Lance Armstrong is a God

haha

the thing with EPO was always overdoing it and thickening the blood to the point that riders were riding rollers in their hotel rooms at night to avoid a heart attack. but blood levels revert to normal in due course after you stop taking it. i'm no expert in blood so i don't know if that could cause long-term stress on the system - we'll get our answer if '90s-00s riders start dropping like flies within a short period of each other.

can imagine the use of growth hormones and steroids would increase future cancer risk due to over-working those areas over a long period, though. cortisone certainly has had nasty effects on footballers and the like who have trouble walking after having too many painkilling shots over their careers.

CNN Opinion:

It's Time to Allow Doping in Sport

Agree?

(xp) No.

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.

New board description.

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.
