One of those livestrong sites has a forum. I noticed it when we were digging to see if Armstrong was up to scurrilous financial activity. I'd bet that is a fan friendly environment.
The Cycling News forum is still looking to add volunteer moderators with. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!

This thread reminds me of another that used to be at CF called Other Forum Follies.

BroDeal said:I was saying in the "most passionate Armstrong fan" thread that we should start a "Foreign Forum Follies" thread in the general forum. We can keep track of the hilarity that takes place on other cycling forums.
Example: RTT had her moderatorship yanked at DPF. Yet, somehow, ChrisH still has his.
Eva Maria said:RTT was truly unstable.
Did anyone see when she wrote that the reason why Steffen was let go from Postal was because he was a junkie. A completely invented story they let sit up there for a week.
Kennf1 said:I saw that on the Diluca thread, and noticed on her maniacal post that it said "unregistered." About time.
Digger said:Just been in RBR, obviously only to read the posts, being banned and all that. Basically there are no people posting views which are of the view that Lance isn't a walking saint, or that Lemond isn't a nutcase. Great discussions.![]()
BroDeal said:Does anyone know why RBR started banning everyone? Did Coolhand crack up? Does it have anything to do with The Paceline going down and RBR hiring the person who used to run The Paceline?
We should grab the last few valuable members of RBR. Blackhat would be a nice addition. Dwayne Berry used to post occasionally at CF before that forum fell apart. He still posts at DPF. If anyone has contact info for lookrider then PM me. I might be able to recover the username of his email because it is a term from a movie, but I cannot remember the domain name.
Thoughtforfood said:I got banned in one day at RBR and all because I was posting as a racist from Idaho. Those people have NO sense of humor.
BroDeal said:You came on way too strong. You would have done better to have praised Lemond at any and every opportunity. Coolhand would have gone crazy.
SpeedWay said:You sound like a bitter and vengeful person - you'll fit in fine here.

The Executioner said:and you sound like a close-minded, judgmental jackass. You'd fit in well over there.
SpeedWay said:Not bad, but as a rookie here you're still a little wet behind the ears. (By the way, thanks for the compliment).

This site has a very large Lance following. Which I find comforting.
It’s important for everyone to understand the way Lance thinks to really know him then you can become a fan:
The 2008 Tour de France was a joke. As were Carlos Sastre and Christian Van de Valde.
The French want to line the street and knock me from my bike.
As do the French Director Sportifs.
The French anti-doping labs governed by WADA are corrupt and fraudulent even though I've "never tested positive".
The French riders are lazy and don’t train hard enough.
No other rider trains hard enough or smart enough even though I was beaten like a redheaded step child by a Luxembourger and Spaniard.
5 time Tour winner Bernard Hinault is a w*nker.
3 time Tour winner Greg LeMond has sour grapes and is a s*it stirrer.
I have no conflict with him but I will ruin his business and him.
He has a conflict with me.
It’s ok to belittle and berate your own team mate who is winning the biggest stage race in the world.
It’s ok to completely ignore their victory not turn up their winning celebration and then accuse them off not being a proper team mate.
You should only congratulate your team through the media. Never do it one on one and in personal fashion – its less genuine.
You should also chastise in the media those who are better riders than you.
The Spanish press don’t know reality.
The French Press are nothing but gutter journalism and tabloid.
As is the Italian press and should not be spoken to.
Any UK press featuring either Kimmidge or Walsh should be sued and anyone else quoting them.
The US press is good bar the Wall Street Journal.
The US press is even better when I provide the copy.
The Giro d’Italia is too dangerous for most riders to ride even thou it’s been staged for 100 years with minimal complaints.
However it’s ok to accept 2 million euros to ride the dangerous race.
The Spanish riders are too nervous and have lots to learn even though I broke my collarbone in a Spanish race and was a labelled a “neo pro” by the Spanish riders.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that when there is wind you should be up the front of the peleton.
You also need ESP so you have the tip-off from other teams that they are going to force a break.
I’m doing this for awareness even thou I’ve had a book commissioned, a documentary being filmed and agreed a fee for the film rights about my career.
Remember what the NIKE commercial told you – I’m doing it for them.
It’s ok to leave a drug testers sight for 20 minutes.
It’s also ok to call the head of the UCI direct and find out why you’re being drug tested. Every rider has this privilege.
WADA are a joke.
I’m sorry for the cynics who don’t believe in cycling, this is a tough sport and hard work wins it.
