Lance Armstrong to admit doping throughout his entire career.

I lost interest at least a year ago.
Lies, spin, rinse, repeat.
Who cares. I just go ride my bicycle.

 

Old news but I think this is more to bolster the ratings of OWN because she "got it" first.

 

Given how Armstrong destroyed any number of those who testified against him, I think he is a massive dick. I would much prefer it if he just went away.

I too just like to ride my bicycle.

 

I used to think he was a pretty stand-up guy and used his celebrity for good. It's a shame to learn he's really one of the worst examples of sportsmanship and citizenship out there.

 

Actually I think that Lance is despicable, and I don't feel that way about the juicers in baseball.
Lance wasn't just doping, he was the guy running the doping operation.
And along the way he callously destroyed the careers of young riders just starting out in the sport. They won't ever get their chance back to be professional cyclists.

 

What does doping do to the body? Does it give you an edge or does it make you superhuman like steroids make you big.

It will be interesting to hear what he has to say; I just like to hear both sides.

The Onion got another story right years ahead of time...

It would be great if this interview ended just like the article did.

If you are going to cheat, you have to commit to it and not get caught. Also, bow out of the spotlight, disappear, leave the country, put out your statement and move on.

 

As Borla noted, there aren't going to be declared winners for those years.
You might go far enough down the list to find someone "clean" but in all likelihood it just means they were so far out of the running that they were never vigorously tested.

 

I know people who believe that if you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough to win. Personally, if I have to cheat to win, then I won't win.

Best joke so far: At least he had the ball to finally admit it.

 

they all do diff things and he took them all. cortisol helps with joint and muscle pain/sprains. the blood transfusion thing is where you take your own blood out so your body ramps up production of red blood cells then you re inject it. basically it allows your body to get more oxygen which obviously would help.

steroids and growth hormone it isn't so much that makes you get big muscles, it's that it speeds up the recovery process. so someone who lifts weights might have to wait a day or two to lift again, someone on these drugs can workout back to back days or even two or three times a day allowing for faster growth. for lance i suspect it was to help him recover faster from these grueling practice and races.

yeah there really is a big difference. these baseball dopers weren't total control freak assholes like lance obviously is. how do you sue someone who says you are doping? he said he sued more people than he can remember.

 

Despite what else it might do, it obviously gives you cancer. Lance has had it six times. And is just me who thinks the sane person would stop injecting himself after the first run in with it? Ok, easy to say one thing had nothing to do with the other. How about the second time? Relapse? Coincidence?

Sorry, but somewhere well before the sixth diagnosis I would have said, fuck the bicycling if it means I have to keep injecting myself with cancer in order to compete.

Glory hound - to his own detriment more than anyone else's.

 

It seems that the eagles are circling above waiting to sue. His career really is nothing without the drugs. So after years of lying, cheating and bullying, he deserves to have every cent stripped from him. I heard he offered $5M compensation to someone. Thats like a bank robber have a choice in how much money he'd be willing to give back after being caught.

 

Wow and how long has George been dead?

 

I saw this and if nothing else it adds an angle to the discussion.
