Lance Armstrong - Does Anybody Even Care Anymore?

[Diogenes]

and ND and Swarbrick are worse for covering up for him. HIs 'teammates' are coming out and outing him now...said he knew and milked it for PR....what a scumbag.

ND and Swarbrick covered up for Lance Armstrong too? That university has no shame.

He still hasnt apologised to Paul Kimmage.

Kimmage was the ex-cyclist turned journalist who first exposed doping in cycling to a larger audience. All the outings in cycling over the past 20 years can be linked to Kimmage's campaigning against doping. The french can him 'the guy who spit in the soup'. Armstrong has made personal attacks on Kimmage and has been trying to sue him.

Does anybody even care?

um....lemme check.....NOPE!

it was great that him dominating the sport irked the French so badly for about a decade. I liked that part. Even though he cheated, he stole their joy and they can't get that back....so for that, I'm still appreciative of Lance.

My biggest disappointment though is that he ruined one of the all-time great cameo appearances in the movie "Dodgeball" :laugh1:

This mess just showed us how easy it is to pass PED testing. Lance never failed a test. Have to wonder how many pro athletes are getting away with this right now.

VADA and CIR random testing is the way to clean up pro sports according to Vic Conte.

I think that is being questioned now. He may have indeed failed some tests, but bribed or coerced his way out of the results being submitted. Who knows to what extent his cheating entailed. We may still never find out.

I have no issues with anyone cheating to gain an edge in their sport.

They are trying to win and virtually every sport has been dominated by cheaters.

I would certainly take HGH right now if I had the monetary means to secure the proper doctor, proper true HGH and proper regular testing needed to insure it wasn't damaging me. ((Anyone ordering crap off the internet and injecting it is flat crazy))

Lance's issue with me was in his self-righteous crusade against anyone who ever suggested he doped.

I mean this dude had the lunacy to go to court and sue people for saying he did what dozens if not hundreds of people had evidence he actually did.

I can abide cheaters... hateful liars is altogether a different story.

Livestrong don't Liestrong.

Just to make a point:

Lance didn't just dope, he ran an extensive doping campaign and forced others to become a part of it, i.e. he propped up the doping industry. It's also said that during races, he also intimidated those that tried going against him by winning, making them 'fall back in line.'

Not everybody doped either.

Lance is coming out now, most likely, because his statue of limitations for perjury is up. He lied under oath 7 years ago, so if he came out before now, he would have been prosecuted.

I think its bull that he has always been the face of steroids in bicycling. Every single rider that has ever finished second has been found guilty of doping. Its pandemic in the sport and he is just one of the many. Villifying him was wrong, and I don't blame him for ever attacking the media who did the same to him.

I don't think it's the 7 year statute.

I'm wondering why he came clean. And I'm wondering why some people are even surprised.

I think they had something on him. He prob made a deal.
