    2016 TdF, Stage 12: Montpellier → Mont Ventoux (178km)

    Re: Re: No. he was having a natural cheat. It one thing to not attack a GC leader but taking a fake piss so your teammates can recover is not the same. One protects the integrity of the completion by making it fair, this does the opposite by giving his team an advantage. All the way up Mt...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: The USADA report is neither comprehensive nor particularly reasoned. It is, however, along with CIRC, all we have. Until they quit screwing around and declare a full amnesty with anonymity in the report, they continue to encourage all the players involved to hedge their bets. Either...

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to Chris Horner

    WTF, you joined just to say that? Sad.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    You can only know this. You can't know. Personally, my opinion is that nearly everyone cheated but the numbers are so overwhelming that we'll never know the clean ones.

    Dear BeIn Sport,

    Especially since it is tape delay coverage. Why? Yes, cycling is the ONLY reason I pay for this channel.

    When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

    What do you expect him to say? "I hope to come back and stink up the joint?" When you come to work do you say that to your boss? :confused:

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    I don't think you can separate the two right now. He can't possibly take the risk of trying to heal the personal wounds he inflicted until his legal issues are resolved. I don't dispute that they are separate problems but the solutions are entangled.

    "another interesting piece I found on the UCI and president Pat McQuaid " Thread

    He'll never get any help. The only path forward can not involve UCI at all. This is one of the few times JV has been right. If the UCI wants credibility, they should so what JV said. Dedicate a portion of each teams budget to pay a third party do to ALL the testing. UCI can't have ANY part...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    We get it, you think Betsy is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc. Yes, she told the truth as she sees it but she also had that opportunity long before she was asked to do so. And she knew that her husband was doing the same thing and did nothing about it. Don't misunderstand me, I think she got...

    JV talks, sort of

    What would it say? "from 1900-2006 Doping was prevalent in cycling and then mysteriously stopped." The facts to anecdotal evidence ratio is very low.

    Red Bull Allegedly Doping like Nike Allegedly Dopes

    At the very least it says she has poor judgement. Why would you take up with a serial cheater. He cheated on Elin and while I loves me some Lindsey, Elin is hotter. If he cheated on Elin, he will cheat on Lindsey. I see what he gets but aside from a ride in his G5, what does she get?

    Levi Leipheimer

    And this is somehow different than all other professional athletes? It's the nature of how they make a living. I think Levi is a terminally introverted man in a sport which does not reward shyness. I have no reason to think that inherently makes him a **** but it certainly would come across...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Seriously, I can make a video of anyone saying whatever I want it to say by careful editing. And honestly, why is anyone spending time on trying establish that an admitted liar is, you know, lying? Next up, Phrenology.
