United States Anti-Doping Agency Details charges against Lance Armstrong

[NYC Rebel]

Something just doesn't add up, I firmly believe he's innocent

Barry Bonds on the other hand....

 

[Carlos Huerta]

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...

clockwork

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.

This isn't nearly as fun though

Cycling about to take a huge black eye and an L

Something like 50% of the Tour de France winners since 1980 have tested positive. It's already a joke.

 

[Turenne]

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..

...you know nothing about the sport of pro-cycling do you?

Way higher than 50 percent.
Only a fool would believe that Indurain was clean.

Lance use to be my man back in the day, I still watch cycling today because of him. But I stopped fukking with him he was bytching toward Contador... Oh wait this the Coli no one give a fukk about cycling.

But be honest how many of you use to rock the Livestrong bands back in the day?

Never had one or any of its technicolour offshoot b*stard children that came after it. I was brought up on the fact that charity begins at home

Like Armstrong, all of Indurain's main rivals got caught (and he destroyed them).
In fact, he failed a dope test in the 1994 Tour but the UCI hushed it up after the Spanish autorities came to his defense, while accusing the French of jealousy.

Cycling has been dirty since forever. The truth only blew up in the 1998 Tour with the Cofidis team scandal.
Even the GOAT cyclist Eddy Merckx got caught repeatedly in the 1960s.
5-times Tour winner Jacques Anquetil admitted to doping throughout his career and even the French president De Gaulle came to his defense, saying "Doping? What doping? Did he or did he not make them play the Marseillaise (national anthem) abroad?"
nikkas were getting caught injecting themselves during races in the lawless 1980s!

Can't lie I had a few, but i rocked them before they got big. You know Coli members always ahead of the trends.

Oh and fukk Wiggins by the way, Baby Schleck coming for the crown next year.

Good catch.
I remember when that entire team was thrown out and Virenque refused to leave the race, then he fled into a relative's house when the peleton rode past it
