Compare cycling with Lance Armstrong to cycling without Lance Armstrong. While the sport has existed and will continue to do so, it was very limited and Lance Armstrong exposed the sport to generations who are might decide to compete in it rather than be completely unaware of it.

No it isn't. It's not my primary focus. I doubt it is anyone's primary focus outside of the US. Actually the issue here is that for years Lance Armstrong was accused of cheating and he denied it and the US assertion was that it was European jealousy. So there's much more to it than you say.

Furthermore, I doubt Lance Armstrong did that much for cycling participation. It was always a niche sport that was popular in certain places and it pretty much remains so. Maybe in the US you can go on about it inspiring generations, but then again the high profile nature of his cheating admission has probably tarnished it many more people's eyes.

I still think it being on the front page of the papers with a "black eye" that will fade away in history is better than if it had been on the back page of the sports page instead. The steroid scandals haven't killed baseball's international growth has it?

He made adverts about how he cycled without drugs for Nike, literally selling himself on the basis that he didn't dope. He appeared in the movie Dodgeball, playing himself, to present a man who does the right thing in the face of adversity. He turned himself into a celebrity brand, and now he's getting the celebrity attention, oh no, please don't look at me, I'm just a simple man, I defrauded my sponsors and lied under oath, why are you being so harsh, I brought cycling to the civilised world. I get other people to pay money for charity, just like Jimmy Savile, by lying to them.

I'm not saying he is right, but he is getting hammered while much more vile shithead "celebrities" don't get this kind of reaction. Is Lance Armstrong a shitbag, yes, but at least a lot of positives came out of it. Whether by hook or by crook, good came out of this.

Good for him. He's now waited until he's outside the statute of limitations to be charged with the perjury he commited. 'Hammered' is hardly a term considering he's having a load of articles written about this. He can't exactly claim credit for the 'good'. Livestrong is about cancer 'awareness' anyway. It's cancer ffs, it's hardly an underdog cause. He at least successed in making it into a sellable brand and making it all about him as the new messiah, with a mantra and braclets with his name on to inspire people, just like Jesus. And now he's dying for our sins and cancer

By the same token, no one here gave a shit about the "Tour De France" until Lance Armstrong showed up and made every rider his bitch, winning 7 titles.

And no one gives a shit about it now, post-Armstrong.

Typical American dearth of self-awareness. Baseball means nothing globally, it's a niche. Cricket dwarfs it in popularity via the Indian subcontinent alone. Is that difficult for you to understand?

America not being interested in a sport does not equal no one being interested in it. Mainly the opposite to be honest, since the US is culturally isolated.

I'm not an evil genius like ECG, but I'd imagine it'd be hard to prove since there isn't exactly a bunch of studies on the correlation of blood doping and cancer.

Dude was taking out blood, mixing it up chemicals, and putting it back in.

That I did not know.

Also, Lance really shot himself in the foot today during the 2nd part of the interview. He said he should get a second chance. Why? Because he deserves it.

That just made him look like an asshole. There are better ways to plea your case, even if you do deserve another chance.

Came off like a massive piece of shit in the interview.

The issue isn't just that he cheated. He ruined people's lives for speaking the truth.

Fuck Lance Armstrong.

Nope.

Also having had cancer doesn't mean a person can't be an absolute prick.

Only having 1 nut is pretty good reason to be a prick though. Always feel like you gotta make up for it.

People want it to be true because it makes a good story, that's all.

As I said before Livestrong is an "awareness" charity so, aside from the fact that it's still mostly about brand and image, I was reading the obvious reasons why these things are popular. I've mentioned in the past that plenty of these charities end up with people drawing insane salaries from them, but also Lance could do 'events' to promote the Livestrong foundation and then charge them a speaker's fee for as much money as he wanted.

Yes. I believe it was "Fuck them."

They just wanted a slice of the pie and sued the fuck out him. He fought back. Now, they will get another day in court and pick off the remains like the cowardly vultures they are.

You don't see all MLB players who were clean trying to sue the shit out of Sosa, McGwire, Bonds, Clemens, etc. do you? No because it is fucking stupid.

You defend Lance Armstrong selling himself, commiting fraud, lying and manipulating people for money and then criticise other people because you imagine they only want money.

He cheated, but still made money by riding the fuck out of bicycle. They tried to make money by selling him out. Slight difference.

I don't believe in the concept of "no honor among thieves".

Gore Vidal:

To the fanboys say all he did was take drugs - he didn't just do that, he caused people to lose their jobs, those who criticised him were harassed for years (for example the Andreau's used to receive threatening phone calls from Armstrong fans). Not just for a short while but for over a decade.

While Armstrong and his cronies lined their pockets, others suffered, all for his ego.

James Steele - you quite clearly know nothing of their stories and instead choose to drink the Armstrong kool aid.

Tell me - how have Betsy Andreau or Paul Kimmage, or Christophe Bassons, Pippo Simeoni etc enriched themselves by exposing Armstrong?

Yes there is - and this is why the 'Hospital incident' is so key to the whole story. The doctors asked Armstrong if he had doped before he had had cancer. He listed in the presence of the Andreaus, a rep from Oakley and I believe one other person all the drugs he had taken.

Joe Papp and other dopers have spoken out about the health issues that they have suffered and that they believe were caused by their doping.
