Lance Armstrong The Biggest Fraud In Sports ??

[marcojuiceman]

On another occasion, as the Armstrongs and Andreus drove to a bike race in Milan, Italy, Armstrong stopped at a hotel/gas station outside Milan to meet Dr. Michele Ferrari, now infamous for supplying cyclists with performance-enhancing drugs. When asked why they were meeting him in such an odd place, Armstrong replied, "So the [expletive] press doesn't hound him." Leaving the other three in the car, Armstrong disappeared into Ferrari's camper for about an hour. When he returned, Armstrong exclaimed, "My numbers are great!" – the insinuation being he wouldn't test positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
The next day, Betsy Andreu asked Kristin Armstrong about her feelings on EPO. Her answer: It's a necessary evil.
Just three months later, Lance Armstrong won the 1999 Tour de France.

From Armstrrong's comeback from cancer in 1998 through his seventh and final Tour de France victory in 2005, his former teammates claim he used EPO, testosterone, human growth hormone, cortisone and blood transfusions. Among those making the claims are Hamilton, Andreu, George Hincapie, Floyd Landis and Jonathan Vaughters.

How could something so apparent and obvious be fraudulent?

Is there really anyone who celebrated his success who didn't know this sort of stuff happens in sports?

[PhillyFlyers]

A-Rod.

marco, if you were in his shoes and someone offered you wins after wins, i'm willing to bet you'd have done the same thing.

this guy is a cancer survivor, what did he have to lose?

problem is like every ego maniacal narcissistic asshole he started believing his own bullshit. so his fairy tale became reality and now he has lost that I am surprised he hasnt gone off the deep end. Or maybe he has anyone seen matthew mcConaughey recently?

they are told to deny deny deny until proven guilty. to be honest, he never tested positive and in court of law that's all it matters.

besides, if you think this is unjust, how do you go about your day with all the bullshit that's going on in our government?

when it comes down to it whether it was derived by his ego and narcissism, he did more good than bad for cancer and cancer survivors imo...

[tim0402]

cant stand lance he is the biggest phony out there

[boeing power]

Carl Lewis is close.

[Naz18]

Of course, the thing is a good amount of people still think it's part of some conspiracy because he's American.

[Ernie Mccracken]

There is absolutely no one anywhere near the top of sport who is clean. Not now, not ever. Knowing this, I'm going to cut him some slack. Still one of the greatest athletes in modern history and a great story. His legacy will only be tainted in the eyes of the self righteous who see the world through black and white lenses.

His reality was that he was the fastest finished in all those races. If at anytime anyone believed he wasn't on drugs, they were the delusional ones living in fairy tale land

[spankie]

yeah he's the only one in sports using roids.

[billysink]

I know he is the most famous athlete ever that no one really every cared about the fukkin least until he got busted.

How many of you rushed out of bed in the morning to watch highlights of men in spandex riding bikes in the mountains.

Me neither.

Who fukkin cares.

billy makes a fair point here i think

[gummo]

McGwire or Bonds. Nobody cares about bicycling.

[SteelRain]

pretty sure high level sports athletes have been juicing since the 1960s

[smitch124]

You are simply not even close to competing in cycling without "cheating" he won 6 tours against a whole field of cyclists doing the same damn thing.

[crustyme]

guy has a net worth of $125 mil......

dont think he gives a crap.

[marcoloco]

Frank Dux, but I dont care Bloodsport is still an awesome movie

[garygroundwork]

all the cancer bullshit continues to get him sympathy

hes a penetrating con man liar and cheat

[Shafted69]

did he share the conditioning coaches as Barry Bonds?

[muldoon]

Can't compare Armstrong to Bonds or A-Rod or McGwire

The baseball players were definitely cheats, but not only was Armstrong was the main figure in an organized cheating ring that risks ruining his entire sport. Look at all the people he's also tried to take down as well. Pretty amazing. Kind of wish he'd just fess up and come clean, then let ESPN get the documentary started.

Hand it to cycling though, they're not screwing around with asterisks.
