  • To be fair, he did come back from cancer and do something most well people couldn't do (ride the tour), let alone someone recovering from cancer, so he can still be a source of inspiration.

    Well, of course it is wonderful that Armstrong was cured of cancer, but it's always worth pointing out again that that's nothing unusual for his type of cancer:

    [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_cancer[/ame]

    Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90 percent overall; almost 100 percent if it has not spread (metastasized). Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, modern chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 80%.

    Now, I realise that Armstrong's cancer had metastasised widely, but you'll note that his chances of survival were still pretty good.

    To me, the biggest fraud in the whole thing has always been the equivocation of testicular cancer with all other kinds of cancer that Armstrong used implicitly to bolster his myth. There's so much woolly thinking, if not outright deception, in there, that it's essentially worthless nonsense.

    errr... is there a highlights video?

  • There are no highlights. It is evasive, half-arsed crap all the way through. The world would be better off without him.

  • So you wouldn't suck him off then?

  • Just wasted 3 minutes of my life watching the first bit. The same delusional rubbish that he's been spouting for years, but with a different angle.

    His body language has 'I'm lying' all over it.

    Still, Giro hats are now on sale....

  • Ha!

    'I'm lying and I not only do I feel no remorse I'm also not sure why anything I have done is wrong but i'll play along with all this as its the only option I seem to have left.'

  • A woman at work, who has no interest in cycling whatsoever, told me how Armstrong was the main inspiration for her husband when he fought cancer – and lost. When he was ill to sit up in bed reading he would listen to Armstrong's audio book and had tears in his eyes. He would say things like: "If Armstrong can win Tour the France after having cancer, the surely I can manage to survive this". He didn't but his widow always held Amstrong in high esteem after that. Whenver she saw one of those yellow rubber bands she thought of her late husband's final weeks.

    Except now. She just hates the lying cunt - not so much cheating in sport, but for messing with the minds of millions of cancer patients.

    It's just on top of that he's a lying, cheating, cunt.

    There's still a question to be asked if there's a direct link between his ingestion of testerone and steriods [and fuck knows what else] and the testicular cancer

  • Warning these anti cancer drugs may have side effects: nausea, giddyness, memory loss, extreme physical endurance, megalomania, malliot jeune

  • the most hurtful thing in this whole affair is the realisation that one of my cycling gods, AndyP, has been lieing to us, can we believe anything he has ever said?

    I still believe andyp hasn't lied. I believe after all that has happened, lfgss is making him tell a lie just to set them free and give everybody what they want. Its easy for the world to be jealous of a man that has accomplished blah blah blah.

    No.

    He's a fraud.

    just realised I may well be complicit in Andyp's huge fraud, and his "so-called" top 10 placings in local events.....I'm keeping my mouth shut!

    I stand by andyp

    I'll stand by andyp but if big "Buffalo" Bill Hincapie also confesses to lieing all bets are off.

    Look, I'm all for standing behind, beside and by andyp because he is our hero but the simple logic is this. I race clean therefore anyone who beats me in a race must be cheating and should be banned.

    (caveat: I consider good diet, training and never being referred to as portly as cheating).

  • There's still a question to be asked if there's a direct link between his ingestion of testerone and steriods [and fuck knows what else] and the testicular cancer

    That's probably unreasonable speculation, even from an oncologist.

    What might be more reasonable speculation is that the masking agents masked the early detection of the cancer.

    Again, speculating unreasonably, late detection may have contributed to its aggressive spread.

  • Is medical speculation unreasonable? There seems to be very little concrete evidence that categorically establishes a link between steroid/hormone abuse and testicular cancer in humans but that does not exclude speculation

    I was playing devils advocate to a degree - as Lance used the "with my medical history, I wouldn't take PED's" as a line of defence and denial, then that same rationale could be directed back at him

  • That's probably unreasonable speculation, even from an oncologist.

    What might be more reasonable speculation is that the masking agents masked the early detection of the cancer.

    US cycling doping program didn't work out so good for the other riders who came through with Armstrong either.

    Ernie Lachuga (testicular cancer) Ernie was one of Americas top under 23 riders and a member of the same U23 team that included Lance Armstrong,until late in 1998 he too was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

    David Francis (healthy) member of the US U-23 cycling team. Whilst remaining healthy he submitted testimony at the lawsuits of Stock and Kaiter that Wenzel (René Wenzel - former coach of USA Cycling's national junior team), submitted them to "doses of vitamins and 'extract of cortisone.

    Greg Stock (auto immune problems)

    Erich Kaiter (chrohns disease)

    Strock says the doping began in France, when he was racing poorly because of a bad cold. His condition improved rapidly after the U. S. team coach gave him pills that were supposedly vitamins and an injection which he says the coach calledextract of cortisone.But there's no such thing as an extract of cortisone. Cortisone is a cortico-steroid, banned in the kind of injections that Strock describes. In large doses, cortisone depresses the immune system, and Strock says those injections became routine.Strock thought he was alone until he filed his lawsuit eight months ago and gota call from someone he hadn't seen in 10 years - Erich Kaiter, his teammate at U.S.A. Cycling."We were given the same injections at the same times, and we raced together pretty much at every race during that year," Kaiter said. "And I became very ilwitha lot of the same symptoms that I now know Greg suffered."They don't know what was in those syringes, and they don't recall taking a drugtest in those days. But they say the injections were given by the U.S.A. Cyclingstaff, including coach Rene Wenzel, trainer Angus Fraser and, according to documents, coach Chris Carmichael.

    edit Also

    After Armstrong's cancer diagnosis, former teammates say, even Ferrari questioned his methods. "I remember when we were on a training ride in 2002, Lance told me that Ferrari had been paranoid that he had helped cause the cancer and became more conservative after that," says Landis. (Ferrari, again, declined to talk to SI for this story.)

  • Good write up on inner ring

    http://inrng.com/2013/01/questions-after-oprah/

    Including speculation to why he says he didn't dope in his comeback.

  • I really want Oprah to ask why he's actually 'coming clean' now and how we can actually believe him. Just to watch him confirm to anyone who hadn't worked it out that he's still a lying prick.

  • 2 birds, one stone
    are you dating Anorexic twins?

  • I hope in part 2 Oprah shits on his chest then kicks him in his ball.

  • was just listening to this.

    http://youtu.be/vL0TtQkOXMw

    seems quite an apt description of Lance's relationship with pro cycling.

  • Lance had testicular cancer, but so did the Legend of Landon Town. Jimmy "the whirlwind" White. I say biathlon US Pool then Snooker @ crucible, if Armstrong loses he goes to Prison. Battle of one bollock! PPV

  • Look, I'm all for standing behind, beside and by andyp because he is our hero but the simple logic is this. I race clean therefore anyone who beats me in a race must be cheating and should be banned.

    (caveat: I consider good diet, training and never being referred to as portly as cheating).

    This is the reason I didn't win a single race last year... Although with the addition of the caveat I am also a cheat.

    And for this, I am truly sorry..

  • No longer will standing behind, beside or by andyp confer automatic performance-enhancing advantages. The myth has been well and truly shattered. :)
