He says he's racing. Who knows if he has sponsor commitments to race their gear at X number of races. Plus, he's already committed, i dont know if dropping out affects entry to future rev 3 races as a pro either. Plus this race counts towards the Rev3 championship which he's currently leading. a lot of money for a pro. The fact that he's a Rev3 athlete and he still feels comfortable speaking out about this says a lot to me.

As for me, one of the folks who donated said "I dont care where you finish, just finish, and be the cleanest racer there. That's the way to do the right thing.". Of course he knows me, and as of 2 weeks before a race I wont take anything beyond Aleve to make sure I dont have anything even accidentally in my system. I dont know if I feel 100% ok with his take, but it isnt just my money involved here.

Money talks over anything else.

Coyle researched everything. read the book. theres tons of corroboration from other riders and people.

Not talking about the drug part, im talking about him "being a dick". You could get a bunch of people to say he was, and a bunch of riders who will say he wasn't. There are still riders that speak out in support of him, so if he was such a dick why would they continue to do so.

Because they are still racing, and Lance can still break their careers if he wants to.

Did you hear his 'great pal' George H. coming over to talk about what a great guy Lance is?

Name 3.

Sadly thats all too easy, because they sound like theyre speaking out in support of lance but what theyre really saying is theyre tired of hearing about doping when a lot of them are doing whatever they can to clean things up and want the focus returned to now. Read Talansky's reponses lately on lance, that got deleted when his DS talked to him. A lot of them dont want their careers ruined, while others like Wiggins, are just idiots when speaking to the press. Ok, wiggins is an idiot in general, but it doesnt mean hes not a talented bike race.

In support of him? Johan Bruyneel , ex dopers like Cantador have, and how bout Eddie Merckx. His opinion should mean something

As far as him being a dick or not thats a bunch of personal opinions and I have no idea, and neither do you

Go Lance!!!

Most often, that's true. But it's also a point that's easy to make when it's not your money.

Wait, so Eddie Merckx who he himself has been busted for doping 3 times, yeah of course he supports him, he helped develop him.

As for being a dick, plenty of people who count or counted him as a friend say hes a dick.

He's an elite athlete, who just finished competing in a long grueling bike race and was being hounded by those people.

There was nothing wrong with his actions. The guy is human. Dam you expect a lot!

Was it difficult typing that with one hand while you watched the youtube clip?

Pick6, amazing how much hate, and how much time you spend hating Lance Armstrong. You may be more scary than the diehard Lance lovers!!

Not to mention Merckx's son is employed by Lance

I can't believe NO ONE has mentioned the best part of this whole thing! My USAT membership expires next weekend and now I don't have to renew it until April!!

I dont hate. I dislike. And really other than some discussion time (that could be wasted on my seat position or something else equally useless) spent discussing the soul and integrity of the sport, and what it means that race organizers are willing to ignore bans on athletes found to be doping. Does it look like I only talk about Lance? Show many any other convicted doper currently serving a ban who is attempting to race, and I'll talk about him too. I have in fact, but that doesnt matter. See it as what you want. If Lance werent actively participating in our sport I wouldnt say word 1 about him.

Thats funny. He hasn't raced a triathlon since what June? How many threads talking about him have you been on since his ban? Not just participating in that thread, but probably having the most post in that thread or close to the most. Just pointing it out. You are like JRenfro's anti-matter!
