Reading Hamilton's book the overarching impression I have of Amstrong is of this ridiculous machiavellian type character. Ever suspicious and always plotting his next move.

True enough. But what's so unique about Armstrong is that, unlike Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens - who the public knew were a$$holes, Armstrong was able to hoodwink a large proportion of the population into believing he was this noble person. When nothing could be further from the truth.mewmewmew13 said:He is a creepy psycho. Why do you think he always looks like that in photos....they show his real snarling and sneering.

Scary how gullible some folks are.

The cool aid drinkers fall into the first group, the general population prior to the USADA report fall into group 2 and 3

The wisdom of George W. Bush (or more likely one of his political advisors).
Armstrong still has people out there defending him, still clinging to any reason to keep the faith. It would be sad if it were not so funny.

read it free until 5:00The Armstrong scandal ended in vindication for the journalist who first cried ‘cheat’. He reveals that the memory of his son, who died cycling, helped him

Unless it arrives in the form of a down-and-out Floyd Landis, and you refuse to lend him a hand.ChrisE said:Doubtful karma usually catches up, though.

It really reinforces what a sociopath Armstrong is.
I really hope Armstrong ends up where he started.
Edit: Imagine if Armstrong entered into Politics. The people of the USA should be glad that the likes of Walsh, Betsy and others never wavered in their pusuit of the truth!

It's amazing how almost the entire cycling community bowed to the arrogance and dirty tactics of the Armstrong machine, starting as early as 1999.

When do we see a blanket ban of all former teammates?

It's his system that plugged into Pat and Hein's schemes.
