    The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

    Why Does Armstrong Feel He Is Above Anyone and Everyone??? I know this LA thing is a dead horse, but after reading the blurb about Bruyneel tweeting some exploits about officials not letting Team Radioshack wear a different kit, it p's me off. Where does Armstrong get the balls to feel he...

    Contador blasts LA

    Evans wasn't a domestique for Van den Broeck because he couldn't keep up! And the other teams as you put it, have other riders vying for different events within the tour, ie. sprinters, mt. climbers. I really can't recall one time in the tour where Astana was on the front on a flat stage...

    Not at all, in fact I would rather see the fact that no one ever mentions his name again! :) Someone said, can't remember who, during the tour...20 years down the road the Armstrong that people will remember is Neil for walking on the moon. Don't want my life to pass that quickly, but...

    Well, given that my wife works in healthcare and I know quite a few people who save lives through her everyday, I guess it is time to forever hold your peace, lol. And these people do it because they love to do it, not because they feel obligated, nor do they ask for appearance fees and build...

    I agree with the helping of others. But just think what $5 million here, $5 million there could do for the actual scientists and doctors working to reach a cure! Does Armstrong really need to make that much money off of trying to help others? NO.

    I don't think there is anyone that would regard a cancer foundation as not needed. Any person, company, foundation, etc. that is willing to help people in need is widely needed and normally accepted. What I personally don't find attractive about the situation is that Armstrong profits from...

    Team orders??? Bike race, 4th (amongst the Astana team) in the prologue, bike race...race being defined as - a competition of speed, against an objective criterion, usually a clock or to a specific point. What would make a GOOD team player and not present the "I" in team as Armstrong has...

    I think before the summations come out about the items that the Livestrong foundation produces, we would need to find out how much of that proceeds actually go to cancer research? I would hope, I think otherwise, but I would hope that NONE of the proceeds would go into Armstrong's pocket. If...

    It is unfortunate to have someone be such a diplomat toward cancer research only to use it to catapult the food chain to feed his ego. It's unfortunate that his appearance fee to talk about cancer is a reported $200k. I wonder how much of that is directly put into the foundation? I seem to...

    Contador blasts LA

    Really??? So just because someone has accomplished more than me on a bike, that means I can't attack him or beat him simply because I need to respect him? I can admire the accomplishments someone has achieved, but when we are both entered into a race...it's just that, a race! This whole...

    May I sum it up..."Shut up Lance! You lost, move on!"

    What was up with Frank S.

    You know, the more I read on this post about how ludicrous I am with the theory of earlier negotiations between LA and FS and the POSSIBLE reason why he wouldn't bridge to his brother, the more I realize that not many out there think money is all that powerful. I see that there are new posts...

    Contador blasts LA

    Well, if Bruyneel is making plans like that for each stage, shame on him. Why in the world do you send three or four guys back to protect someone that is ranked 4th within your team after the prologue? From that day forward, LA should have been protecting Kloden, Leipheimer and Contador...not...

    Contador blasts LA

    In all honesty, it would be hard to wake up everyday and look at yourself in the mirror if you were LA after that tour. Everyone states that he is a master with the press (and I agree, he is very political (maybe practicing for what seem to be his reasoning for making a comeback) and speaks...

    Contador blasts LA

    Regardless of the outcome of AC kicking LA's ****, one thing Mr. "I've won 7 TDF's, so I deserve some respect" doesn't take into consideration is that he has only won the TDF. All of the other guys he puts himself into a category with have won the other grand tours as well. Seriously, think of...
