Official lance armstrong thread, part 2 (from september 2012)

[DirtyWorks]

USA Cycling is Desperate!

Interesting ommission and rhetoric over at USA Cycling's web site.

The hagiograph here: http://www.usacycling.org/lance-armstrong.htm

The "results" for Wonderboy here still show some results that should have been vacated as they were committed while doping. http://www.usacycling.org/results/?compid=1917

The rules could be my undoing here, but so much about the fact there are still some results posted during the penalty period is no surprise.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

And very well might still be there. I guess we'll find out the next time he posts activity.

Lance Armstrong ‏@lancearmstrong
Alive and well in Hawaii.

The hagiograph here: http://www.usacycling.org/lance-armstrong.htm

which ends:

Lance has an asteroid, 12373 Lancearmstrong, named after him.

surely that name can be vacated too?

 

[Bosco10]

^ That asteroid has an asterisk beside it.

This is something that I am interested in. Is there any information that directly pointed to that he was still on the PED's during those times between his "retirement" and comeback.....marathon running days?

I have not read much of the reasoned decision and do not know if they touch on these facts. I would guess he did juice but I was curious if he focused it for the marathon. I had said his running was horrible even back then, now that it appears or at least some are convinced that he was doping then,,,,,well that makes his performances even more horrible in my opinion.

I don't think there is anything in the reasoned decision document regarding LA using PEDs for running, but it is clear that he had an ongoing relationship with Ferrari after 2005, so it seems possible. I'll look through more of the USADA documents (they have a lot of material on their website regarding LA) to see if I can finding anything else.

I can't imagine he would have been very happy with his running times, as competitive as he was.

It appears he's unaware that half his country is under water and wind but just as long as he's ok... What a d!ck.

lance set to lose key to city of Adelaide

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-10-30/armstrong-stripped-of-keys-to-adelaide/4342566

Laughed when i heard this today, and im still laughing now. Looks like while the City's Lord Mayor wanted him to keep it, the rest of the Councillors weren't that keen.

Pretty sure the general public are a bit angry when it comes to being made suckers of.

Ok, but PR Strategies will likely tout that he is still in first place:

"He is the first person to have the city's highest honour taken from him."

Rumor has it he offered to donate blood on 9/11 but New York hospitals refused. Things haven't been well between them since.

Thanks Pazuzu, interesting to see these questions being raised again - though the user comments are not at all reassuring.

The HuffPost site wouldn't load the article for me due to web problems resulting from superstorm Sandy - but I was able to find the Google cached version: http://tinyurl.com/8ul3geh

I don't think he'll give the keys back without a fight. Should be easier to change the lock.

He'll probably file a lawsuit claiming that they don't have jurisdiction.

If the Fed case is reopened maybe Wonderboy could share a cell with Dad?

Lance already has more wrinkles but his hair isn't as grey IMO.

I rarely watch it, but if it's up to standard of their exposure of the banking cartel's handling of private savings accounts, it promises to be very sharp.
Totally expect the words "cancer" and "betrayed" in the same sentence near the end.
Usually, next day after a popular show airs, it can be downloaded in the usual places. Often within a few hours.

 

[bangnz]

Yeah it should be around.

Season 16 Episode 13 "A Scause for Applause"
Rocked by the recent news of drug use by a beloved icon, the world is left feeling lost and betrayed. The boys, join with the rest of the nation, and remove their yellow wristbands. Everyone is on board, except for Stan, who just can’t seem to cut off his bracelet

Hilarious:

Wall Street Journal: Last-Minute Halloween Ideas for the Kids

"The USPS Cycling Team
How do you hit up the most houses in the shortest amount of time? Don't be naive enough to think a sugar rush is enough. Like disgraced Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and his posse of admitted blood dopers, you need a full entourage if you want to snatch the most candy by any means necessary. Start with a bike, a yellow jersey, a couple of friends in blue to play domestiques, and don't forget your doctor. For the perfect finishing touch, just add pretend blood bags and use red magic marker to achieve that perfect shade of crimson. If anyone asks you what you're on, you can reply with indignation, "I'm on my Radio Flyer, busting my ***.""

Confirmation that Lance has finally raised cycling awareness into mainstream America.

Dave.
