"The Livestrong lie is the most sickening part of Armstrong's legacy. It was always self promotion - let's not lose sight of the fact that the $millions if not $billions raised promoted cancer awareness not cancer research. Or the fact that among the many dodgy dealings Livestrong leased a private jet owned by another of Armstrong's company's that was solely used by Armstrong and not the charity. But no one could accuse a cancer survivor of cancer who raised millions for cancer of being anything other than a saint could they? " I was appalled at his sanctimony in the press conference when a Telegraph hack asked him a question. It was amazing a halo didn't form round his doped up head. | |||

"Cheating bastardo. But....... He was world champ clean.then everyone doped he dropped off the pace so he either dopes like he did or he could've ranted about the drugs others were on. He wasn't the big figure then had no clout to cause a stink.he would've been ignored. So he dopes, he was still the best of the dopers if u want so he was still the best in a fucked up way. It does take a special type of bell to be as blatant as he was at denying it tho...." Armstrong was no way clean when he won the worlds! There are rumours he was doping as a triathlete while still in his teens! | |||

"Typical Lycra clad drug cheat" An insightful input but I think it's safe to say that of all the things Armstrong was, he certainly wasn't typical | |||

Rarely that i agree, Its against my nature but its refreshing to see someone who is into the same sport and i presume was a bit of an idol to not try and defend in anyway a so called superstars actions.

Gimp" Armstrong's World's win was a brilliant ride as was his stage win in the tour the following year. His first tour win was the stuff of hollywood but even thenm I never warmed to him as a cyclist or as a person. No class, no humility and no real style. I hate what he has done to cycling and the thought of him ending up an outcast from the sports he loves (it's not just cycling, he can no longer run marathons or do triathlon both of which have featured since retirement) and potentially bankrupt is karma at it's sweetest | |||

"Not trying to defend him at all , but there were drug cheats before and after Armstrong, and I hasten to say still are in the peloton,and it's not only cycling didn't a certain Spanish tennis player get mentioned in connection with the doctor Ferrari who was instrumental in us postal service drug program, people always will want to take short cuts to improve its human nature." Yes a certain Spanish tennis player certainly did get mentioned! | |||

I dont think its so much the cheating, As you say its rampant in all high earning sports its the fact that the man cynically attempted to shift the blame from himself without a care for those that had been close and trusted him Gimp | |||

Actually it was Dr Fuentes (not Ferrari) and Operation Puerto that was linked to the Spanish teams that the various other sportsmen including many prominent Spanish tennis Players and footballers were linked to. | |||
