Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

What did he try and neg you for?

Breathing?

SJWs like to spoil it for everybody

Apparently he's pro-Betsy? Must be that my observations on the documentary are somehow not in line with his ever so complex political views on the world. I don't know to be honest as he just left '.' as the comment.

In his vow of silence the neg button is the only way he had of expressing himself but obviously boss-man has seen fit to take his toys away.

It's more likely that people have been nerging him into oblivion and so now his reputation score is so low he's unable to make any negative or positive impact anymore.

Pauvre jeez :(

The threat has been neutralised.

Jeez. What a total Betsy.

If you read the Secret Race, you knew this was coming. Never thought Lance would cave and fess up tho!

Jeez. What a total Belmsy.

Fixed that

I watched the "Stop at Nothing" docu and thought that Betsy Andreu is well worth a yentz.

The rest is painfully old footage which we all knew anyway.

Betsy Andreu came across as the heroine of 'Stop At Nothing', IMO.

She is still really obviously angry at having her life ruined by LA and his lying & cheating, which went on for more than 10 years, that and the fact that he still refuses to admit that she was telling the truth about the hospital room, which is the snag that allowed Walsh et al to unravel the LA tapestry.

I preferred Stop At Nothing because it focussed more Lance's victims than Lance, but my non-cycling gf thought The Armstrong Lie was far superior.

The only thing that I had a problem with was that SAN opened with the Gaggioli / £1 000 000 race thing.

Stitching up a race like that is morally questionable (maybe), but it has nothing to do with doping.

The Armstrong Lie was a decent film if a little unpleasant to watch – too much hanging-out-with-Lance.

Stop at Nothing is well worth a watch.

I liked the clips and background on the 1995 tour (way before my time so new to me). That seemed like a pivotal year (looking at the names that thrived, or quit). Poor Boardman!

The 1999 tour footage of US Postal is good too, either riding or messing-about it's good (if brief) context. The presence of Hincapie joins-the-dots to more recent history. The climbing pace does look incredible.

The film moves pretty fast to cover many of the characters who shaped the story – essential because this is a story of character weaknesses being exploited. Many are nice enough people but weak or too easily led (including Frankie Andreu, Steve Whisnant and countless others). You could make another film about the systems exploited, the doctors, the failure of the state case and fucking Oakley.

It's nice (and unexpected) to see how much difference the few decent people eventually made swimming against a tide of turd. Betsy Andreu (who's consistently self-assured, principled and hot), the Lemonds and Walsh.

I'd love to know who Tygart spoke to regarding how and when the 'takedown' would occur. That'd be a scoop.

A bit under-reported I think, but LA spent a day in May being questioned by the UCI historic doping commission.

Stop at Nothing is well worth a watch.

A stop watch? :)

Me and the Ms watched Stop At Nothing today, both agreed Betsy came across as honest and credible and a really strong lady. Kimmage was hilarious when he got into fecking mode, fair play to him though.

And the highlight for me, the blink and you miss it footage of that lone guy standing in the middle of the road handing out feed bags with the peleton wizzing past him on both sides at 40 mph.

^^

Yeah that didn't seem normal.

I have watched both The Armstrong Lie yesterday and Stop at Nothing today. I agree that the latter is a bit better because it is less sympathetic to Lance than the former. Both failed at asking and trying to answer the question I had about why he finally confessed.

Ouch!

I see that Evans are still quite keen on LA

Depressing.

I want to do a beer mile. How do I get involved in this sport?

four beers per mile by the look of things.

'Chunder mile' in the UK- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_mile

I can now call the occasional beer I have while walking home from work "training."

Kinda like the idea of him racing leopards before monster truck rallies or boxing kangaroos at county fairs like some disgraced sportsman from olden times.

Guess he thought the entry form said " gear mile " .
