Armstrong, I believe has now admitted that he used drugs. He and any other drug cheat should never be allowed to compete in any sport again.

 

Spare a thought for any 'drug free' cyclist who competed against Armstrong and gave 100%, and lost to a bunch of cheats. Imagine their dedication and all the thousands of honest hours training they went through.

Totally agree :thumbup1:

 

If he goes to court and wins the right to compete ii triathlons (which I believe is his intension and the reason for this confession) I hope all other athletes refuse to compete with him and boycott any races he intends to compete in.

I would have used a motorbike, might have been more inconspicuous! (least it would have been clean)

Feel for the chaps who have bought into the livestrong brand. There must be alot of disheartened folks out there who have seen there hero fall from grace. Must affect there recoveries in some way.

From the Guardian today

 

In the autumn of 1993, Greg LeMond and his wife, Kathy, were sitting at home in the suburbs of Minneapolis, when they received a visit from Linda Mooneyham, the three-times Tour de France winner has recalled. Her 21-year-old son, Lance Armstrong, had just become the world champion and she had travelled from her home in Texas for advice.

 

"What does he do now?" she asked. "What does he do with his money?"

 

"Well, let him find an agent – a good one with an attorney," LeMond replied. "And one word of advice – just be his mom."

 

They sat on the porch for a while and then moved inside to the kitchen. Linda had something else on her mind: "How do I make him less of an asshole. He doesn't care about anyone."

 

"Well," LeMond replied. "I can't help you there."

Sad to say that was the impression I got from the bits of interview I have seen, he did not seem in the least bit sorry, just appeared annoyed he'd been caught :thumbdown:

He is a cheat and his defence is "the other kids were doing it as well"

 

For me the worst of it is the hypocrisy of litigating against those who said LANCE ARMSTRONG IS A DRUG CHEAT means he is a DRUG CHEAT that’s also a LYAR and HYPOCRITE who kept genuine sportsmen off the podium.

 

The fact is that he had to sue to perpetuate his on-going cheating, his entire existence became one big lie.
