nah, it's because it's about cycling. no one cares enough.

:childplease:

Not caring means they wouldn't respond.

They care enough to back him up LOUDLY.

They care enough to add millions to the Livestrong foundation AFTER he was stripped of his wins.

:heh:

Stop using that bs excuse.

It's white privilege.

I wonder if these demonic CACs will pillory Armstrong like they did and STILL DO to Barry Bonds.

But since Armstrong is a fellow CAC im sure the scrutiny wont be as scathing...:beli:

What killed me is some people I know that were saying how the government needs to just give it up and leave Lance alone but had absolutely no problem with the way they went after Bonds for years even after he finished playing.

Cycling about to take a huge black eye and an L

Maybe US Cycling but World Cycling not really it aint like this is a Ground breaking discovery that someone was cheating to win. Brehs been cheatin in Cycling since the 1914-1918 Conflict with Germany. The late 90's scandal was more of a shyt storm than this tbh. The French media been tryin to get Armstrong since 01-02

The only issue the UCI are gunna have is who they award the 7 titles too, considering the people who finished 2nd and 3rd in alot of cases have been failed drug tests aswell.

While race definitely had something to do w/how Bonds was/is perceived, him being an a$$hole also plays a large part. While guys like McGwire and Giambi weren't vilified like Bonds nobody really defends them either. And nobody talks about Sammy Sosa at all. If you think about it, the only guy as "persecuted" as Barry is Clemens and the one thing they have in common is both were notoriously unlikable.

From what I've read Armstrong actually falls into the Barry/Clemens camp as far as being an unlikable/arrogant jerk, but I think the media hid that for years in favor of his inspirational story which did help, "inspire" millions, so people definitely have a different affinity for him that goes beyond his athletic achievements, unlike Bonds, McGwire, Clemens etc. who were "just" ballplayers.

White privilege doesn't exist because the people you live around has never mentioned Lance Armstrong?

:heh:

I'm not extreme enough to think that something exists if 100% are talking about something. Why are you?

ok

How did Lance Armstrong cheat all those tests?

Nothing wrong with a good vendetta. Especially if Armstrong is the target.

My (slightly tearful) reaction to the Armstrong news

Ashenden is not a god, but he has come close than anybody (at least for me) in convincing me that LA doped.

overwhelmingly those topics are "LA doped and it sucks."

On the first page of topics there are TWO Armstrong threads ON A CYCLING WEBSITE

Professional Cycling For the Fans

Again no one cares because it's cycling.

And I can pull up evidence pointing out my beliefs.

Exactly what does that prove?

How do you discount the increase in funding to LiveStrong after he was stripped?

I can point to dollars.....in the millions.

Do people give money to folks they don't care about?.......in the millions?.....following them being stripped for cheating?

That's how the world works?

Look..I dont condone his disgusting cheating ways or him acting like a little biitch denying these claims..but why they didnt stop him in 99?
They let dude bring in a lot of fans who didnt even fukk with the sport..but once he retired they brought the wolves out to take his whole empire down..because they dont need him anymore.

Shady shiit and very lame..

he brought money to Cycling by opening up the American market. Cycling has known about dude cheating for years. The French been writing articles about his cheating ways.

Its only America and the Cycling Union that ignored it. America because we dont care about drug users and he has a great story, and the Cycling Union because of all the money being brought in to the sport from Americans.
