Good link jimmypop.

Perfect description of a delusional Miracle Boy.

The article is about lying. My next post will present examples of his lying.

interesting parallel with LA...

Recently, in Germany, we saw another brilliant example of somebody reaching the highest ranks while living a big lie. The German minister of Defense, Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg was found guilty of massive plagiarism.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2056525,00.html

Here too, however, the subject seemed to be both unwilling and uncapable of admitting to his own lying and cheating.

At first, Mr. Guttenberg dismissed the allegations that he had lifted other scholars’ texts as “fanciful.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/world/europe/02germany.html

Sadly for him, though, some website had put his dissertation online and started digging for plagiarism. The results of one week digging? More than 75% of his doctoral's thesis appeared to be copied and pasted from other works.

He had to resign, but the remarkable thing I took from his declarations is that he really was uncapable of seeing his own act as an act of cheating, and continued to claim he hadn't done any conscious copy&pasting...
ah, and also, he continuously sought to blame others for his downfall, although it was really he himself who had done the copy&pasting.

btw. Before this came out, zu Guttenberg was set to become the new German Chancellor.

p.s. mods, feel free to delete and erase this post. not really cycling-related.

No. He will announce his return 3.0 because he noticed Radioshack had slipped to 8th place in the all important Team Classification at Paris-Nice. I'm sure if Lance was there they'd be motivated to make the Team podium.

I thought he was already there. Sherwen and Roll mention his name at least a dozen times during each stage. Must be a contractual thing. LA and Michelob Ultra...

It would seem early to announce a new main sponsor. They've only just changed the kit.

Guild the lily or lying?

Do you have any Therapeutic Use Exemptions?
No. Never have.

Never? What about the cortisone?
Well, obviously there was the cortisone.

Would you open up your health book?
In the year 2001, there were two riders without any notes in their health books – me and Erik Dekker.


You made a gift to the UCI back in the early 2000s to buy anti-doping equipment. How much was it?
Er…Well, I can get you an exact number. Around 25,000 dollars. This was a long time ago.

source http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/345599/lance-armstrong-exclusive-interview.html


Armstrong told Cycling Weekly that the payment made in 2005, before he retired, was around $25,000. McQuaid admitted on Irish radio on Thursday that it was in fact $100,000

Asked on Thursday if he had ever paid the UCI any money, Armstrong said: "Absolutely not."

in the end he decided to call it quits after the Tour Down Under. Armstrong had arrived in Adelaide looking out of shape and eventually left the sport with nothing more than a whimper.
With the FDA investigation reportedly meeting with more cooperation than resistance Armstrong appeared to have lost his fight. His attempts to discredit Novitzky - his only tactic when it comes to his ‘enemies' - looked ever more desperate, and his decision to come back to the sport ever more misguided

Curious that eh? Seems like the ending of most athletes. We had a NFL hall of famer who owned the liquor store by my house. When I spoke to him I was awed and saddened, an all star owning the local store.
