Is Lance Armstrong guilty of anything more than being awesome?
I was all set to write an article proclaiming Lance Armstrong's guilt, I was gonna use the TO line of reasoning to make the case ("if it looks like a rat. and it smells like a rat, then by golly, it's a rat") but I just watched him hold an informal presser at the Tour of Cailfornia and I have to say he defended himself well and definitely had me thinking that this Floyd Landis could be totally full of shit. It may be easier to side with Lance, he is the all American Golden Boy that was a symbol of just how badass America still was post September 11th. It also helped that his body didn't change in any overtly freakish way. We may never know if Lance ever used PED's, he never failed a test, people may continue to make claims, but the only way we will ever know now is if Lance comes out and admits it. The only person we can be totally sure took PED's without any proof is of course Barry Bonds.

i don't like cycling but it seems many of their participants or dopers.
i can’t remember how many armstrong won(tour de france , force?) but he must have used something. plus he had cancer therapy. i don’t think any human could accomplish what he has. but they do say if you get away with it you get to keep the tophy’s and glory.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood". Hell is just a word, the reality is much much worse." Event Horizon". Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad dog mean. cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live or win. That's just the way it is. "The Outlaw Josey Wales". "And that's just what these hustlers look for. They cruise from casino to casino looking for weak dealers the way lions look for weak antelope".

I'm in denial
Truly, I don’t even care if he used PED’s or not. When it comes down to it, the guy is amazing either way. He’s done a lot for the fight against cancer.
it does matter in a sense. but cycling is about the most boring sport out there.
i would watch cricket before i would watch cycling.
