Kayle was the victim of his own stupidity, bragging about it and taking pics of it in his own hands and in front of other people. that's pretty strong evidence

killermeter said:The most tested ahtlete of his time and not a single dirty test, just speculation and inuuendo, no bags of blood, no coded name for his dog etc. nothing to tie him to anything. This is the USA, we like more concrete evidence
Thoughtforfood said:Lance's actions are destroying his life. The victims of his lies and vindictiveness should not be blamed. Its like saying the kids yelling are responsible for their dad burning them with a cigar. Take your formulaic post to whatever hole Armstrong has left as a fan forum.

Thoughtforfood said:Dude, I am sorry, but this post is WAYYYY too 2005 for me to respond. Your copy of "Lovestrong: Internet Forum Handbook" is only a first edition. You need a newer version because the new fanboy mantra is "everyone was doing it and I don't care anyway because he talks about cancer a lot."

vrusimov said:...you have an unhealthy obsession my friend...the vehemence, condescension and outright hostility you display in your posts is in no way constructive...judging by your post count i can appreciate that you can't control your urge to put matters to right particularly where Lance Armstrong is concerned...understand that fans "blind" to the evidence of Armstrong's guilt will be just as vehement in their disagreement...many have less invested in the personal destruction of the man...the cute but insulting "fanboy" jabs only further illustrate the level of disdain/intellectual arrogance displayed by many here at the merest mention of something pertaining to Lance Armstrong...for the majority of fans ignorance is bliss, especially fans stateside...you're going to need an industrial size bag of indignation to beat down positive perceptions of LA...maybe you have that, like i said, your post count is rather high...
...many here are approaching "Lemond" levels of obsessive behavior about this guy...i don't personally like Contador all too much but i'm not gnashing my teeth together on a daily basis in a caustic ritual of bashing everything related...life's too short for that crap...if you believe in karma then Armstrong will get his, whatever it ends up being...
...do i want to see clean performances?...bet your life but the realist in me acknowledges that where corporations, sponsorships, careers and money are involved there will always be those who'll seek to circumvent procedure for their own benefit...that little space we carve for ourselves in life becomes something so precious to some that moral relativity becomes a true survival instinct...and they'll bend it in whatever way to maintain that space...human nature, as ugly and reprehensible as that may be to some...
...in the end, this is entertainment, not life-altering...doping be damned, these guys still ride longer and harder than most of us ever will...personal pontification on the soap-box because we demand the highest levels of character from athlete's, who's livelihood depends directly on performance, is placing too much faith in something as flawed as a human being...cynical?...maybe...but i'm a realist...i've lived long enough to realize that "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"...
wiry pyruvity said:good point...i suspect that the diuretics that have been historically used had a lot more to do with cardiogenic pumonary edema than with achieving a lighter weight...
killermeter said:And that statement reveals just how dumb you are.
wiry pyruvity said:lol, do tell....you know what left-sided heart failure is..and the process...and what the fluid shift does? come on....this is why i don't argue with children
killermeter said:Yes I know what left sided heart failure is, also known as CHF, I deal with it everyday in the ICU how about you? Diuretics such as Furosemide and other loop diuretics are some of the drugs used to treat pulmonary edema. Your serve child
wiry pyruvity said:so tell me then, why my post is stupid, there google....
killermeter said:Saying that diuretics having something to do with pulmonary edema, when in fact they treat it and I certainly don't need google for that
