Steroid cycle...just like Fuentes' training plan for Hamilton included.
He is not fat. He is "thick muscled." You can see from the super low body fat percentage on his legs and arms that he is not fat.
the big ring said:Weak!
The trick to weening yourself onto the stuff is butter. Lots and lots of butter.
It's awful. It is black slimy butter! Yuck!the big ring said:Weak!

1) you could see some gut
2) Why did he suck so much if he is "thick muscled". He wouldn't of lost that maount of time for being "thick muscled".

I think once he got the payment for TDU and went to Hawaii with the family he just couldn't be farked anymore. The long haul travel also steals days away from your training. You cannot do a 6 hour ride for at least 4-5 days and you feel like s1it even when travelling on a private jet.
I think most of all it was Contador. When Armstrong started spewing all that stuff about Alberto and the wheels etc. and Contador just smiled and shrugged it off it really got to Armstrong. He knows he can't beat him on or off the bike.
I think Armstrong also got himself into a hole with Radioshack. He now has to support the team and it's riders when I think he'd just prefer to slip away.

I really wanted to see how Phil and Bob were going to wash LA's ball, they weren't that bad. Here are a couple things that stuck out to me. I also added a couple comments from my dad who only knows cycling from watching live a couple stages in the Tour of Cali.
Phil and Bob thought it was stupid for Euskatel to be on the front chasing the three. I think they may have said boneheaded.
Both admitted Astana wasn't as weak as they thought they would be. Said something along the lines of they built a team with riders during the transfer period that really seems to be working together and in sync.
When LA was rocketing backwards, Phil said he rode with LA in South Africa and he can really ride a bike. He gave the excuse the Lance is still recovering from his illness. That it was early in the year. They were overjoyed at RS doing so well, Horner and Machado who was called by a different name every time Phil said it.
My dad was watching the last bit with me, he came to do yard work, his comments were why were so many teammates with the old guy? He seemed too far back to "get in trouble" and need help. Unless the course cones were bring picked up and the guys were his map holders. I laughed... Didn't have an answer for him. As he pointed out, some of the other guys back there actually did turns at the front, which is why they were back that far. Why would a professional who didn't kill himself for the team be back that far. Said he should get Weight Watchers on the line.

He cannot climb because he is huge, i.e. heavy. You can see the muscle in his biceps, triceps, shoulders, and pecs. I bet he has a sixpack.
His training also has not been consistent, so he is down on power.
BroDeal said:Formula 1 is on. The commentators are really barracking for Webber.
Bye bye Webber, just crashed i think.
Cadel and Webber are both similar. Both Unlucky!
His excuse was that his body was still malfunctioning from his illness. Well, lets see if his TT is any better, because I can't see how a body malfunction will affect him in a 8 km ITT... I'm a bit of a fan of him and seriously disappointed...
ErmOkk said:
I don't believe he was actually sick. It was an excuse not to suffer through 300km at MSR.
We did not see anything in stage 1 that would indicate that he has the power to do well at the ITT.

ie when the steroid gut goes there's a six pack underneath.

has tapped some very good ar5e. But yes a c0cksucker. The British Press slam him all the time.

Use of lots insulin or IGF-1, possibly in conjunction with HGH (no one is really sure), causes visceral fat gain in the abdomen. Fat is gained around internal organs instead of under the skin. This is why body builders have stomachs that look like beer bellies even though they have super low subcutaneous fat levels and you can see all their stomach muscles when they flex.
Listen to bobke roll in this vid...funny..

If Bobke could lose his Armstrong fetish, he would be an entertaining color commentator. He can be really funny at times. Ligget and Sherwin are always so serious.
I have that DVD named 'Crash' and he wasn't too bad. But then no mention of Piestrong. It's the same with Ligget and Shewin, when they do a race where there is no aforementioned Piestrong racing, they aren't too bad.
You are correct, he was dropping off the back at 5kms.....half a km before Vino stepped on the gas.karlboss said:
So, in fact, the truth is worse than the fiction.
Still, it is quite clear he never went into the red, but rode within himself.
Since he rides to train and is training when competing, he might as well stay home until July.
I suppose he is keeping the ass cam guy in a job, though.

More worrying is that seeing Contador was on a bad one and it was a day for the 2nd tier riders it makes losing 5 minutes even worse. How can he expect to make up that 5 minutes and then surpass it?
Now in saying all that we'll probably see him bomb of the front and smash the the entire field by 5 minutes come Tour time. I think if that occurs there will be a rider protest.
