I used to really like LA but for me his act has finally jumped the shark. It's been a time coming, beginning with the Hollywood phase he entered when he and wife Kik split ways. When I see LA now I see Joe Montana in Kansas City Chiefs garb or Michael Jordan in a Washington Wizards uniform ... a man living on former glory who can't let go of the applause, the accolades, the locker room, etc.


Please Lance, go retire try to regain some dignity. Radio Shack... Good grief:(

I don't know if he is cycling's Brett Favre or Brett Favre is football's Lance Armstrong.

Boxers are another lot who just can't figure out when to quit.

Or Contador, who only weights about 60kg yet still beats Cancellara

Woldn't that be to do with the climb on the course as AC weighs 20kgs lighter than FC therefore he would be able to go faster up the climb.

For the 32214534115753218th time: Contador has always been a time trialist. He was the Spanish u-23 TT Champion FFS. Plush e has been winning prolouges and TT's in the last few years now.

So you just post that every time somebody disagrees with your warped view on armstrong do you? It doesn't even have any relevance but I guess if you're incapable of presenting reasoned argument it might seem cool to you in some kind of edgy net geek kind of way.

Feel free to change my view with some logic, if you've got the ability to present some.

well if hes up to no good in the mountains hes up to the same as everybody else... he wasnt caught with anything this year, others where, no doubt next year he wont be caught with anything, others will, yet he will remain the dirtiest man in the pelaton...

im no lover or fanboy, but i dont have the energy to be any more doubtful of him than of anybody else...

one thing i do know, is it wouldnt surprise me if he won next year, saxo dont have the support for baby schleck, and AC without JB has the tactical nous of a kipper...

personally im more worried hoping that bmc get invited to PR and big george gets another try... yes.. i do admit to being a hincapie fanboy.. :D

good post.

Funny, if your personal "logic" suggests to you that Armstrong just trained harder than everyone, that his heart must be as big as that of an elephant, and that his world renowned "spinning" technique are responsible for his wins, then I am not sure presenting you with ANYTHING logical would be recognized. Therefore, keep your ignorant view, its all you have.

OK, so your point is AC has been doping for a long time then.

His previous TT results do not compare to his current ones, and his climbing as improved as well. So he must have become much more powerful, gained aerodymanics, while actually losing weight :rolleyes: I can only believe 1-2 of these would have occurred, and one generally sees a trade of with weight vs power (even LA has demonstrated this, and keep in mind that LA is not exactly being discussed as a 'clean' athlete here!)

Sure it has relevance. This is Four four's post, which my post was a response to:

"so you all realize contador is just as doped as armstrong i hope no one thinks otherwise. i would think the people who clearly dislike pro cycling yet talk about it all day are at least not only hating on and accusing armstrong that would be rather hyprocritical and one sided. all you mainly here is armstrongs doping allegations but not other obvious suspects."

It's nothing but crying and whinging about the forum. It is the same bomb he hurls into the forum every couple of weeks. He just cannot stand that people are discussing the doping in pro cycling, so he throws a tantrum--much the way you throw one when people discuss what a jerk and fraud Armstrong is.

Garbage, it's just a generic response to belittle the poster rather than counter the argument. Just like you comment I 'throw a tantrum' over whatever you choose to make up. You think armstrong is a jerk and a fraud, fair enough, but some of you bring it in to everything and your bias is just ridiculous. Like I've said before saint Conti vs totally evil lance. Pathetic. A guy wins 7 tours, and yet some of you post about him like he's a talent free hack. contador slams armstrong in the press more than once, and a bunch of you focus only on Armstrongs tweets in response. And you claim others cry like baby's ?

The way some of you carry on you could suspect that 2 or 3 people here are paid to post by 1 party, and a bunch of other idiots copy them because they get of on the hate. I've seen that on forums b4, literally.

By the way when you're telling me what a 'fanboy' of armstrong I am, please point out where I've posted my undying love for the guy, because I certainly see any examples

Who here is getting paid to post and how do I get on that gravy train?

It's not my fault you throw a gear everytime someone does not bow down and worship at the feet of The Lance.

Ya gotta love these guys who claim they are not fanboys but get riled up every time someone says something ill toward the object of their man love.

Reminds me of Larry Craig's "I am not gay" response. If it walks like a duck, and taps its foot like a duck...

you are very good argument and I totally agree with your piont. The angry people in this forum are always hating on Lovelly Lance and it makes me so sad. He is just much better trained harder and lost more weight than all those other dirty doper cyclists like Little Berto.

I heard that Lance pionered the gluten free diet and once beat up Chuck Norris.

Love. WondeLance.

You are a true comedian. Saying something good about LA is a cardinal sin on this forum. Are you trying to be funny? Your signature is quite hlarious.

You're still misrepresenting my posts, and creating a point of view for me I've never expressed. Are you just dishonest? a little lacking mentally? or is this part of the damage that extreme armstrong hating is doing to some peoples mental balance???

I'd suggest saying something not negative about LA was a cardinal sin around here:rolleyes:

Here we go again. Another incarnation of the troll. You must have a sad life little fella.

Again, I do not believe you are actually a cycling fan. You are most likely a sloppy fat guy posting from your bedroom in your uncle's trailer. Wow, that is an impressive amount of toilet paper in the trashcan next to your computer! Anyway, keep it up. Hopefully this screen name will be banned too.
