I know a person who uses “performance enhancing drugs”, and he is the biggest ******* on the face of the earth. Not saying there’s a connection, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Google “roid rage”.

If there were any non-doping cyclist, he did indeed steal what should rightfully be theirs by his cheating.

Not likely. If he had not cheated and therefore not won, it is much more than likely that the winner would have been another doping cyclist, not a non-doping cyclist.

Lance won because he had enormous native talent and immense drive, plus he was apparently the king of doping.

It is probable he would not have won as much, possibly not at all, without doping, since the competition was mostly cheating, too. But it is also entirely possible that in a clean field he would have won just as much as he did while doping against a dirty field.

The tragedy of this is that we will never know.

Armstrong confessed to using performance enhancing drugs when he won the Tour seven times in an interview broadcast on Thursday, saying he did not think he could win the event without banned substances such as EPO or blood doping.

“Armstrong has destroyed anyone who has been successful in cycling,” LeMond said.

LeMond, a 51-year-old Californian, won the Tour in 1986, 1989 and 1990. He said he won the race without resorting to performance enhancing drugs because of his talent and dubbed Armstrong’s cycling talent only average at best.

If Armstrong had given Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton the same stuff he was taking, he would never have won — they would have beaten him,” LeMond said.

Lance Armstrong is the worst kind of liar.. he stood publicly for years..putting other people’s character in question without batting and eye. And why does he come forward now? because he wants to compete? The worst kind of narcissist there is.

Laurie lowers herself to put a sociopath-ic power addict on the same plane as her alcohol addiction. Armstrongs sins were not that he was “addicted” to these “drugs”, but that he was a lying calculating cheater who would knock anyone down who challenged his web of lies.

Has the possibility of his drug use bringing on the testicle cancer been brought up?

If so, would that mean that the cancer that he garnered all the sympathy for, may have been as a result of his own doing???

Excellent point.

I don't know if it's ever been proven, but speculation is Rush's addition to OxyContin and Hydrocodone lead to his hearing loss.
