He took a long bike ride multiple times OP

[ReducedCarb]

while it is a shame that he most likely was dirty, it's not like the drugs were what made him so good. basically everybody in that sport is on something, so it's a level playing field really.
if he is found guilty of doping I won't think any less of him at all.

[GaiusBaltar]

basically admits he was on the bike

riding bikes while biking and passing drug tests by getting blood transfusions

*According to the Post, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency alleged it collected blood samples from Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were "fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions." The allegations were previously unpublicized, according to the Post.

EPO, or erythropoietin, boosts the number of blood cells*

this. anybody in the top half of the peloton is doping, without question.

This.

Everyone in cycling dopes. At least anyone who has the smallest chance of placing in the top 50 of the TDF dopes. Don't blame individuals; blame the culture as a whole. It's not Lance's fault that everyone else does it and has been doing it since forever, and in order to compete he had to do it. Everyone is guilty (if you believe he is guilty, that is).

haters gonna hate.

Maybe he did high altitutde bike training.

I thought everyone knew about his shenanigans.

He deserves to have his balls removed.

Cheating piece of Horse Manure.

These. If anything he was just leveling the playing field. Plus he was only working with one testicle so he's still at a disadvantage. I couldn't care less if he was on horse gear. He's still a straight up boss in my book.

You don't know that. "I'll do because everyone is doing it" is a weak excuse.

So there is cheating at the Tour De France?

C'mon now op.

[phikappa]

It cost him one nut.


So, he's even.

[RegParkWasNatty]

Yo Armstrong, i heard you liked riding bikes while riding bikes so i made you a bike so that you can ride your bike when you ride your bike.

that is completely untrue. Read his autobigraphy. He was only moderately successful and was in no way an elite cyclist for most of his early career then out of nowhere became a dominating force. That **** doesn't just happen.

All professional athletes are on some type of juice

[ReducedCarb]

That's like saying we don't know that every top bodybuilder takes cell tech.
If you want to be viable in cycling, you have to dope.
While some people respond to drugs better than others, chances are the top guys who do dope would be the top guys if nobody doped.

[GaiusBaltar]

yeah but you have to agree there are more sophisticated bikes. Everybody didnt have the same stuff so hard to say he is a champ

[mynameisuntz]

No, I do. Everyone who cycles does. I assume you don't watch cycling or are new to it, but I used to pretend it wasn't the case that you had to use PEDs to rank, but you do.

It's the sad truth. And all I'm saying is if you are going to condemn Lance, then you should be condemning the sport as a whole even more so and the lack of credibility in its testing.

Exactly this. Every single IFBB uses steroids. It's just an absolute and there's no denying it. Cycling is really no different.

I'm not going to argue that because I haven't read his autobiography so I'm not going to try to pretend that I know everything about him.
Just out of curiosity, however, when did he have cancer in relation to his career?
