Guest Peeves Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 If not for the drugs use, at least for the lying. Any athlete caught cheating should be prosecuted if a law is broken. I think back to the times wasted watching crooked races and shake my head. Quote
BC_chick Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I don't like the man personally nor do I believe in performance-enhancing drugs, but it's a little naive to think you're not watching crooked races now. That's probably the reason he won't apologise. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine."

Michael Hardner Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, but "Wonderful World" is such a classic... plus when he sang with Ella Fitzgerald it was just sublime. I can't stay mad at him. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

Boges Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 He'd have to admit he did drugs first. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford thinks Lance Armstrong is stubborn. Quote
segnosaur Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 What does all this do with being the first guy to walk on the moon? Quote
Topaz Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 This does make one think about the two other guys in swimmming. Mark Spitz (sp)? in the 70's and this last guy for the US. There was also a female black runner that was accused of drugging from the 1980's and ended up dying of heart problems. My view, theses races and Olympics are a farce, there are always cheaters.

guyser Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I am guessing Lance believes his own copy. He has been lauded, Crowned, worhsipped for so long that he doesnt think his s##t dont smell. And that makes it worse. His lying I can understand prior to the last losing round he endured, but now that the cat is out he continues on and now labeled a scumbag. What I dont get is the folks who lionized him continue to try by invoking the Livestrong foundation.Yes it has done good deeds, but the money raised in that foundation came as a result of his success on the TdF circuit , so in essence the whole thing, Lance and his foundation are frauds. I honestly hope the TdF goes after him for the $7M. Quote
wyly Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) If not for the drugs use, at least for the lying. Any athlete caught cheating should be prosecuted if a law is broken. why? how does hurt us? sports in the greater picture is irrelevant, it just doesn't matter ...I don't care whether he apoplogizes or not, .my feelings aren't hurt it's only cycling what does it matter... I think back to the times wasted watching crooked races and shake my head.I enjoyed the races for the scenic helicopter shots of the french countryside more than the cycling...so I'm good, I don't care who won or lost or cheated...

Guest Peeves Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I was watching a family cross the road in front of my car the other day. they had cut across a parking lot to the street from a fast food place. The dad was unwrapping some item then tossed the wrapper, a sizable hunk, onto the ground. The kid, a boy of perhaps 7-8 was aware and looked up.His dad and mom ignored him, and me. Point being, an athlete in the news, a winner sets an example like it or not, just as a mom or dad do. So, those with feet of clay, cheaters as examples endorse the violation of laws, rules or litterers. Quote
BubberMiley Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 It was obvious he was doing drugs from the start. How else could he stretch his limbs to such impossible lengths? Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
bleeding heart Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 If Armstrong owes anyone an apology, it's the people he sued for telling the truth about his behaviour.

Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver." --Bill Graham, Former Canadian Foreign Minister, 2007
Bonam Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 If not for the drugs use, at least for the lying. Any athlete caught cheating should be prosecuted if a law is broken. I think back to the times wasted watching crooked races and shake my head. Armstrong should certainly be prosecuted for cheating. But owing you an apology? Who are you, exactly? No, no one owes you an apology. Why do you think you are entitled to one? Quote
cybercoma Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Who cares? The guy rode his bike for fun and got paid doing it. Worrying about this crap is stupid, imo. Quote
bleeding heart Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I don't know if you're wrong, or offering a sane voice of perspective on an overblown issue. I like you, so I'm going with the latter...... Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington. All we had was Afghanistan to wave.
