So what do you think of Lance Armstrong?

He's innocent until proven guilty.. that's the law.
People for some reason, love to help people asend to great heights.. then knock them off the ladder.
I don't get this , he still WON those races.. no one can take that away, they can take the medals,
but he won those races fair and square at the time they took place.. now years later,
someone wants to de-throne him by word of mouth.
This is my opinion.

Lance Armstrong is a great cancer survivor an amazing cyclist and a wonderful human being.

Are you a cyclist? There does appear to be an issue with many who will take sides on this even when they have considerable knowledge about the sport but I can't see how you can say he won 'fair and square' when the drugs are performance enhancing. How is that fair? Drugs have been used by many in such races but his team mates and those running his team have been accused and have been banned because the evidence appears to be too great to ignore. The fact he didn't test positive (he did apparently in an early race) was because his team found ways around the tests. The 'evidence' should come out in time.

I will wait on the "evidence". So far there is NONE that has come out. Where is this "evidence". Do you have any?? You seem to make a lot of statements but you have shown no proof. The old saying "Put Up or Shut Up" applies.

Couldn't care less. Other than being a collosal waste of cash (and to who's benefit?).

I think you could say that for most sports. If you are not an enthusiast, it does not mean much to you.

The Tour de France is the toughest sports event on earth and has the most on-site spectators (20 million). In view of that, the bikers earn very little money. If they would play football (soccer), they would earn 10 times as much.

Well stated.



The Federal Grand Jury that was presented all evidence in the case returned no indictments for ANYTHING!

All you need for grand jury indictment is enough evidence that maybe a law was broken.

When that failed the USADA pulled his championships.
