Lance Armstrong... cheater

Fact: LeBron could be the greatest cyclist of all time if he wanted to be.

The last time I remember anyone caring about lance armstrong was when those stupid rubber armbands were a fad, which was 2004

Are you insinuating LeBron dopes?

No, when Tebow was A Thing there was a flurry of snarky FB graphics noting that Armstrong was an atheist and more successful as an athlete. Therefore God didn't exist, or something. That was, what, a year ago?

Lance Armstrong didn't have help from God to win, he had help from Science.

maybe they should start a cheater's league so Lance can compete again

[Tupac Shakur]

A cheater's league in cycling would attract much better competitors than a non-cheater's league.

[Alexander's Horse]

exactly

It's not really the cheating, it's how horrendous a person he is. Just a nasty, spiteful bully. Despicable person all round really.

[Alexander's Horse]

we could get some freak show cycle action going, if they all took drugs without restraint maybe there would be mutation

and I agree - Armstrong is a despicable person, the worst part is he doesn't seem to know it, his interview was all about how it affected him and his family

thought this already existed and it's called the "Tour de France."

Let's see about that in 5 years ey ?

BTW, putting a sheep in front of a welsh cyclist would that be doping ? Or only rated 18+ ?

[The Mad Monk]

So an Australian library moved all the Lance Armstrong books to the FICTION wing...

That's simply not true. No athlete has ever been destroyed for being a horrendous person, as the success of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Ben Ainslie*, etc. attest to.

Spoiler:

* While Ainslie is obviously a bit **** when compared to American megastars, I wanted to be inclusive toward Poly's international audience and he was the only British sportsman I could think of who 1) has the same hyper competitive personality as Armstrong and the others and 2) is actually dominant in his sport.
