He does more running than cycling these days. He will do trail running races next year.

He has already served six times the amount of time everyone else got, so I don't see what the problem is.


Its not the cheating that makes me dislike him but his ability to lie, manipulate, and be a general asshole. I don't have a problem with him racing though; I just won't be cheering for him.

If being a general asshole should disqualify you from a race the numbers would be drastically reduced.

You are confusing "general asshole" and "world class asshole". There are levels.

I like seeing him hounded just like he relentlessly hounded his (rightful) accusers. Fair is fair.


What rightful accusers? Betsty. wages a feud that has its origins in monetary dispute and her own actions damaged her husband's career? Walsh, who protected dopers like Kelly and Roche, and currently acts as the propaganda mouthpiece for Team Sky? LeMond, who now does public appearances with dopers and refuses to say anything about the dopers he competed against? O'Reilly, who took money to rat on her friends?

Again, I can't decide if you are really College or Mark Higgins. Could go either way.....but great job carrying the water!

Sorry if you were a butthurt fanboy but if you had more than two brain cells connected to each other then you would have easily figured out all the top pros in cycling are doping. It has been part of the culture for more than a century and blood vector doping provides an insurmountable advantage.

In a similar vein, it is too bad you cannot figure out the truth about Betsy, LeMond, and Walsh. They are no different than LA when it comes to creating a myth that sucks in the softheaded.

You must have some kind of connection to Lance and/or his entourage. No other way someone could come to your conclusions.

I think he'd do pretty well in a Spartan Race. He's essentially retired and can piddle around with training... should be very doable and honestly maybe even winnable.


Of course he would. He's a world class endurance athlete, even without the doping.

World class asshole is an arbitrary designation and depends largely on what axe the designator has to grind. If that's the best you can do Lance is in good company.

Guy runs a fair bit, run by him a lot here downtown, doesn't mess around.

Some of you need to watch his podcast with Joe Rogan, it's almost two hours, but it's an interesting, first hand, insight on the things that have happened since everything came undone.

Deep breath, move on.
