'Woo sees it, sans any dope-blindness. It is what it is.WTF tangent is this?
Could you please expand?
“Men who ride an expensive racing bicycle for leisure.”
Thankfully no one riding a DH or Enduro bike is guilty of that.“Men who ride an expensive racing bicycle for leisure.”
This may be the greatest single sentence ever constructed.
what part of THIS MAY BE THE GREATEST SINGLE SENTENCE EVER CONSTRUCTED aren't you getting?Thankfully no one riding a DH or Enduro bike is guilty of that.
In fairness I'm frequently on drugs when I ride my bike....while being on drugs!
Do you also live in a fucking Cotton Candy House like ianjenn?In fairness I'm frequently on drugs when I ride my bike.
Different types though. Still, drugs.
UCI weirdly only bans you for performance decreasing drugs. My only DQ is for beer from their local arm.In fairness I'm frequently on drugs when I ride my bike.

I'm gonna be honest. I'm sure you feel strongly about whatever it is you just typed, but I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.Do you also live in a fucking Cotton Candy House like ianjenn?
Acceptable alternates include:
1) No. I was on a hasty standby list to pickup Lance at the regional airport after his Oprah Interview
2) Again - No. However, I was asked to 'bring the car around' after Lance was scouted at the Tour d' Trump Road Race Series.
3) What the Fuck? No. I missed out on Lance Armstrong's investment tips (...ewww) on the ride-share platform Uber. Just a normal Joe you fuckstick.
In fairness, alcohol is definitely performance enhancing for me. All my best riding back when I was less washed up than I am now came from being well passed buzzed and straddling the line between "very drunk" and "absolutely fucking hammered." And on the inverse, all my worst injuries came from being sober - broken foot, the day I forgot to grab a 12 pack before I headed up the mountain.UCI weirdly only bans you for performance decreasing drugs.

As I age, I still enjoy laughing at others, but I enjoy nothing more than laughing at myself.Thankfully no one riding a DH or Enduro bike is guilty of that.
Why would you laugh at yourself when you know where butch lives?As I age, I still enjoy laughing at others, but I enjoy nothing more than laughing at myself.
We should ride. You got an ebike and coming to Colorado?In fairness I'm frequently on drugs when I ride my bike.

Totally guilty. I love laughing at myself. Probably my most favorite hobby of all.As I age, I still enjoy laughing at others, but I enjoy nothing more than laughing at myself.
if we type Butch 3 times will he appear?

We all love laughing at you tooI like laughing at all you guys too
Is that Mike Ehrmantraut??
isn't that Pantani?I needed to search teh interwebz for that and - is not. Just another trustifarian doper from the 90's.

Too bad they don't drug test more popular sports like the NFL or golf. Doe to rules in the PGA, clubs have to follow standards. Yet their balls are flying farther every year! "technology".
350lb lineman, 90% muscle and running at 23mph. I know that's slightly exaggerated, but not too much.
It's not just a roadie affair. Everyone at the top in endurance sports is on gear. Same for skill based sports that pay well or have enough competitors that self policing of community norms can't exist. I mentioned it a few times here but my friend was a in WADA and he told me it was rare to find a top athlete not skirting the 3 strikes location rule.Before Torino Olympics 2006 the NHL demanded no tests on their players.
Guess why NHL doesn't want to pause its schedule for the Olympics anymore.
Investigators found more than 170 individual samples in Fuentes fridge back then. Only a hand full athletes were sanctioned, mostly roadies. Guess who the biggest numbers were coming from, FC B...cough... Real M cough...
Now let's compare the salaries of say the Schleck brothers to someone like Zidane. Not to speak of the whole teams worth.
It's plain ignorance to think doping is just a roadie affair. They are just easiest to single out and dump, imho, all the while being fairly exposed and getting a lot of attention during the 3 weeks in July every year.
And even so, what are they really testing for and what do they do about it? When Mcguire tested positive, MLB took a huge hit and lost millions of viewers. Lesson learned. I don't watch many sports, but I can't recall the last time the news reported that someone in the NFL, or any pro sports had tested positive.They do test in the NFL, but I according to Wikipedia it is only in season and once per year. Not hard to work around.
wasn't wrong, but he deserved what he got.That's why I don't feel Armstrong was wrong.
When Peyton Manning was struggling to recover from an injury and won the Superbowl it was discovered that he was receiving shipments of HGH. He just claimed it was his wife's and everyone agreed and went on like nothing was wrong.And even so, what are they really testing for and what do they do about it? When Mcguire tested positive, MLB took a huge hit and lost millions of viewers. Lesson learned. I don't watch many sports, but I can't recall the last time the news reported that someone in the NFL, or any pro sports had tested positive.
That's why I don't feel Armstrong was wrong.
I'd love to see all sports as clean. But that won't ever happen.
everything's bigger in texasLance isn't a raging asshole because he doped. He is a raging asshole for everything else he did.
He was wrong not because he doped but because he was a massive dick. That's the real problem not the doping itself.And even so, what are they really testing for and what do they do about it? When Mcguire tested positive, MLB took a huge hit and lost millions of viewers. Lesson learned.

I knew it would come to this at some point. "Everyone was doing it".And even so, what are they really testing for and what do they do about it?

Yeah he basically forced people to dope and didn't he also leave the best shit for himself? Plus yes destroying peoples lives if they didn't obey or dissentI knew it would come to this at some point. "Everyone was doing it".
Armstrong wasn't wrong for doping.
It's what he did to those ends and to other people.
You are trying to make him out as the end user. He was the much closer to the cartel and enforcer. Everyone was not doing what he was doing. The lengths that he went to and narcissism was way over and above what anyone else was doing. That's been the point all along, but few people actually read the entire story, they just think "everyone was doing it". Yeah, that is true, just about everyone was. But Armstrong destroyed people and left a path of destruction (people's lives).
he had the ball
it's true he did some good in there with the foundation but it's hard to see anything he's ever done as purely altruistic.
