Wyatt Earp Posted August 29, 2012 Share First off.I am no pro-Lance groupie.Am I happy for what has happened to him, no.I hate to see tragedy in peoples lives and none of us are immune to it. Am I happy that organizations are pulling out all the stops to camp doping, yes I am.Do I think it will ever stop, NO. Do I think Armstrong is so powerful that he is the Kingpin of doping in all cycling, you all tell me. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/danish-federation-board-member-positive-for-doping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted August 29, 2012 Share Naa, no argument, and Indeed I hear you,..... and actually I dont even have a dog in this fight so for me, its fine, but I really couldn't bring myself to like LA during his rein, although strangely enough I see him as a lot more human now, .... someone I could share a cheeseburger with maybe, before, I dare say I couldn't,.... he was the antithesis of everything I believed in and stood for, I dont wish him ill, I never have, but if someone had to ask me who do I like more as a man, I believe 'Berto towers head and shoulders above LA. Have to agree here Grumps, I do think Berto would be more of a "have a beer with me" kinda guy than Armstrong.It just really grinds me that people aren't satisfied with the outcome thus far, they need to drill the stake even deeper .

RooiWillie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Another Zapiro cartoon http://www.zapiro.co...tt#.UD3zeaBtx8F http://www.zapiro.com/Cartoons/m_120828tt.jpg Interesting to see this one... How about all the conspiracy theory fellas that say Neil was never on the moon? You will always have negativity out there. How you choose to address it, is key. According to me, Lance won, he also inspired me to cycle and to take any challenge head on. USADA can strip him of the titles, but they cannot strip his legacy. That is the part that I choose to remember. Say what you want, I would like to be half the man that he is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertos' command of the engleesh language might be a problem, not only for the beer or burger idea but maybe also a lot of his extra mural non cycling activities are not reported or released in / to the english press. At race interviews you see him jabbering away in spanish but hardly ever in english and then its usualy something generic like "Yes...ghee is strrong, but race ghe is looong so i wait and hope the feeling is good in el mountains..." Euro vs American....Introvert vs Extrovert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that book of Graham Watson's photos of his career. He describes the young Motorola as intimidating on their first meeting. I would like to use the word brash, but Lance is calculated in his aggression to those he encounters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathrix Posted August 30, 2012 Share Phil Liggett speaks frankly to Ballz Visual Radio about Lance Armstrong being stripped of all of his titles. He calls the situation political and a conspiracy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJz4kwm9mXc&list=UUIS9GnMG6uwDISA-P2limwA&index=7&feature=plcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
