Lance RoidStrong

So the guy who started Living Strong and who's motto is "never give up," gives up on charges of being a cheat?

They had to have something on him.

did he dope or not? I don't know. I have my suspicions. The amount of people saying he doped that were teammates or worked with the team is not a small number.

I believe one of his coaches from the late 90s to 2004 had been involved earlier with teams caught for rampant doping.

speaking of possible doping. When Juan Manuel Marquez worked with Heredia/Hernandez (ex drug pusher related to Balco), why did he do it? Same guy works with the Jamaaican sprinters.

Why would you even agree to work with a previous cheater???

Yeah but its Pac who is accused all the damn time for cheating.

Well PAC was the one refusing tests. Its Way different. I just feel the USADA just have it out for Armstrong and he's tired of fighting it.

I think they all cheat in cycling. He should keep his titles.

1 or 2 ex-teammates saying he doped I would question their intent. With the number being higher than that I question Lance. To believe him you have to believe that it is a big conspiracy.

..thats the sad reality of this so called sport.yesterday i read a good article on this on msn home page talking about the credibilty of this doping agency.the biggest witch hunt of them all.and non stop without 1 iota of evidence outside of possible testimony of folks with questional motives.
armstrong indeed just may be sick of all of it.if he wins the case its so what.he cheated and theres doubt for many.he losses its i told you so.the harm has been done to armstrong and that more then anything else may of been the doping agencies motive.taking away his tour victories is laughable.give them to another guy who they claim is clean .claim a big word indeed..this is not as bad as saying paterno now has lost 101 games that everybody in the world knew he won.both reputations are now tarnished.that is just part of it.how much punishment is enough..

Best cyclist, best cheater. I've never felt anyway about the guy except that he was exceptional at what he did and made the sport interesting for a while. I'll still remember his legacy for what is was, professional excellence. And he managed to help out a bunch with cancer along the way.

I never understood how a guy who left his wife for a celebrity was ever taken seriously as a moral crusader. I think it was sympathy over the fact that he only had one ball.
