@ wingedangel. dude where to start?
why on earth would mainstream media call conspiracy on those who accuse armstrong of doping? (if that's what you were implying, sorry i found that opening paragraph a bit difficult to follow)
if lance was a shelf stacker then maybe it wouldn't have been sucha big deal but he is an elite sportman and returning from a debilitating life threatening disease has to have an affect on performance. besides you've got to be pretty heartless not to see even a tiny bit of a life affirming story in the whole returns to win tour episode.
no one said any of those riders you mentioned were anything other than heroic whether compared to lance or not. I don't think anyone on here has attached any special sainthood on LA at all. some people said they thought he was a great rider and then a whole bunch of people said they didn't like him. the haters seem to have a lot more energy for the fight on here. And i'm glad lance is making lots of money because there is lots of money in cycling and at least it's going to the rider, almost makes your socialist heart weep with pride that the guy mainly responsible for doing the hard work is getting rewarded.
