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

Oh...and that...sentence...and socialism...doesn't compute...it's like talking about Imelda Marcos, Shoes, and restraint...they just don't go together...

Lance being...a little rich..fine...Lance...having a 'foundation'...fine...Lance...doing 'charidee'...fine...saying he's clean...utter shite.

And as someone that claims to understands socialism...how can you justify Lance probably having upwards of 100 million in the bank? the man is a corporate sponsorship whore of the first degree...he may as well have 'I love satan and nike' tattooed on his forehead...

You have any Idea how much money that is? Just how much do you need after say? 10 million? You have any idea what 'crimes against humanity' Nike have behind them?

I'd stop if I were you...It's like trying to defend Bono...which is another pointless occupation.

When Tiger Woods was caught out and the scandal started breaking, NONE of the US news corps carried images of him with the reports. They had to report it, but were clearly minimising the exposure deliberately.

Clint, if you are so naive to believe that these sportspeople-who literally generate billions for sponsors (Tiger is officially the first sportsperson to earn over $1 billion) don't have any way of influencing the media then you are totally deluded. You just need to look at Murdoch's influence with Sky and all his newspaper titles and the influence it has had in the run up to the election.

Armstrong -sure he has natural ability but he has clearly doped in his career and is known for bullying and intimidating both other riders and journalists to get his way. The argument that 'everyone does it' doesn't hold water-even if it were true all riders dope, the amount of money and logistics spent to ensure products used for doping can be arranged is substantial, not to mention the medical support required, mean that is not a level playing field, so in this case all he has really done over his career is prove he is the best at doping.

I find it sickening the way he uses cancer patients as a shield to hide behind-he has clearly tried to create a situation where if you attack Lance you are somehow proCancer, and whatever good he has done for patients seems coincidental to his own PR machine. That is just cycnical media manipulation and a jesus complex.

You've all ready ridiculed LeMond for being abused when he was kid and infer it is a kind of weakness for hi to now be talking about it-he was a real champion and doesn't flinch from the truth. Armstrong has destroyed people's careers to ensure secrecy and his own success and seems unable to come to terms with his own limitations as a cyclist. I just find it really sad for him that everything he has achieved seems to be ultimately a huge deception-the clock is ticking down to when he is going to be exposed and will have to answer to all the people he's let down and fucked over, and Landis, prick that he is, is at least man enough to do that.

Facepalm for Clint and Lance from a repentant junkie celeb:
