    That Americans cannot accept the facts isn't a win. Neither are all the other wins that weren't

    He certainly didn't if you choose not to see it.

    Why is it necessary to quote Obama? Quote Romney, if you can recall anything he says from one day to the next.

    Dream on. The history books won't record it.

    Oh! Wait a minute. The American history books will.

    You might well be banned for writing that. The mods are probably working overtime and cancelling their weekend plans.

    Share the link.

    Also the rules for they set is that they do not go back over 8 years.... so why this 1999 stuff?

    lol... you just mad because some American guy laid the pipe to some girl you liked and she no longer acknowledged you afterwards.

    Sorry Bro... but it wasn't me... this time. You don't have to blame the whole country.

    Interesting that you're defending a proven cheat. But he's a Murkan cheat, so that's ok, right Bubba?

    Those attacking him keep saying he is a "cheat". Well, please share the evidence so we can make a better and more informed decision.

    So far... no one has. Prove your claims... that is how this works. Then we can all have elevated opinions.

    Go read back through the thread; several positive-tested samples exist. The guy is a cheat and a loser.

    Why has he been stripped of all his titles? These things don't happen lightly-or perhaps it's a liberal plot?

    The French have been pissed for years that they cant even win their own race and have been licking their lips to get at Armstrong for awhile now.

    Of course, that's why the USADA stripped his titles...

    I live half a mile from his home, less than two from the gym.
    I've watched Lance and his crew out training in 108 temps going straight up hills that would kill the average joe.
    Lard ass? yeah ... I don't think so.

    A better athlete?!
    ewww .... that sounds a little desperate.

    and just for the record ... 500+ negative drug tests .... 0 positive drug tests

    What kind of stupid ass sport lets a guy win 7 years in a row, than decides like 6 years later to claim he failed tests.

    2 out of 58 athletes have proven their case against the USADA bureaucrats.

    If 14 years of negative/no positive drug tests at the time of the races (something that others who were stripped of their TdF titles can not claim) don't prove him innocent then there is nothing. As has been said, in days past, many athletes in many fields used steroids.

    Lance was retired ... and still they came after him, with rumors from competitors but no evidence.

    It's a disgrace, and yes, a witch hunt.

    Amazing, huh?

    Someone else asked earlier, who cares ... well ... around these parts, we care. We've invested a ton of tax money for bike routes because his gravitas built an entire industry here.
    Now what? what happens to the next generation of cyclists (many who train right here) and of our investment in that?

    Regardless of what I think of Lance Armstrong or the allegations, I don't support taxpayer funded sports.

    So if those positive test samples existed why did they continue to let him participate?

    It seems like they've had a hard-on for Lance since '96 and that they've kept harassing him for the past 16 years. An angry man would have busted some caps on them by now, like the guy in NYC did to his former boss today.

    I think that they were just trying to bankrupt him by constantly bring charges. He was cleared on them in the past and as soon as he tells them to go F themselves they declare that he's guilty on everything. That's just wrong. They're all going to that lake of fire touted by Jesus.

    Should this thread be moved to the Religion section for analysis?

    Yes, I provided links for both assertions within this thread. They are available for you to peruse.

    As for the 8 years, some of the results are well within 8 years.

    i don't either. I wouldn't want to pay for someone else's sports training and i'd never (never did) ask anyone to fund my kid's dreams and goals. That's not the best reason though. The Fed use our money and act as if they are the benefactor. What strings would they attach. It wouldn't benefit the taxpayer but rather the Feds. I Don't trust them.

    He gave up the fight easily enough. No way would I let them take my medals away if I was innocent. I don't think they can prov that he was clean all those years ago, so its probably best they took his medals away and banned him.
