Wet Ears Posted October 22, 2012 Share I'm all for the fluffy lions (and prize money) being claimed back if they apply the same to Levi, Tyler, Millar, Floyed, Big George etc etc etc etc. For those Lance fans who bought his bogus autobiography - claim your cash back!

In the lead role........tadaaaaaa !!!!And on a road bike nogal! TADAAAAAA!!!!!! Now for the rest of the cast.

Garfield2010 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Why should the real kingpin be spared ? I mean Lance will spare them as they didnt "rat" him out. Or at least George held up until he didnt have any other choice...

DaLoCo Posted October 22, 2012 Share THe real hero here is actually Tyler Hamilton. His book is a tell it as it is to the normal guy on the street. This way we mortals can understand the real story and not be required to read through a 1,000 pages of technicalities. Tyler Hamilton is a doper, not a hero....and by his own admission, Armstrong's b*tch Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/117304-lance-armstrong-banned-and-stripped-of-tdf-titles/page/176/#findComment-1822876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield2010 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Tyler Hamilton is a doper, not a hero....and by his own admission, Armstrong's b*tch Well at least he admits it... and he also doesnt spare himself in his book. It takes a real man to do that. He was brutally honest. So who do you respect/despise more? Tyler the rat or Lance the defiant cheat?

Cool, I get it now, but I think L.A. will be very schtum, but hopefully this fiasco will get Bruyneel ratted out.

It takes a real man to do that. He was brutally honest. So who do you respect/despise more? Tyler the rat or Lance the defiant cheat?IMO Tyler is hardly a hero - he has profiteered from this mess AFTER being bust. In his defence he hasn't pretended to be hero though even if everything he has done has been self-serving. He has also admitted that had he not been found out would would also have likely continued to deny... Which means he is both a doper AND a defiant cheat - just like prime evil himself. See link... http://www.news.com....0-1226497727051 Speaking on Melbourne radio, Hamilton admitted he may likely have been "prepared to go to the grave" with his own secrets before being caught However once sprung, he knew he had to plough on and has urged Armstrong to do the same, suggesting it will lead to a happier life. "I just feel for his situation," Hamilton told SEN on Wednesday morning."It's got to be hard. He's got to be a broken soul right now."It's never too late to tell the truth. There's going to be consequences."There's probably a lot of money at stake if he tells the truth, but I guarantee he's going to lead a much happier second half of his life if he comes out and comes clean." He also shows some empathy for Arstrong in between profiting from all this. I guess this may be because he knows that he, Lance and much of the Peleton are really all the same at the end of the day. lance was simply the most successful cheat of the lot and for that he will pay the biggest price.

Joe Low Posted October 22, 2012 Share Gag taken from twitter: Of course Lance Armstrong's dumbest move was him not taking up javellin throwing. Its like a guy called "Legs Pedalwell" not becoming a cyclist".

gummibear Posted October 22, 2012 Share So it's safe to say that cycling is rife with dopers, snitches, dodgy doctors and inept/corrupt officiation? Dope is in all sports but just don't make headlines like cycling does.

HappyMartin Posted October 22, 2012 Share Hamilton is certainly no hero. I think a number of people have said that on this thread. He certainly doesn't portray himself as one in the book. He comes across as someone trying to come clean but still not fully accepting blame and responsibility. My impression is he told the ruth as he understands it but he certainly comes out a little dodgy Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/117304-lance-armstrong-banned-and-stripped-of-tdf-titles/page/176/#findComment-1822970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja but at least the other riders didnt go to UCI complaining about Lance doping whilst doing the 7 tours? Lance did everything possible to win. He basically ratted Tyler out first so screw him. Tyler has all the rights to rat "back" at him...... And say what you want, Tyler coming out with the truth is what we needed. I personally think that it makes the difference in this whole saga as now everybody knows without having to read a technical document. Now if only Tyler donates all profits made from his book to some charity then it will really have a happy ending............ How many books did Lance and co sell that was a lie??? At least Tyler sells the truth.
