Lance Armstrong is still a Proud, Clueless, @@@hole

Armstrong is not a winner. He is a doping cheater and thief. He should be in prison right now, and for a long time into the future.

Yet he finished first in the tdf seven times ahead of everyone else who was doping, and is still loaded with amazing houses in Aspen and Austin. He leads the lifestyle most people dream about.

Im sure he’s very concerned about the opinion of a random loser posting on the interweb.

Yeah, I think that Bernie Madoff also got to keep some of the houses that he "earned." I'm sure that Armstrong isn't concerned with the opinion of anyone because he is a sociopath.

LA is the Rosie Ruiz of biking, except way worse. She only did it once; LA did it for years.

Bollocks

Lemond Lammerts, Boardman, Hampsten, Bishop, Robert Millar, Wigeilus, Brian Smith, fignon, roche, all 3 roches actually, etc etc - not doing it... so everyone was not doing it. A lot yes, but that is not everyone.

Lance did it because he had no moral compass, a rapacious demand for filthy lucre and could not face returning to Plano to work in a gym or convenience store.

His belligerent stance and lack of penitence is still sickening after all these years and a shocking example to set for his children... and yes, I hope he reads this.

For me it wasn't so much about his doping (a lot of people doped and everyone lied about it), but about how he tried (and succeeded in some ways) to ruin people's lives who were telling the truth about his actions.

What he did to Frankie and Greg, among others...just despicable. And to never apologize for his actions. Such a tool.

Correct. True all over

Just dumb dumb dumb is LA. Nuance passed him by.

Madoff is in prison. Armstrong is living large in Aspen.

If Lance was not doping then his “slot” and his money would have been taken by someone else who was also doping. There would be zero change to the experience of the clean rider.

So you believe there are an infinite number of dopers on planet earth?

If the robber hadn't stolen money from the bank, then another robber would just appear and steal the money anyway?

If the plane hadn't crashed, then another plane would just crash anyway? Is this your pessimist logic?

Please do not rip Lance.

A fellow journalist this week texted me to let me know that in Lance's most recent podcast, he admits to being a reader of my work. As a result, he's now untouchable on here.

My only hope is that Ive unknowingly bashed a response Lance wrote in one of the many stupid threads such as: "would you date a 20 year old?"

Knowing this is not an impossibility provides enough of a laugh.

Thank you.

While Armstrong isn't exactly a likable character, I find people who are hypocritical or naive enough to judge him more disgusting IMHO

His lack remorse is an example of why there should be jail time for doping. If one steals millions of dollars they go to jail, why not a sports doper? Yet he’s still a millionaire? I don’t get it and until the consequence is more serious doping will rule endurance sport.

That's the whole thing, isn't it... Things didn't work out for a lot of people around Lance.

And he was spot on with his comments and concern.

Saying nothing would be the wrong thing.

How did that work out for him?

You need some work in the logic and reasoning department.

Let’s look at how it’s working out for lance’s kids. Oldest son at Rice University. Top level school. Plays on the football team.

Winning

You said it. He’s living large and is not concerned about the way you think things should be.

You're using a reductionist fallacy.

We don't want only 1 man to have stopped cheating with drugs. We want all cheaters stopped.

You're trying to say that Lance Armstrong is just a drop in a bucket; therefore, we shouldn't criticize him.

You're trying to say that Margaret stole $400 worth of food stamps; the federal government has billions of dollars; therefore, Margaret didn't affect others much, and we should all admire Margaret for feeding her children.

It is an embarrassment that LetsRun has Lance as a quote of the day. Lance (and all dopers) is/are an embarrassment to athletic endurance sports. I was like 8-10 years old when Lance was crushing it in the tour and I had a strong feeling back then that he was a dirty as they come.

The entire Peloton was/is on PEDs, that is not the issue, the issue is that Lance was so arrogant and mean to people. There is NO WAY you can ride in the pro peloton if you are not on drugs, these guys are all great cyclists and if you didn't take drugs you would find yourself working at Home Depot real quick.

Perhaps you like this better:

in 2015 — that Salazar was experimenting with a substance based on the chemical L-carnitine. L-carnitine is legal, but The Sunday Times reported USADA’s report said Salazar “almost certainly” broke anti-doping rules by providing it to his athletes via an intravenous drip. According to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), “intravenous infusions and/or injections of more than 50 mL per 6 hour period are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions or clinical investigations.”

Salazar reportedly emailed disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong with excitement after testing out L-carnitine. “Lance call me asap! We have tested it and it’s amazing,” Salazar wrote.

You think Salazar would've sent that email to Lance if Salazar and his athletes were not as dirty as Lance was?

If it smells like a rat, there is a rat.
