magcat Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (from his Twitter): "Obsessed with this new Wilco. It's on heavy rotation. At this rate, I'll be burned out on it in a few days. Gotta back off a bit." Keep on truckin', Lance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thagle Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I thought he prepared by doing lots of HGH, steroids, and epogen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magcat Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Funny, he's never tested positive for any of those things. (And they are apparently pretty easy to catch). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 It's part of the competition, sad, but true. The mofo won 7 tours, whether he doped or not doesn't matter to me given that most, if not all, do. He is a machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Does anyone else think that the new Wilco will be put on the list of forbidden drugs just because Lance Armstrong takes it in ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theremin Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Funny, he's never tested positive for any of those things. (And they are apparently pretty easy to catch).They are nowadays but not at the time he won those 7 tours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magcat Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 They are nowadays but not at the time he won those 7 tours. So he's presumed guilty because you don't like his looks? I wonder if George Washington was on steroids when he crossed the Delaware? (I read that he never passed a single drug test!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theremin Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I never said that. But around the year 2000 about every professional cyclist was using epo, I really doubt you could win the biggest race on earth whitout it at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 In 2008 every tour cyclist was on Cera. And in 2009 every cyclist is using something there isn't a test for yet. Plus Lance did Mashley Olsen which is just freaking creepy. And actually Lance did test positive for EPO, but it was after the fact, and the results weren't designed to catch him but just develop the test for EPO. But if anyone thinks that Lance beat a handful of the best tour cyclists ever, all of whom subsequently were revealed to be doping at the time, merely on his legendary heart size and body's ability to process lactic acid, I'd say in a word you're delusional. The Chuck Norris page should replace Chuck with Lance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Theremin Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nah, a few were indeed using CERA but they all got caught since it's not that hard to detect it. I'm pretty sure last year's tour winner Sastre was cycling relatively clean, if only because he's just not that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Chuck Norris page should replace Chuck with Lance. Completely absurd. Your wild claims about the 2008 Tour riders are completely unsupported by any evidence whatsoever, except the desperate fingerpointing accusations of the utterly unreliable Bernard Kohl, trying to minimize his admitted drugging by claiming that "everybody does it." You're the delusional one, living in a fantasyland where by watching tv carefully you're able to successfully obtain positive drug tests for 200-some cyclists. Your opinions of Armstrong's success are more of the same -- speculation by the ignorant. The fact that you'd bring up his personal life as evidence that he cheated his way to 7 Tour de France victories just shows your claims are rooted in your vindictive dislike of the man rather than any science.

The Frenchies just might. This year's TDF is experimenting w/o the use of radio communication between the team and riders. Should be interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Seriously. He and Brett Favre should get a place together. One could argue that Armstrong is not even the third best rider on his team this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Seriously. He and Brett Favre should get a place together. One could argue that Armstrong is not even the third best rider on his team this year. Relative to their sport, Armstrong is a gajillion times better than Farv. We'll see. Cycling is a sport of timing. Levi's peak may have happened this season. Contador is in better physical shape but his brain doesn't always work correctly. In a mental & physical race as tough as the TDF, I will not be surprised to Armstrong in the top 3. Not saying he will, but it would not surprise me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fatheadfred Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Farv is like the 20th best QB out of 50 (generous rank)Armstrong, in the TDF field of around 160 riders is in the top 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Farve is kind of, err, older. Plus let lance get into the top 10 first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
