The man has retired and there are still some people using every opportunity to spit on him.
Pathetic.

He couldnt drop him but Contador was at his wheel, and even he couldnt drop andy when he attacked. it is not the same level to be at the wheel of someone.
It is the same than this Year with froome, Contador wantsn better than Froome in Ancares.
So?

How does being better but not gaining any time make him a bigger favourite to win, when he has to gain time?

It looks like the fictional Andy vs. Contador battle will still be the most interesting one for years to come :)

Justice is served... in the shape of a giant fruit bowl. Merci, Monsieur le Président, for this nice gesture.

Where do get that he is being spit upon? Because opinions are different from your fond memories of Andy?

Was AC's 2010 Trophy taken from him, or are there 2 now?

Two, I'm pretty sure. They can't break into Contador's house and take the trophy. It probably has an inscription anyway.

Yeah, he's got some big dawgs walking around, it's not likely nobody will notice strangers walking in

I guess they only literally take away olympic medals, so I think they made a new one

Someone just noted that it might be Alberto's trophy since Andy got it after 4 years. Let's hope that isn't true.

If Conti had any sense of decency, he would have given it back a long time ago. Heck, even Riis, a borderline sociopath, knew he didn't deserve his yellow jersey and told authorities they could come collect it from his home.

If he has any sort of brain he should have locked his trophy in a vault and installed a security system to keep ASO officials out. It's his trophy, he won it, he received it on the Champs Elysées.

If Andy had any sense of decency, he would not have posted such a ****ing proud picture on Twitter. And I am not the only one who feels that way from what I've read on several websites :D Funny to see how many people slam Andy and wish this is the last time we ever read anything about him online. He just luuuuuvs the attention. Sickening.

Maybe Contador deserved his bad, but I always feel sick about the nr.2 getting the price while we all know better.

If you think cheating makes you a sociopath, you better look it up in the dictionary.

I wouldn't mind it if it was Contador's actually, they probably would have had to rework the incription, if that's visible its something to remember for little Andy

I would mind it, it's Alberto's trophy. It's very frustrating to think about.

You have your websites, I have mine :) Heartwarming to see how many people applaud Andy and wish this is just the beginning of many more we will hear about him. Also just a tip, if you are one of those sick(ened) people who don't want to hear news from Andy, don't click on a thread called "Andy Schleck Discussion Thread" :)

In this case I clicked the thread because I knew that picture would be in it, and I had to say something about it :cool:

So now convicted dopers should be able to keep the trophies they got by getting unfair and illegal advantage over opponents?
The ones he won clean, according to the governing body, are his.

Well generally the popularity of Andy and his comments during the last year have been extremely cringeworthy.
I'm sure that in Luxembourg he is really populair, but outside of Luxembourg I'm also pretty sure his popularity is dropping. Unless people like crybabies lately... :D

No it's not. Contador was caught, how dubious his ban me be. When you get convicted they take away your price.
It just usually sucks since the nr.2 is doing the same in cycling history.
