=v= I think it’s an insult that this guy dressed up like Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown might be a loser, but this guy is a much, much, much bigger loser.

Scott 90, let me clear the record here-I never said I was “defending” anyone. I simply stated that no one has produced proof of doping sufficient to get Lance banned. Them’s the facts.

Nor am I a racer. I’m just a Clydesdale pushing 60 with a job and a family, but when I get on a bike I remember how to be a kid again. Helps to preserve what frayed and tattered shreds of sanity I have left. Does wonders for my health, too, if I remember to ride enough. Nah, I have no skin in this game. I just like bikes.

And facts. Facts are cool too.

I have seen 2 Strong healthy, phisically gifted prople taken by cancer.

I love cycling and watchig lance in July was some of the most memorable sporting moments I can recall. The Look, Jans crash. Lance going single track; giving Pantani the win etc….Now his comeback and Cancer quest…profound

That said the one thing I can’t grasp is the cancer recovery. I knoe first hand what the disease does to the body and what the treatment does. It kills you cell by cell, then when the cancer is gone you have to recover and the body can not recover with 3 square meals alone. Getting a body back to a world elite level in a soecific sport is another thing altogether. It takes a strong will and gifted body and a whole lot of other stuff added in the mix. The things they injected my stepmom with to get her back on her feet were a constant coctail of shit I can pronounce to this day and a lot of it is illegal in major sports.

I don’t care but I just don’t think losing 7 pounds of mass from kemo a big heart and off the chart VO2, gatorade and some Gu puts you over the alps all by itself. maybe it was I don’t know

Someone mentioned Bonds, Clemens and ARod earlier and the comparison I mke here is this. Those 3 had the numbers before the drugs. I am not sure Lance did have the numbers before 99. He had stage wins and single day wins. but nothing close to grand tour finish let alone podium

I don’t think Lance doped. Most likely it was the Trek Madone that made him so fast. Oh, yeah, and CTS.

and on the flipside, we have Frankie VDB…

from cyclingnews:

Vandenbroucke, who will ride this season for the Belgian-Australian Continental team Fuga-Down Under, regretted never having “had the chance to be a pioneer, to try out new doping products first.” He said that if he had had the chance, he “would have done it without doubt. …. Everyone would have seized that chance. Nobody should be hypocritical about that!”

And probably tried to charge it to Boonen

#104: dear lol – omg, that is a great great point. next time i see someone that got shot in the face with a .45, instead of saying, “mayn, you are a stupid ass for getting shot in a face with a .45! especially your own face!,” i won’t say that. i will instead say “shut up, shankhawk! you haben’ts been shot with a .45 in the face so shut up! you don’t know about that!”

LA and all the other cyclists are amazing athletes. If I was spending as much time in the saddle as these guys are — I would be plastered with fentanyl patches and a morphine drip. I think people can start criticizing the athletes once they have been in that position themselves. Doped or not — it is still an amazing feat to finish these races — let alone in the shortest amount of time.

It all depends on how you view something. If you’re a LA fan then you’ll watch this video and just think about how amazing a rider he once was. If you doubt how clean he really rode then this video will speak volumes about how dirty he really was…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXPXHK7I1iQ&feature=PlayList&p=82CBEE3CDC2D917A&playnext=1&index=13
