Lance Armstong Heated Interview

[footlockerjl32]

cool and calm as it gets

[TPM75108]

Lance gave him what he deserved!

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

doper

[spankula123]

He wants to admit using dope badly. I still can't find where he flatly denies ever doping.

[GarrettLeeM]

@spankula123 Yeah? A guy who was a pro athlete at the age of 15? And on the olympic cycling team out of high school? And at one point the most drug tested athlete on the face of the earth? A doper?

Im sure you didn't catch his whole Nike commercial about doping. Or the fact that if he had tested positive, the world would know about it STAT. He doesn't have to deny it, he's innocent until proven guilty.

[spankula123]

@GarrettLeeM He won't deny doping. Simple as that.

[fastmover564]

haha I want to see that interviewers face after Lance's statement :D

[Tsumaji]

What a fucking badass.

[broumirin]

HEMAD

[TheChevroletBlazer]

It's good to see him put that guy in his place and still be respectful. Even though the other way around is fun to watch, there isn't enough of this.

[Pes2011Sucks]

Class act

[canublink]

id be pissed if i had one nut too.

[SolidSnake032486]

@canublink Are you sure you have any?

[Kite123]

Look at what this so called "reporter" thinks about this situation

/watch?v=y6Ai6t6R1_w

[SnoBlackMelbkour]

@Kite123 Good detective work, Watson. And Watson! Tell your mother I love her.

[Z3koD3vo]

Lance didnt even cuss or anything like most other people would, and he kept his cool through it all. He owned him with his own persona and his own words. Amazing.

[MrXcdeegan95]

@hardcorefrom94 I'm not even going to waste my time argueing with you if you don't even know what kimmage's first name is.. its Paul !.. believe what you want, no one wins the tour de france 7 times ! no one !.. you have NO idea how impossible that is.. none !,, everyone knows he's a fake, the real greats like leMond know he's a fake, he associates with dopers.. only couch cyclists believe his shit because they just go on youtube and look up "lance armstrong" and see all his pop, promo videos

[MrXcdeegan95]

Gowan kimmage !! one of the last true cyclists. fuck Armstrong hes a joke ! passive agressive fuck trying to turn masses of people on you, one minute lance is crying "don't people deserve a second chance ?".. the next hes saying "i wont forgive you".. what a contradictive idiot.. hes a cheater and a loser, if Millar was doping.. haha don't you think for a second lance wasn't.. my grandad died of cancer, i dont hate kimmage.. hes saying LANCE is a cancer, hes not making fun OF cancer

[Rac1ng4Live]

@MrXcdeegan95 right he makes a destinction between people from who wasn't sure at that time the used dope and people who use this disease to be funny. And don't go talk shit like he doesn't make fun of cancer. Using cancer as a metaphor is humiliating to many people. It's like not recognising how bad this disease can be.

[FitnessFreaky1978]

nicely put lance - that guy is a fucking cockroach

[Leetpeon]

lance just destroyed that guy

[TheDelianLeague]

I am absolutely blown away by this response. It clearly shows how in tune with his environment Lance is but to remain so calm and clear with his point when facing comments so personal is impressive. Shame that everyone is lining up to knock him down.

[local72b]

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar = he took performance enhancing drugs. That means he is a cheat. Very very simple.

[xxicubusxx]

Report: 0

Lance: 1

[Surfeit85]

Livestrong.

[marcusbondi]

It's a multi-million dollar sport with corporations and science and training and nutrition and diets and strength and psychology and techniques and teams and brands and strategy and equipment and rubber and and personality and carbon fibre and luck and weather and pebbles and bones and ligaments..... whether he was ever on dope or not is irrelevant in the scheme of things - and if LA was, they all were......

[slaphaddalztick]

Lance would make a brilliant politician-definitely presidential material!

[roydcop]

He held out longer than most Cheaters do .. Wonder if he will ever confess or will he go The Roger Clemens delusional track of 'denial no matter what.'

CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD.

Look up "noble" Lance you Douche.

[carlosdeno]

@roydcop Balloon Head, total balloon head..who the F&*K are you..?

[ihavenothing0000]

@roydcop that's not cool man, stop being such a couch cyclist

[roydcop]

He held out longer than most Cheaters do .. Wonder if he will ever confess or will he go The Roger Clemens delusional track of 'denial no matter what.'

CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER

[gomey70]

And what's worse, he uses cancer as a shield of righteousness to hide behind,

he's a disgrace and should go hide under a rock for the rest of his days.

[gomey70]

Look at Hincapie sitting beside him who has just admitted to doping himself.

Hincapie was never tested positive either so Lance's point that he never tested positive is looking pretty thin.

Well done Paul Kimmage for exposing these frauds when everyone was swallowing the Lance kool-aid.

That's Hincapie, Landis and Hamilton who have all admitted to doping and say Lance was doping too.

What a cheat, what an utter, utter fraud.

[baconservice]

@gomey70 It goes without saying doesnt it? Hamilton said he doped (lance) like all of us many times.Well then it was a level playing field.At the end of the day Lance was the best no matter what after he has gone through in life with cancer and then go on and win like he did.I think some people forget about the cancer bit. Go Go Lance your the daddy!!!

[beesleeper]

bicycle go fast!

[Gauntrl]

Hew had to, just for show plus hope

[edd184]

Lance get off your fucking hobby horse your sport is full is dopers who try to fool us all. Fair play to Paul Kimmage for having the balls to stand up to fraudsters and challenging the cheats. I wonder if the truth comes out some day will all you muppets who defended the dopers eat a big slice of humble pie.

[andytoka1]

@edd184 whatever point paul kimmage wanted to make got lost in the insensitivity of his remarks. . . that wasn't fair play in my book

[localfox1000]

@andytoka1 fair point

[jamsams]

Well, I just wish we had seen Paul Kimmage's face during that complete put down by Lance. I wonder what his expressions were? That heartless, uncaring desrespectful piece of dirt, bet it was like water off a ducks back. The world would be better without the Paul Kimmage types in it. As for Lance, I stand alongside everyone who commented on his gentleman like response. Massive respect for Lance.

[Gromitdog1]

What if paul Kimmage was sitting on a 2 trillion $ chair? Then what lance?

[dw5903]

@Gromitdog1 If he was sitting on a 2 trillion $ chair, then the guy definitely is not worth the chair he was sitting on...You're comment would make more sense if you asked 'what if he was sitting on a $2 chair...

haha.

Great response by Lance and dealt with like a true gentleman.

[hghepo]

Lance is the biggest fraud of sport, a man linked with the Al Capone of doping : Dr Ferrari.

Yes I agree with Paul, he is the cancer of sport !

[maxistviews]

@hghepo lets just say he is, or was, on drugs at some point in his career. Would it not be fair to estimate that other riders within the sport would be as well? If the answer to that question is YES, then the playing field is leveled again. I don't understand some people. Most people who who give people like Lance earache about drugs are either not into any sport professionally, or are has beens, therefore, what does it matter to them? I am highly anti-drugs, but these athletes are still imense

[hghepo]

@maxistviews Do you believe that all riders can pay 300k and more for a high sophisticated doping program? Why had Lance chosen to pay an exclusivity for the top doping program of Dr Ferrari?

Most important, not all riders were ready to increase their hematocrit to 60% and then take albumine to be in the range of 50% ! Lance had no limit in his doping, some have.

[hghepo]

@maxistviews One more point about leveled field with doping : Lance without doping would never have won a single TDF because of his average physiology as GT contender. Sure he would have probably won classics but never a TDF or a Giro in a clean field.

Do you think that Hincapie or Armstrong dropping real climber is a leveled field?

[jamsams]

@hghepo You disgust me as much as Kimmage.

[hghepo]

@jamsams Lance's doping and lies should disgust you.

Lance's fraud is the cancer of cycling.

[Hollywood1898]

@hghepo You must be French 

[hghepo]

@Hollywood1898 You must be a Lance's chamois sniffer !

BTW Lance just has entered in the 10 of the most tainted accomplisment, he is ranked 6th.

Sure he could win soon 7 in a row too.

[Hollywood1898]

@hghepo You aren't half the man Lance Armstrong is, I'm guessing your about 320 lbs and completely upset that you would break a bike if you tried to ride it.

[hghepo]

@Hollywood1898 I never have thought that Lance was 640lbs !

You are right I will never beable to do half of the Lance's frauds and Lance's cheating.

Thanks.

[Hollywood1898]

@hghepo By fraud and cheating you mean setting world records and being a phenom at the most intensive sport on the planet. Where is your scientific proof professor. Jealous much?

[hghepo]

@Hollywood1898 No one is jealous of a fraud like Lance.

His accomplishment are seen as the result of corruption, cheating and doping, and will lead to deception for most of his fans and cancer patients that have been betrayed, sometimes defrauded, by a liar.

BTW have you read Dr. Ashenden interview about Lance' s samples of 1999 TDF within EPO?

[Hollywood1898]

@hghepo I just did. He sounds like another guy trying to gain fame from Lance Armtrong. He has not one shred of scientific evidence whatsoever, just like the french lab who accused him of doping. When challenged they all promptly back down. The only audience they have are muckrackers like u

[hghepo]

@Hollywood1898 Problem with your assertions is that Dr. Ashenden is a scientist who is one of the world leader of his field : blood doping.

It seems that you are living in a hole, french lab repeated last year that Lance doped, and Lance's samples have been requested by US Justice recently.

[Hollywood1898]

@hghepo Go to Austin, Texas. Lance could kick ur ass anyday with 1 ball and 1 leg. All of his fellow cyclists respect him and admire him. He is a legend of the sport all over Europe. There has never been one shred of evidence proving he has doped. In my opinion, there should not even be a debate about it. What purpose would he have for doping? He is way too talented to ruin his health by taking that sh*t. You're just another anti-Lance fanboy.

[eearie]

What a fantastic response. Serves him right. In the media you're allowed to say bad things about people, but that guy was just wrong.

Armstrong at least is capable of kicking people's ass without even insulting.

[Aleowiciuos]

Notwithstanding his drug use, Lance could have gone on to be regarded as a great cyclist. With this response, he has proved to be an angry, foul, arrogant, and out of control, individual. With all the money he makes he could just shut up. Cancer research will go one with or without him.

[btingley88]

First off, Lance just tooled Paul Kimmage into submission. I am sure he was staining the pits of his suit while he sat there and tried to keep a straight face while his weiner crawled back inside for protection. Secondly, Hincapie looks sooo uncomfortable sitting there. It is really funny.

[mynameisboban]

lance armstrong is a gr8 person, but wat i like about him in this interview is that he didnt cuss or do anything bad like other people wld do. he just sat there and fought with his words.

[u368]

LiveWrong and CheatStrong.

[percdann]

Ya dont gotta like lance but if ya gotta problem with livestrong ya need your head checked

[brandonsanfran]

Yep, got served.

[christian92485]

Wow.  Armstrong is great.

[chsspartan]

Someone just got served :-p

[TheSteveMcQueen]

It is an brilliant interview not least because Armstrong has raised the profile of cycling and is also a good role model in the fight against cancer but I do respect Paul Kimmage for having the balls to ask Armstrong the doping question, which allegedly sadly still looms in the peloton. Respect to both men.

[gingandproud]

Well balanced points. Totally agree. I wish more journo's would ask the hard questions and not tip toe around the issue. Doping and professional cycling unfortunately go hand and hand. Anybody thinking that the likes of Lance and friends get by on just eggs, rice, water and pasta are kidding themselves. Nobody rides that fast and that hard day in, day out without rEPO.

[islavista00]

Lance is a cool dude!! What a fantastic response!!

[PaceAmoreGioia]

Considering the insensitivity of the comment made by Kimmage Lance kept his emotions in check, and used his words in a calm and forward manner--he expressed his emotions in his words--which I thought was absolutely beautiful--and still he defended himself and his cause in the fight against cancer. Lance in turn respected Kimmage with the amount of respect one human deserves from another where as Kimmage did not respect Lance or the effected cancer community in any way shape or form. LiveSTRONG

[gingandproud]

Dream on buddy

[twg20101]

@PaceAmoreGioia lol wht do you make of Landis and Hamilton's latest revelations saying that Armstrong took banned sustances?

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

@PaceAmoreGioia Zero insensitivity in Kimmage's response.
