I'm in agreement that prohibition as it currently exists is silly.

My reference was intended to point out that:

1) Armstrong isn't the saint he paints himself to be; and

2) More importantly, the line between PED use and recreational drug is is fuzzy. So fuzzy, in fact, that there is often a relationship between recreational drug abuse and PED use.

Not saying Armstrong will pull a Pantani and die with his face in a few ounces of blow.

Someone should tell LeMond this..... Just saying... I know you are reading this Mr LeMond. What is your take on illegal recreational drugs? Remember the party in SoCal years ago? Tell us what you think about using illegal drugs?

Why? Because his star athelete is sucking wind right now... what 'success' coattail could he possibly be riding?

The decision to market a product is usually made in advance of the event. You're correct on the level of success he would achieve, though. It's time for Carmichael to fade away.

What does recreational drug use have to do with using PEDs to gain an advantage over one's competition?

Strawman much, goober?

Or, you could tell us what drugs you saw LeMond take. We all enjoy gossip here.

Poor little goober, it is amazing how fanboys cannot accept that they idolised a false god.....getting pretty sad now for them.

I cannot answer that question as it was not my opinion but the persons opinion I was responding to. I was only saying if there was some relationship between the two then maybe LeMond should be asked.

Which question....whether you toss out strawmen or not or whether GL knows the relationship between PED use and rec drugs? I think the first is a definite, the latter BS but I digress.

GL had nothing to do with the side conversation about rec drug use. You brought him into it to divert the discussion by slamming GL and yes, to "troll" for a reaction.

PS, I don't mean to be following you around the forum but you are saying some stupid shyt today.

My sources tell me that a startling revelation will soon be heard. Jeff Spicoli will come forward to tell of his illegal drug use with Greg Lemond at "that party in SoCal". Word is that his $100,000 reward from LA will be spent on getting Van Halen to play at his birthday party. When asked for comment Lemond replied sheepishly: "Who could resist the lure of a cool buzz and some tasty waves? I'm so ashamed."

What is the purpose of this response? FYI, I am an Athiest so I have no god. As for a fanboy, that is also another misunderstanding on your part. I would speculate that when you hit the send button you got an artifical high - whatever makes you feel better.

I do not agree it is stupid - will agree it could be classified as trolling and I will stop. I feel strongly (let me say very strongly) GL needs to testify under oath whether he used banned substances during his active career. I will leave it at that and stop trolling that thought.

i feel fine. thanks gooby. If you aint an LA fanboy, which you are, why are you hating Lemond all of a sudden when your hero spouts lies about him? Here you are trying to give creedence to those lies and failing miserably.

I don't hate LeMond - hate is not meant for humans. And again, Lance is not my hero. I would actually speculate (just speculation) you probably bought one of those yellow wrist bands and would never admit it now :) (no, I never bought one as my donations go to St. Jude's). I am not trying to give creedence to anything Lance said.

OK, whether GL used PEDs I think is a fair question. You should do a search...I think there was an interesting thread on this subject awhile back that I remember reading.

But, you implied he used rec drugs at a party, which is irrelevant. That was trolling.

I agree and will not imply anyone used anything anymore.

Lance was NOT an owner early in his Postal days - he was "just a rider".

Lance WAS an owner in the Disco Days and late Postal days.

There is no inconsistency there.
Both true statements.

Lance was NOT a good climber or a great time triallist or a future T.D.F winner in his early Postal days!
Lance WAS all of the above in the latter Postal and Disco Days!
There is no inconsistency there.
Both true statements!
