You should think about what you just wrote. Tyler Hamilton “denied” that Lance used drugs. Then, under pressure of the investigation, and while apparently doping himself (he did get a positive drug test from the olympics), he changed his story, and says Lance used drugs.

And you believe his current, proven drug-user statement, rather than his prior statement.

How do you know which time he was lying? Why do you think he was lying before he was under pressure to change his testimony and they had something to hold over him to force that change, but was telling the truth AFTER he was forced to change his story?

As to your second point, it’s a quasi-government agency. They are ALWAYS going after the life’s work of people who are successful, when it suits their purpose, and without any evidence at all.

“I KNOW Lance Armstrong! I’ve ridden alongside of him in the peloton! I can tell you with 100% certainty, he’s a cheater. “

Put up or shut up you lying assed liberal coward!

Apparently, there is one thing that Lance Armstrong is number one at. He’s much better than all the other cyclists at doping without having it show up in his hundreds of blood tests.

Maybe all the other bikers are just idiots, and that’s why they get positive drug tests, while Lance does not. And Lance apparently has the only doctor capable of doping a biker without it showing up in drug tests.

At least they aren’t arguing that Lance slipped under the radar because nobody ever suspected him. There are probably lots of bikers who don’t ever get tested. But Lance was tested constantly.

BTW, he certainly could have used drugs, at some level. Maybe he used drugs that were legal and therefore didn’t show up. Maybe he used illegal drugs but in such low doses that it wasn’t detectable — but then you have to wonder why that would help him, but others would use more drugs and get caught.

But what is clear is that, by the RULES of the sport, he is innocent. The rules say “fail a drug test, you are guilty”. He passed the drug tests. The rules don’t say “Get 10 people mad enough at you to claim they saw you use drugs, and you are guilty of it”.

BTW, all those saying “10 people would never lie about anything”, how do they explain how dozens of democrats lie about our republican stars like Sarah Palin all the time? By their rules, Sarah Palin must be guilty of everything she has been smeared with, because so many people have said it.

It would be funny, and sad, if Lance simply humored these other drug-users when he talked with them, because they made him uncomfortable, and also he didn’t want to make them feel worse that they were drugged up and he wasn’t and they still couldn’t come close to beating him.

You know, Lance could have told ever one of them that he used drugs, and it wouldn’t prove a thing — he could have just been joking with them.

I also wondered, would a bunch of riders in a peloton actually chat about their drug use during a race? That doesn’t make much sense.

This is about Obama’s liberal Homosexual agenda. Obama appointed the homosexual Travis Tygart as the “CEO”, read: one of those unconstitutional and illegal Czar’s, of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, whatever the Hell that is. Lance was rumored to be a homosexual and the liberals went nuts for it. Lance denied it and there is no evidence that he is a homosexual. Once Lance was no longer going to be the homosexual poster boy, Tygart went after him and hasn’t let up.

Addressing JB's claim that he rode in a peloton with LA, mountain bike races don't have pelotons, there is a starting line pack until the starting gun then all hell breaks loose........he's a liar and he knows it that's why he's gone silent.

But to address your statement, no silly, they don't chat during the race. They all meet in a bar at the end of the day long race, pound down beers and hit on the goupies in the bar. All the while talking about the most successful methods of doping........I thought everyone knew that? :)

Regardless of Hamilton’s book, there is NO EVIDENCE

You certainly have perseverance.

Arguing with me won’t change Armstrong’s fate.

Thanks! I was starting to think that everyone on this thread just didn't appreciate good humor... or don't know who Floyd is.

I agree that Tygart has had a vendetta against Lance for some time but I don’t agree that it was b/c of his sexual orientation. Lance has been solidly heterosexual from the beginning. There was never any question. He has 5 kids.

Many homosexuals have had marriages and children. When the rumors started that Lace might be homo the left-wingers went nuts. They celebrated and held him as their guy. When he denounced the rumors they turned on him. Liberals are vicious, mean-spirited, and hate-filled.

I don’t disagree with your statements about gays having kids or about the viciousness of lefties. I have followed Lance Armstrong for a long time, though- 15 years- and have never heard anything about him being gay. Not saying it wasn’t out there, just never heard a peep about it.

What annoys me is how those richardheads are running around saying they have “stripped” Armstrong of his 7 TdF titles. Only UCI can do that, and I don’t see it happening without a full confession, it would be the worst black eye pro cycling ever got.

FUSADA, eat my shorts. The ones I wore at the Hotter’n Hell Hundred yesterday.

He’s a cheater and a fraud.

He did leave his wife and 3 kids for a superstar woman.
