I think I'm going to be Lance for Halloween, dress up like a cyclist, and then have a syringe sticking out of my arm.

Admitted to cheating yesterday on the Oprah show. Probably only the beginning of it, as they are now supposedly going to get him to rat on others.

He shouldn't be. He's scumbag and a sociopath. He ruined the lives of people who dared call him out on the truth. An utterly despicable bastard.

Problem is in cycling is that half of them all do the same cause the rest are doing it and it's the only way to compete.

Interesting reading the thread lol.

Don't agree with him being a winner. A scumbag, bully & sociopath maybe, but not a winner.

It's true that doping was endemic in the peloton for many years but it's worth remembering that not only did Lance act as one of the leaders of the doping movement, he also acted more aggressively than anyone else when it came to countering claims. He sued people who called out the truth and actively tried to ruin the lives of those who dared speak out against him.

You should all watch The Armstrong Lie which goes into it all and is absolutely fascinating.

Yep. he tried to ruin people's lives who called him out, Emma O Reilly being one of them.
