lol i had the video link of that sketch all queued up before i saw your post (xpost)

I don't agree either fwiw, but thought it was worth throwing out there for debate. I don't want drug/steroid experimentation becoming a necessary part of winning athletic competitions.

A recent Cycle Sport magazine (from before the USADA evidence was passed to the UCI and the public) referenced that, saying something like "What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my ass six hours a day. That and a cocktail of EPO, cortisone, human growth hormone and testosterone."

oooh you meant on like as in drugs, in that case everything

Lance Armstrong ‏@lancearmstrong
Alive and well in Hawaii.

you know, on the OTHER hand, couldn't he get a good job with the u.s. army? dude made himself one of the strongest fastest humans ever via chemistry. you would think there would be a supersoldier upside to all of this. i could see him training navy seals. it doesn't matter what you feed soldiers, right?

Lance Armstrong will admit to doping during his famed cycling career in an upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, according to USA Today Sports.

looooooooooooooooooool

Buzz Bissinger sucks shit, but better late than never:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/14/buzz-bissinger-i-was-deluded-to-believe-lance-armstrong-when-he-denied-doping.html

i wonder if he's recanted months of calling ppl pussies on twitter who questioned his original stupid newsweek article?

it would be funny if he went back to each person he tweeted one by one and apologized, like a 12 stepper

LOL

"All professional athletes are narcissists;"

*closes article*

Think "We Don't Need Another Hero" should he embedded into the thread at this point

Armstrong "did not come clean in the manner in I expected" according to Oprah.

Let me guess he was pressured into it by some v bad men.

ugh that second 'in' shouldn't be there.

Probably one of these options:

-- I won lots of times without doping.
-- It was part of my cancer treatment, I didn't have any choice.
-- I did it to protect the other guys on the team/my sponsors/whoever.
-- I did way less of it than anyone else.
-- I didn't know what was in there until it was too late.

i hope she presses him on the his pathological need to to absolutely destroy anyone along the way who implicated him in doping. That bothers me more than the actual doping tbh although I can see how one may follow from the other.

I (semi-)joked for years that America might forgive Barry Bonds if he cried in front of Oprah. So I was close.

I have no moral consistency cos I unreservedly love Barry Bonds.

oh me too

I don't give a damn about Lance, cuz multi-day bike race as a huge sporting event, lol

sports, laugh out loud

“I felt he was thorough. He was serious. He certainly prepared himself for this moment. I would say he met the moment. At the end of it, we both were pretty exhausted.”

Insert comment here.

I am not sure that comments were what were inserted there

Forceful interjections.

South Park to thread

Reuters flash: IOC member says cycling could be dropped from Olympics following Armstrong revelations.

I don't know why cyclists all need to race at the same time. Just set up some cameras and have them do the distance whenever they want. This applies to a bunch of other Olympic sports too.

UCI is really cocking this up, some national federations (UK, Italy, NED as of this week) are so far ahead of the UCI on anti-doping. I would be sad but unsurprised if cycling got the boot from the IOC.

McQuaid and Verbruggen Out.

I can understand the love - esp from Americans - but to be honest how can you be blind to his obv drug intake? Sure, it's *legal* but before his cancer treatment (which is epo-like in the rise of red blood cells and thus is a *positive influence*) he was a nobody! Never won a THING and now suddenly he's winning SIX tours?!? It's unfair in my opinion, not fair competition.

fwiw americans were blind to his drug intake because they dont follow or understand cycling

is that a shop? Because that pic rules.

hah its real

what he did to other cyclists is unconscionable, like if barry bonds and roger clemens were beloved by everyone in the press and public but behind the scenes bullied and marginalized clean baseball players into retiring and being persona non grata.

yeah thats unquestionably the worst part, although it wasnt just other cyclists he bullied

Bully Lance is definitely worse than cheater Lance.

a friend read tyler hamiltons autobio and he said theres a story in there of tyler and lance training when a car cuts them off so lance takes a short cut stops in front of the car pulls the driver out and beats him up, just a real mean bastard this guy

mcgwire is still a lovable goofball ever after roiding, even bonds was just kind of a hilarious douchebag (didn't he have some amazing thousand dollar throne recliner seat that took up a big corner of the giants' locker room?), but lance was basically a gangster in yellow spandex and sheryl crow dangling off one of his ropey EPO trackmarked arms.
