Lance in 30 years

[Basecase]

where are you all getting $20m

He is worth $120m which I take it to mean that is all his assets, less his debts.

Yeah, you're not a numbers guy, are you? You know how those tallies work, right?

I do like how you tossed in the €, but I don't think anyone here is fooled as to your country of origin.

€ was a typo sorry.

Well prehaps you'd like to clarify the definition of worth? Oh here we go http://www.google.ie/#hl=en&safe=of...87,d.ZG4&fp=dbd3bd8a1dc4f409&biw=1280&bih=638

Is my country of origin relevant? how so?

Grrrr! Read the thread.

$20 in cash.

He doesn't have $120m in cash.

That's why he had to remortgage the house to access cash.

Haven't we been through this like 1000 times?

 

[Basecase]

Yes apologies guys, the $20m is estimates of liquid cash at this time.

Fair enough

 

[SundayRider]

More than enough to have lived a quiet life in say Hawaii or some place and stayed under the radar.

 

[HL2037]

Why is everyone assuming that if Lance confesses then he will be allowed to compete in triathlon despite being banned for life. Where do we find this rule and does it apply to other athletes as well? Will Ricco be able to continue his career if he confesses in some cheasy talkshow?

 

[Basecase]

Is that what you'd like?

For him to abandon $100m in other assets?
To restrict his ability to make further earnings?
To restrict himself to a Pacific island where press and media can still track him down?

Apart from him being a total a$$hole when it comes to the bike, I gather the man does have some basic civil rights apart from that? Or is it ok to restrict them too?

 

[Lajeretta4Ever]

Denied the right to compete in high level competition and unable to afford to eat at fancy restaurants in Aspen, I'm afraid Lance will supersize...

I think you took what I said a bit too literally. He could live a quiet life and avoid the media but he loves the attention and the ego boost it provides.

I'd like to see him suffer the same consequences as any normal citizen would for doing the cr@p he's found guilty of.

Hard time...

Pay for his evil deeds.

Force him to apologize in full page ads....

 

[Basecase]

Pay for his evil deeds.

Does anyone think someone who bought a Trek because of LA would have a case against him?

Or if an American spent thousands on a trip to see him fraudulently win TDF would have a case?

You are EXACTLY RIGHT on your comments!


Except I was thinking along the lines of ...Lance ensuring the destruction of Lemond's bike biz, keeping Frankie from being hired in cycling, publicly smearing Betsy, defaming Emma and branding her as a *****, sending threatening texts to innocent women, making sure certain riders tested positive, cheating our government by using taxpayer money to support a doping program and supporting his lavish lifestyle...
Oh I could go on and on but my fingers are cramping..

 

[ebandit]

case

never bought a trek but lance owes me.........................i love the

tdf and i had to watch him and his doping team win 7 straight ( luckily those wins were annulled

but i still had to sit through that crap! )

 

[datalore]

But Bill has always had warmth and an easy appeal with people. Lance is cold, and more hero-worshiped than loved.

Bill also screwed up in a way that wasn't fundamentally political, whereas the controversy surrounding Lance pertains directly to the legitimacy of the achievements that allowed him to become an icon.

 

[SpeedWay]

+1

Unlikely though.

Its the very people who claim to want him gone, who continue to promote his every move
Their relevance depends on his relevance.

Nothing new here. Lance has owned their minds for years and will continue to do so until their dirt nap.

and will any of these now pursue Lance for losses etc?

Incorrect. His relevance depends on money and the people who want him gone aren't the sort to funnel any his way. His relevance or lack thereof goes far beyond editorial commentary. It's much bigger than that.

to the OP: why 30 years when in 2 years time he'll be ruined? there is NO turn around for this one at all-no sponsors will back him up at all-& just wait for the Feds to revive the lawsuit against him!!- let alone cancer crusades dropping him like a bad habit -even among his most loyal advocates- he has lost all credibility and his name isn't even on the charity's front name. doubt it? just check how Susan Komen's scam got hurt big time because of resent scandals.....
He is literally done!!!
