So Lance Armstrong admitted to using PEDs from age 21

He was Dumbya's good friend.
Ah well- ReTHUGs will be ReTHUGs

1. Drugs to enhance race horses were first tested on less valuable human bikers

I know a vet who used to work in race horses. He told me that before using drugs to enhance performance by valuable race horses the drugs were first tested on far less valuable human bicycle racers.

3. I believe you

Something is wrong with human beings - the main aim of other species is survival

2. Honestly, I think Chump is the better comparison for Armstrong.

There's no question that his era of competition was totally rife with doping. What bothers me the most about him, was that his arrogance about it all. He was a total bully, attempting to intimidate teammates and others in his orbit. IOW, complete mob tactics. Can the analogy get any more accurate?

5. Good point but he was Dumbya's friend

4. Poor Sheryl Crow

Hope she is better now.

7. She is well rid of him.

He is a complete ass.

6. Can excessive steroid use cause cancer?

8. More importantly, he destroyed other cyclist's careers to lift himself up.

He threw a few of his competitors under the bus for PED use, while doing the exact same thing himself.

Then, when questioned about his own possible use, he would get incensed. How dare a mere journalist ask that question.

It does sound familiar, doesn't it?

9. Great post

10. When I think of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I think of Trump and Armstrong

Armstrong had a great facade, and now that its fallen everyone knows what a dickhead he is.

It's too bad, because he really is a great athlete. He'll never know how far he would have gone without cheating.

He totally fucked the sport.
