"Some friendly advice for the greatest cyclist in the history of the world".

by Michael Hall

I just came across this article from Texas Monthly:

texasmonthly.com by Michael Hall.

You must register with the site in-order to read the article in it's entirety, but I liked the way the author went about connecting some dots...

A very straight forward article. Though it's neutered of the anecdotes and personal stories of how he personally treated many people so badly.
thanks

That was a great read, I wonder if Lance will Read that himself?

There is some good advice for Lord Armstrong in that article.

Man, that's a great article. The best ever about Pharmastrong !!! I'm sorry, about Armstrong I mean !!!

But as Armstrong said, he will always deny it. Even if he goes to jail, he will always deny it. He's a Machavellian *other****er: the means don't matter, just the end-goal.

Micheal Hall and the haters on this forum are quite clueless about pro-cycling.

He is right and wrong in the article. The bottom line is life and procycling are not fair. Hard to say and hard to accept but true irregardless.

To me the firemen who dashed into the flaming world trade center to rescue the victims of 911 are heroes. Pro cyclists and pro athletes are comic book heroes doped to the gills or clean and sober.

Time for the fan-boys and drug crusaders to get a job and a life. Mike Hall is a crybaby. Real heroes are doctors, firemen and cops and soldiers those who save lives. + school teachers who inspire children to greater heigths

Actually, that quote is taken out of context. That quote was associated with the allegation that he made his teammates dope. Not defending the guy, just correcting the record. Journalism today is in a state of disarray.

Not a word. Fanboydom is in a state of disarray these days, nothing has changed there.

Thanks alot.

I'm always hesitant to sign into things like this. Once I ordered some stuff from Victoria's Secret and now I get spammed with ads for panties and bras.

You got a link for that?

Hello, I'm computerly challenged and can't seem to access the second page of the article (without registering, I mean). Could someone post a direct link? Thanks in advance.

Take a look at #4 or put the title in google news search.

Their registration does not check the validity of the email address (or any other data) you enter. You get to read the article immediately after entering bogus info about yourself. So no privacy concerns here.

Bogus registration worked fine. Thank you!

Although to be honest page 2 was a bit of a let down.
