Drug testing protects the teams at the top and holds back the less cashed up teams starting out.

They need to take a look at the ANDRA regulations and introduce a "Top Fuelers" or unrestricted class.

wat

[belchardo]

thought about watching the interview, but then thought **** it, the turd isn't worth it.

if only i had seen this earlier...

[sammydog]

I haven't seen it, but the wife has been texting updates, apparently he has admitted to doping up until 2005. So thats all of his Tour titles covered. Clean in the comeback.

He has admitted to bullying the peleton, etc.

I'll sit down tonight and watch with a few beers and some EPO.

[plague]

I'm pretty sure he lied through the whole interview, which now means I'm not sure if Lance Armstrong ever existed.

[belchardo]

flicked over just as he was refusing to answer whether he lied under oath in testimony taken in the insurance case.

pretty ****ing clear you did you dick.

[q-money]

100,000 expected for the tour down under prologue tonight, is on nine (wtf?) at 10.30

[goaliepersempre]

Meh he still had to ride the tour... Yeah disappointed but that was the sport... Now with the bio passport getting harder for it to exist(until a wonder dope type) admitted to epo, blood transfusion and testosterone..

[sh10]

sometimes you get sportsmen who you hate because they are cheats on field or whatever but they can actually be decent blokes off the field. This guy just seems like an absolute **** of a human though, as bad as hutcho

[MFKS]

Same bloke though did make up for his lies and deceit and behaviour by raising millions and millions of dollars for Cancer sufferers and also inspiring many Cancer patients to believe they could beat the disease.

All that has happened here is they have destroyed a possible beacon of hope for cancer patients and denied the Cancer research community a pile of funds because of the influence the Lance Armstrong myth had.

It's not like the 7 TDF's are now going to a deserving johnny cyclist who has peddled hard and played a fair game and stayed off the drugs because the blokes he beat were also done for EPO since these TDF' wins.

I am actually Sickened by this whole incident. The Lance Armstrong myth had a positive effect on the world and so many non believers have tried ever so hard to destroy it using whatever means possible and years and years of persecution to bring it down.

It is like telling some 4 year old kid the truth about Santa just to be a ****. It doesn't achieve anything positive and not saying anything allows the dreams and fantasy that is Xmas for kids be that little bit more magical. All these pricks have done is destroyed some of the hope cancer patients could look to whilst under going treatment and look at Lance Armstrong and stay positive b3elieve they could overcome conquer and achieve.

Is that such a bad thing??

[q-money]

lance armstrong destroyed the lance armstrong myth, no-one else

it's not persecution if you're guilty, and he is guilty as sin

anyway, **** him, old news

cancer patients are better off putting their hope in the amazing scientists working on curing the disease, not some ****ing bloke who cheated while riding a bike

if you want a hero, look at jens voigt - 41 and on the attack on the first lap of the crit on sunday, deadset flogging himself into the ground for your enjoyment
