1. I love this line:

I tell you, Alex Rodriguez's trainer never rests.

2. The horns make that guy's outfit.

:thumbsup:

12. What's he supposed to BE, anyway? The Devil doesn't wear yellow and black

And killer bees have antennae, not horns. I think he's confused.

3. Douchebag. He's no Didi Senft.

4. Too bad there wasn't a cliff nearby.

You got to admire a moron who violates cycling space and risks causing a crash that could injure a dozen or more people. Hope he got arrested.

And yeah, he might be right about Lance, but from what we've seen and heard, the whole sport is built around knowing how to mask doping. When Landis got caught, his excuse was basically "I masked that too well for you guys to catch me, so someone must have sabotaged my sample."

5. Ha!

6. It's impossible to rope in the entire course...

so you see this kinda thing often at bike races. I've seen spectators cause numerous crashes at bike races.

Yeah, there's lots of "enhancement" in the cycling world... I'm indifferent to Lance- Maybe he's clean, maybe he's not (I suspect the latter), but the best thing that ever happened to him with regards to his cycling career was the cancer. It caused him to lose much of the bulk he had built up in his upper body as a triathlete, thus making him a better hill-climber.

[undeterred]

8. The cancer also makes a lot of people give him the benefit of the doubt

about doping. People outside of sports like his image and think he's clean. Almost nobody inside the sport believes he is.

[SacredCow]

9. Yeah, he gets sympathy points for it, that's for sure....

And good on him for beating it.

I used to follow professional cycling rabidly, but got out of it before Lance's rise to fame. I do remember his name from the Triathalon circuits though.

The worst doping I recall was actually a Women's olympic contender for 1984 (I think it was 1984). she started out as a rather cute girl, but in the space of a couple of years.... Yikes. "That's a man, baby," comes to mind. But she DID get caught and lost her chance. She spent a few years on the lecture circuit telling athletes of the disappointment of not knowing in her mind whether she COULD have done it without the steroids. Props to her for that, anyway.

Edited to change one botched sentence, and to add a link to her story:

10. I've heard that it also lightened his bones

due to the chemo

[SacredCow]

11. Possibly....

In climbing, it's all about the weight, and it's virtually impossible to be a world-class cyclist and a mediocre climber.

[redqueen]

7. Nice one...

I see some smiles on the faces of the other cyclists too. :D

[petronius]

13. Awesome! I don't care about cycling, or Armstrong, or doping in sports,

but I do enjoy seeing total goofballs get shoved into snowbanks... :rofl:
