I need some help with my math.

All things considered, LA's kids, his women and if he is functional or not is not any of our business


Is the point you are trying to make: He took drugs to regain functionality of his unit proper; therefore he must have doped in cycling?

Not really....

You understand what the proverbial,,

"You're making a federal case out of this"

means?????????????????


There IS a gigantic question mark about the PROBABILITY of a guy doing what Pharmstrong has done after his illness.

What I'd like to know is how close he really is to Bristol Myers Squibb?

What kind of $hit are they giving him?

Nothing like having them for a personal sponsor. I think LA's been the best lab rat they ever had...

You can't point to any person at all out there, that has survived cancer, and had any sporting success at all.

Andreas Gallaraga - MLB all-star a year after non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Jon Lester - MLB pitcher who had anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Has since thrown a no hitter, won a world series and been voted an all-star.

Josh Bidwell - Had a 10 year NFL career as a punter after cancer.

Jeff Blatnick - Wrestler was diagnosed with cancer in 1982. Won gold medal in 1984.

Mario Lemieux - Hockey player. Diagnosed in 1993. Played until 1997, came back in 2000 and played until 2006. Was one of the leagues best players for much of that time.

And there are plenty more if you want me to go on. I'm afraid you are wrong about this (and quite possibly about much of what you posted).

I remember walsh ballester s LA Confidential interviewing an ex rider who had gone through same treatments as armstrong, and never managed to come back to professional cycling. Can t remember the rider s name. Owning a cafe in france if i remember well

You missed the guy that got Olympic distance swimming gold after cancer. It happens. Lance seems to choose odds first, bet on them, and beat them. All for the greater glory and drama of his persona. I don't really get it.

Can't believe some guy wants to discuss Lance's sperm..

I didn't realize I was being graded as if it were a college assignment.

Now you know. Lot of unemployed grammar police frequent this site.

Thank you for catching on. Not only is there this stress on the system from years of riding, but so soon everyone forgets pictures of him in the hospital bed post surgery, and in the middle of treatment. He was bald was he not? Not purely from shaving, but precipitated from chemo and radiation therapy that make your hair fall out in clumps. Then you shave it. Yes indeed he had massive doses of radiation, you dont bypass that in stage 2 cancers.

The math adds up based on these improbabilities. Im just trying to point out a different angle here. To go through such rigorous medical treatment, to the point that your reproductive health is impacted and you donate with that expectation in mind. Then within a year, you are on a bike, and doing well again? Highly unlikely, and perhaps some of those tests that are further in question now back up additional and ongoing treatments, giving benefit of the doubt. What better excuse than than recovering from cancer, bone marrow issues, and to use procrit, and other drugs specifically for cancer patients?

Are you suggesting he Didnt have cancer?

Not sure exactly what your point is.

Yes - what he has acheived (with or without drugs) is mighty impressive. As someone who has cancer myself - to watch him be able to climb those mountains after having cancer is incredibly amazing and inspiring.

The effect his foundation has made in raising awareness and hope for cancer sufferers is immeasurable. (Even if his foundation has some questionable financials ... he has still done an enormous amount)

But - yes I think the evidence is pretty clear that he did it with PED's. And to spout so much absolute garbage constantly about how he is clean is doing himself no real favours.

(personally if it meant I would be able to do that, I would take whatever the hell he took - but it doesnt mean that he should be able to do it in elite sports)
