Greg LeMond is so elevated in my eyes from this whole thing it's unbelievable..

Betsy, a complete bada$s...

I agree. I look at them and I wonder/hope that I would have that inner strength. And fear I would come up short.

They are to be admired.

look at this idiotic article

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/lances-shades-of-grey-20130116-2ctoz.html

All sense of proportion has been lost. Lance Armstrong isn't Jimmy Savile. He isn't the subject of a royal commission. In an ethically bereft sport, he was the dirtiest, the hardest and the best.

by his logic, Jimmy Saville isn't Oasama Bin Laden, and Oasama Bin Laden isn't Adolf Hitler, so lets just let them be as a society, because if you aren't the worst offender in history, you deserve a free pass.

Who the **** is Jonathan Horn?

"The platform on which he built all this turns out not to be granite but manure," said Pound.

"As an athlete it is pretty clear he was a rigorous and relentless cheater and that he enforced it on his team.

"He certainly attempted to ruin a whole bunch of people around him, that's a very, very unattractive side of him.

I loved the "Christians need to tighten up the rule on forgiveness" line.

I just watched the Charlie Rose show: OMFG Sally Jenkins.... ugly inside and out. It's OK if you dope if you are my friend, Lance is My friend.

Front page of CNN (US version).

Here is the article.

The reaction so far from articles (see Lupica's article, among others), and the general public is overwhelming disgust with Lance. He's become a national pariah, beyond any other drug cheat in all of sports.

Most sports writers don't like anything without a ball so the zeal is hardly surprising if a sporty worte it. Funny how they go nuts on some cheats and look completely the other way on others.

Al Trautwig goes after him. How long before Kirstin Gum does the same?

Pun intended?

 

[frenchfry]

She is pathetic but you can't go after what she looks like. That's just wrong..

And I will say that I was completely repulsed by that crazy b!tch Giselle Bunchen, or whatever the heck her name, is when she was criticizing Brady's receivers after the Super Bowl. Just STFU...That's almost grounds for divorce in my book...

I allowed myself that because at one point in the interview she mentioned misrepresentation, which she obviously engages in herself.

Then again her words are much more revealing as to her ugliness than her looks.

Sorry, I badly orientate in US time. Has the interview already been shown and if not in how many hours it is going to be broadcasted?

 

[Ferminal]

Eighteen Hours.

L'Equipe

L'Equipe has a reminder about the upcoming Oprah/Lance interview on the front cover of the paper. Upper left corner:
La Nuit du Menteur = The Night of the Liar

9PM in NYC, 2AM in London and 5AM in Minsk.

Some comedian guy who does a regular segment on a local radio station pretty much defended Wonderboy. The angle was not surprising to me though and it was, "What's cycling? It's what the busboys do to get to work! Nobody cares about cycling and didn't know it was a sport until this guy."

Outside of cycling enthusiasts in the U.S., that perspective is all too common. Or, at least it is for me. The amount of indifference to cycling sets up a bias to not really care about Wonderboy's scams.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Stephen A. Smith absolutely excoriated Lance. He said directly "I want this guy to suffer."

 

[Oldman]

Eighteen Hours.

Checking the Oprah network channel number for Comcast last night and found confirmation of the interview's importance to her financial empire: they had a countdown clock in the corner of the broadcasts!

Oh, and btw: Bayerns Pep was popped for nandrolone twice and the corrupt German media gives a flying **** about it. 20+ million for a doper who was "mysteriously" cleared by his own federation. Well, yeah! Natürlich!

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Yea, Sally Jenkins was the journalist that needed apologizing to...the ball on that guy!

Stephen A. Smith absolutely excoriated Lance. He said directly "I want this guy to suffer."

And then later in that same bit said that he is still the best cyclist there ever was.

Rick Reilly having to eat some crow. If he'd done a little more research from the right sources, he might have been able to be more skeptical and save him self some humiliation, but at least he's owning up to the fact that he was wrong this whole time.

9PM in NYC, 2AM in London and 5AM in Minsk.

Thanks guys. Not the best time for me,but it's worth it. Hopefully, it will be a start of big changes.
