Armstrong to admit to doping

Armistead · 01-12-13, 09:30 AM

News reporting Lance Armstrong will admit to doping to Oprah. In doing so, he opens himself to many legal actions..

BossMark · 01-12-13, 09:43 AM

Two words

Cheating bastard

But he makes zero effort to fight it after all this time.

They have something on him, he feels if he concedes now, something even nastier will not come out.

I seen Barry Bonds put up more of a fight than him, and everyone knows Barry was doper. Someone has something on Lance, and is ruining him.

Not saying he was not wrong, just saying that I do not think Lance was the only doper, he just peeved the wrong folks somewhere along the line.

My humble opinion, just guessing.

Nothing is ever simple.

"he wants to get back in the biathlon" was the credo back here a few days ago.
and in order to get that possibility, he has to come clean somehow.
Not that i care much.

soopaman2 · 01-12-13, 03:47 PM

I am in the opinion he did cheat HundertzehnGustav.

I just never seen any proof outside of his own unwillingness to fight the accusations.

The baseball dopers put up a better fight than this, and they stood before congress and lied (imho)

What do they have on Lance? He won't fight it, yet won't admit to it.

Can be attributed to ego I am sure, but the lack of proof on one side or the other is cause for alarm.

Me personally? Did Lance juice up? (IMHO?)

I think he did, but did anyone he competed against juice up? I think they did too. This is as tainted as baseball is now in America. How many did we induct this year (hall of fame)? And why oh why were the homerun champs not inducted first ballot?

We know what they are, and the age we sadly live in.

He has fought doping allegations since his first Tour win.

The only evidence against him is accusation by others.

But he has been stripped of his titles and banned.

He is doing this in the hope he can compete again. He doesn't have any other options except retirement, and obviously he doesn't want to do that yet.

I do believe he doped and cheated.........just like every other cyclist he was trying to beat. It is the most corrupt sport in the history of sport.
I blame him not.

Well ain't that dope.

Well then, Congress and the White House had better confess their dopes too.

eddie · 01-14-13, 08:08 PM

Guess he finally confessed!

So ten years later the dead body finally admits that he died ten years earlier.

I wonder if he only did it to opportunistically gain allowance for other professional sports competition again, or whether it really burnt in his soul to make a clean table.

By the impression I have of him since long time, it is the first.
