroying people's lives, etc., etc., unless he is a sociopath, or at least seriously bipolar/has some kind of major personality disorder.
Again, this does not excuse his repugnant behavior, but I think it is a plausible explanation. He might need help, seriously. And to be honest, he should seek it -- it might also be the only way people (some people) will understand his actions. If it is confirmed that he is disordered due to a mental illness (or multiple illnesses) some of this would almost make sense. Or at least make more sense.
If not, then what, he is just evil? Perhaps, but I think the odds of serious mental illness in this case are very, very high.
He reportedly had a very disruptive and difficult childhood, so I'm sure that contributed to at least some emotional imbalance. I'm sure the emotional issue is at least part to blame for his actions. I'm old enough that nothing much shocks or surprises me anymore, so this whole issue is kind of a non-event as far as I'm concerned.
What do you specifically want me to do? Wait, approach, go away, continue more of the sh*t, help, ignore....
No,Armstrong is not mentally ill.This boils down to what
Native Anericans to their demise observed hundreds of years ago,'White man speaks with forked tongue'.

Uh....what are you trying to say?
Not any more than other superstars in sports or entertainment who decide that their success justifies the bad behavior. Usually there is an entourage of enablers. I don't buy cancer being behavioral game changer. Near death usually humbles normal people.
