Armstrong is scum and is stil lying and will continue to do so for the rest of his life. She will never get him to be honest, why not move on and forget him?

I am of this opinion, why not move on, but Armstrong will keep telling lies and the Andreu's feel they need to call him out on his lies. Their choice and i respect it. Yep Armstrong is not going to change and will continue with his lies so why bother, but then why let him away with it? Maybe if he loses the Qui Tam case they will let go because Armstrong just might have to get a job and be busy for a while.... :D

Is the rule that betsy can slam lance in all interviews for the next decade but lance can't respond?

I dont think Armstrong gets off becuase he was just another doper in the 'dark era'?

Armstrong manipulated the whole sport for his profit. Frankie was a soldier, Armstrong a Dictator for life in his own eyes.

Trying to compare like for like is crazy sh1te.

Sounds like some are bit disappointed Armstrong got busted. I for am not.

Piling it on Betsy when it is obvious Armstrong never apologised and then made a mockery of her on Oprah, you are doing Armstrong's bidding.

Armstrong ain't just another Jackse, Kohl or Rasmussen who did what was natural in cycling, the guy took it stratospheric levels.

I like Frankie and Betsy's credibilty.

I hope Armstrong gets slammed for the rest of his ife. F#*k him!

as fmk points out, how can betsy possibly expect to criticise lance in many interviews, even as late as last week, and not expect a return - for her to say he should keep his mouth shut or that he's obsessed is a bit much
 
Betsy needs to move on. She is giving him a voice by responding to everything he says. Everybody knows Lance has zero crediblity and nobody cares about him. He can't hurt her any more unless she lets him. His fate is in the hands of the court, leave it at that.

This I agree with. Armstrong was under oath, he was responding to questions.

Chasing him down in the media just gives more fuel to a fire that was beginning to burn out.

She can't, but i think criticising Betsy aids Armstrong and possibly now that people seem to think it is ok to criticise Betsy ads fuel to the narcissist and i for one would not give the guy the steam of my pi.....never mind feed his ego.

I would not poke the pig, i would cut its head off........

And that justifies wilful misrepresentation of what those with legitimate criticism of Betsy's faux shock say?

When you walk a mile in Betsy shoes, feel free to criticise her.

IMO, anything that fuels the Narcissist is wrong. I dont recall Betsy setting out to destroy others. Her issue is with Armstrong. End of.

Does it follow that one should walk a mile in LA's shoes - or Froome's, or Millar's, or whoever - before offering criticism? Or is it one rule for those we'd like to call friends, another for those we call foe?

Betsy and Frankie are the victims here. You dont think that?

I admire Betsy's courage to stand up to Armstrong, the 'cancer jesus' who could do no wrong in the eyes of the majority and worse those who knew he was a fraud, cheater and doper and still perpetuated the myth. I'll cut her a lot of slack before i think to criticise her.

"Hey! You! Don't look at that! Look at this!"

I take your failure to answer the question as confirmation that you do have double standards.

Whether Besty is a victim or not, does that really justify total failure of critical thought? Does that really justify not asking how she can feign shock so effortlessly?

Well put.

I don't really understand the "we are victims" therefore let's not discuss the issue. Whether Frankie doped or not his entire career has nothing to do with being a victim or not. I actually want to know if FA did dope for that long and whether he lied to USADA or USADA concocted those testimonies.

Frankie is a minnow in this. Why show interest in a minnow and ignore the whale?

I disagree that she is feigning 'shock so effortlessly'.

As for double standards, I wanna meet the human that doesn't! Probably a corpse....

As fmk points out - Betsy goes on and on in interviews about lance - as late as last week she was on irish radio slamming him - and let's say she's entitled to for argument sake - for her to turn around later and say lance is obsessed with her, after her slamming him on facebook, and interviews, when he responds to Frankie, is a bit much.

Generally agree. Betsy and Frankie got dragged into this back in the beginning, and they have every right to criticize Lance. However, criticizing him in the press is also just going to keep it stirred up. It would be better to walk away, if that is possible with the court cases still going on. Getting subpoenas is not something they have a choice about. Talking about Lance so often to the press/social media is different.

Agree with both of these posts.

Who are the Andreus if they're not the victims of Lance Armstrong?

Armstrong=bad:.Andreus=good?

Frankie doping throughout the majority of his career sounds about right.

With all the hatred that Armstrong obviously has for the Andreau's and their supposed betrayal, why would he withhold such damning info about Frankie until now? Wouldn't it have been in his best interests to raise this issue about Frankie's "career long doping" much earlier with the purpose of putting his credibility in question?

I don't see how Frankie's credibility is being questioned. Armstrong is just slurring him.

Personally I couldn't give two hoots when Frankie doped.

Don't go throwing logic into the mix.

Clearly Lance, and his 432 lawyers, didn't feel evidence that would raise questions regarding Frankie's credibility, especially something as insignificant and pedestrian as "career-long doping" would be of any use to them at any point during the last 10 years.

I dont do facebook. But Betsy witnessed the hospital room incident in 97 and Armstrong got busted in '12. She had to wait a long time for that. I'll cut her lots of slack for those 15 years.

May she milk it for another 12 years.

A man that studieth revenge, keeps his own wounds green.

Can we all post quotes about revenge?

Confucius — 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.'

Betsy is not out for revenge, imo, she not gonna let the d@uche away with anything. Big difference.
