Lance Armstrong: Succinct Arguments

People who have views about Lance Armstrong have strong views. There is a lot of material to explain why people may have these views, to back it up, to put together a 202-page document.

If you had 202 words (or less) to put across your best argument against (or for) Lance what would you say?

This comes from a discussion I've been having with friends about the case, a few who are complete against him and a few who support him. I have always thought he dope and could write and essay about it...but am interested in how people would put together the strongest argument then can in a small number of words.
 
Excellent challenge. And one of good use.
There is just too much evidence and opinion to be condensed to even a decent sized book. Lance has been creating fraud history with every breath he takes, it almost seem.

When I have time I hope to make an effort, find the word counter in Word, etc. Others will hopefully beat me too it.

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.


I now have 192 words left over that I can use to ridicule the other person as they try to defend their Saint Armstrong.
