Lance Armstrong Attacks #2

[karuitha]

Nothing will take away my respect for this guy, he is an absolute legend. His book, "its not about the bike" is the best I have read in years. Inspiring

[since2009able]

Fuck all doping callers, he is a hero with or without doping, what wold u be in his place? dead body

[wwtdd1]

Wow lance looks old with those glasses at 0:57

[wingmanrob71]

Amazing what you can do with EPO running through your body

[xxmdogxx1ify1]

@wingmanrob71 pothead!

[vodkalief]

Armstrong l'escroquerie du siecle ! cheater

[Vidasjr]

at1.40

How he waits for, also a great climber, Marco Pantani....class!

I think it was also in this race, finish at Alp D'Huez, that he gave Marco the win.

[flanker1962]

You got to love his look around at 1.01!!!!! BYE BYE BOYS.LOL

[TheClubland2010]

This guys power and pure passion is how he has managed to win the TDF 7 times. After fighting cancer it's almost like he can do anything. Nothing could be harder. Pure passion for the sport is what drives him to win.

[snifferen1]

armstrong is the best cyklist ever and he will allways be

[yrahcaz411]

I've been watching Lance win the TDF since I was in second grade. I'm 16 now and still hoping he comes back this year to get win #8 at The Tour.

[petresnotlosingit]

@u368 Isn't there something else you could be doing? Maybe something constructive like learning proper grammar? Because all you seem to be doing at the moment is watching and commenting on Lance Armstrong videos and coming out with these wild accusations that you found on Google. If this so-called "evidence" was really so easy to find, don't you think that the rest of the world would have found them as well?

[nokia3210fuck]

king of doping

[adgwytc]

@nokia3210fuck : Where is your proof please? And if you have it can you please hand over to anyone who wants to proceed with prosecution against Armstrong. Thanks.

[nokia3210fuck]

@adgwytc

People like Armstrong can only exist because there are too much naive people like you out there who have no clue about doping whatsoever and believe his lies.

By the way there is no cyclist in the whole tour de france who is not on some kind of juice.

Even the amateur cyclists aren't clean.

[biscuitmancollin]

@nokia3210fuck i think those who dope are innovative pioneers in the sporting world....bravely venturing into a taboo realm, knowing that they may be socially ostricized for their actions....and doing it anyway. they are heroes.

[franrafuki]

@nokia3210fuck king of negatives

[haringjuri]

livestrong... go go go

[luciferik82]

my boyfriend of 3 years got me hooked up on Tour de France, Lance is his big hero. read his biography it is not about a bike...unbelievable that he survived that chemo and how his body shape changed.. I think after his chemo his sensitivity for pain must have been pushed so down that when others are screaming from pain he is ok.. and his return last year was pretty amazing for old guy who did not competed for years.. looking forward to watch Tour de France this year...go Czech and Slovak youngs

[Blazestrongbahman1]

Life can be skeptical. It is the skeptical ones who fail to achieve their goals and dreams then ride on disbelief for comfort.

We all grew up with imaginary heroes, but Lance is the true superman. If you dont respect and believe in true ambitions, then perhaps you have only conquered your ignorant determinations.

[u368]

Response to Jay Leno question.

Armstrong: "I've proven it so many times that you just have to look and think for yourself. If those guys have been caught and it's been shown what they were doing....and I beat those guys........then.............t­hen I..............."

*realizes what he's implying*

*monster pause*

"I.....then....."

Leno, cutting in with a matter-of-fact tone, to save armstrong: "Hey lance, you never tested positive, right?"

Armstrong: "Never"

[btinder711]

@u368

All you've pointed out is Armstrong isn't as eloquent as a career politician.

The inescapable fact is that he never once tested positive over 13 years of racing professionally.

[u368]

The inescapable fact are that

he lied openly in 1999 at Tarbes press conference.

UCI covered him by derogating its rules (TUE have to be mentioned before testing and not after).

UCI tried to cover his 6 EPO samples of 1999.

[chatty31]

Lance is a living legend and a massive inspiration to thousands ...end of........

[maccermacnab]

I am sooo sick of people ranting about doping allegations on EVERY SINGLE cycling clip. It's like you guys have a sick fascination with it. Just leave it alone & enjoy the vid ffs!!

It's well known that almost 99% of the very top cyclists dope & therefore they are pretty much all on an even keel, so just leave it be OK?!

The fact that Lance has consistently tested negative MUST say something to you guys...

[fitforlife101]

@maccermacnab People will constantly rant because they are the type of people that can't get off their backsides and really go for something, they will constantly try and drag people down to their level, Lance actually mentions them in his biography and the world is full of them - lazy people with no strength or guts.

[Blazestrongbahman1]

If Armstrong was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer--given a less than 20% chance of survival but then beating the disease sure proves he will beat any man with one testicle any day...

[grenseel]

@maccermacnab couldnt put it better myself

[Dampedkiller]

@maccermacnab i usually give them a thumbs down and note a spam :)

[lucasmaximus83]

@maccermacnab

Armstrong was doping ... just didn't get caught.

Using EPO normal riders can ride 200kms without feeling nearly as tired as they should be ... he was against loads of dopers ... everyone did it ... Armstrong just wasn't caught.

[u368]

Manzano's statement about the new Puerto:

The owner of this clinic, a renowned haematologist, called Walter Viru, who is one of the doctors for Kelme, to alert them the day before the UCI vampires were coming to take the samples from the cyclists. And he did the same thing with Del Moral, the doctor for the US Postal team and then Discovery, [who is] a good friend of his."

When he said it in 2005, he was threaten by UCI of lawsuit... and yesterday Spanish police caught Viru in a doping ring.

[smithsil]

You will find u368 and hghepo enjoy bashing on lance. Some sort of sick thrill. Anyway the point is you guys both suck so please move on and do something constructive with your time, its really pathetic to see the slander you throw out there against a respectable athlete and one of cyclings greatest legends.

[speedoflite1]

u368 - The nonsense u talk about, is silly, wrong & downright gutless. Besides, you must NOT be an athlete of any measure, let alone a cyclist.

So scram!!!

[u368]

Does-it make sense for an athlete with a 41% hematocrit to have 48-49 along TDF?

None of the multiple scientist studies done on training high or altitude tent shows a such ridiculous increase of hematocrit by any natural means.

If you combine EPO found in samples, current situation of sport, the legal testimonies, and all others clues about Lance's doping, I believe your statement are wrong.

[speedoflite1]

u368 ~ sounds like more of the same slanderous gobbledegook, faulty, contaminated, and/or totally made up data, indicating absolutely NOTHING. Certainly not anything that could be used to bring any official case of due process against Lance, by any stretch of the imagination.

Lance is (already accepted) to lead Team Radioshack at TDF in July 2010. And, you? ...you'll still be toying with yourself in some kind of wacky alternative reality.

[u368]

OK I understand... I am not President, there is no legal decision saying Irak invasion was stupid so I cannot point that failure of common knowledge and sense.

Welcome to Lala Land

As said Ullrich about doping: everyone capaable to add 1 + 1 is able to know the truth about doping.

What does it mean?

[speedoflite1]

"Iraq."

Man, oh man!!! ...and u wanna slander Lance, who's tested totally clean (at random, unannounced, in and out of competition throughout the year, over three decades), a zillion times.

This "means" I've moved on from you, dude.

[speedoflite1]

u368 I repeat: Blood, urine, hair, saliva & perspiration are universally considered to be appropriate for random diagnostic screening and testing of banned substances by UCI and AFLD. Along with keeping track of a cyclists' whereabouts, both in and out of competition; proper identification/labeling, chain of custody and various methods anticontamination of those samples is also critical, even before it can be called, "evidence", either for or against the cyclist.

[u368]

To repeat don't make you right. UCI (and WADA) uses only urine and blood for doping control.

When Lance had hair taken by AFLD, he phoned to UCI to know if they had the right to do it. MacQuaid response was AFLD can do it on french soil and french laws.

Ashenden said something like tampering samples with EPO requiert "aliens technology".

More difficult would be to guess Lance's sample between all anonymous samples.

That conspiracy theory would never explain how Lance got his 48% hct?

[OberonRacing]

"a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury

Signifying nothing." Shutup and ride, dick.

[smithsil]

according to the UCI, lance armstrong does not dope. Guess you must be some higher authority on the matter u368 (hghepo)?

[hghepo]

If UCI had followed their rules, Lance would have a positive test for corticosteroid.

It's not because authority said eath is flat despite scientists that they were right. In that case, scientists are saying EPO was found in Lance' samples.

Explain how he could had a 49% hematocrit by past and now just 45% as maximum when blood is monitored?

[smithsil]

the minute amounts found were consistant with a topical cream used for treating saddle sores for which Lance had a medical certificate. Still not seeing your point here, your argument amounts to basically nothing.

[hghepo]

The point is :

- form of that sample had not TUE mentionned on it by Lance

- on rest day in Tarbes, Lance said to press asking explanation about his STUPEFIANT transformation to mountain goat, that he had no TUE for EPO nor for other drugs.

2 days later the positive test was announced for corticosteroid at one of the first stages (1th or 4th). Then an outdated TUE was given, Lance 's masseuse testimonied under oath about the fake in SCA affair.

Liar reputation of Lance was born.

[u368]

Speedoflite,

Only blood and urine are tested by UCI. AFLD takes hair for scientific research like finding correlation with drugs in blood or urine and change made in hair.

Armstrong had been tested < 100 times in his 1st part of career, and probably around 50 times since his comeback. Drugs corticosteroid (1) and EPO (6 + 2) have been found in 9 of his urines samples.

Who said that Paris lab was sloppy,and cannot be trust ? Why did Lance trust them in 2009 despite his spiking allegations?

[speedoflite1]

Human blood, hair, urine, saliva and perspiration are universally accepted (incl. UCI and AFLD ant-doping board) as potential evidence gathered in drug screening.

Lance has voluntarily submitted to literally hundreds of random tests, in and out of competition. Bottom line: He has never failed a drug test over his 25-plus years of (WINNING) athletic competition. To smear his name otherwise, without evidence, is downright gutless.

[speedoflite1]

u368, a stool sample for brains: restated!

[u368]

@ speedoflite1,

I was thinking you was able to search your own evidence on internet. You could have find the presentation about corruption in sport that was made at "Play the game" conference, they cited the $500.000 donation of Lance.

[speedoflite1]

Lance is the guttiest, toughest and fittest athlete ever; to name just a few of his accomplishments: Teen-phenom triathlete, World Cycling Champ, U.S. Cycling Champ/Triple Crown Winner, 7-time(straight) Tour De France Winner (3rd place straight off retirement), Marathon Runner, Mountain Bike Race Winner (2nd & 1st place) @ Leadville 100, Cancer survivor/spokesman and Father of four, and more to come!

[u368]

You forgot to say he has beaten all doping tests or cleared them by outdated TUE or a $500.000 donation to UCI, or with his friend at the head of US cycling entity... better than Madoff.

[speedoflite1]

uidiot ~Considering the hard evidence you presented ... (Oh wait! there wasn't any), equals your nonexistent accomplishments. That stool sample for a brain of yours notwithstanding.

[Swedemon]

le dopage le dopage le dopage... j/k

[breznsaepp]

Gedopt sans leider alle...trotzdem ist es schon sau edel...die alten Beißer

[ibra299]

go armstrong,you are probably  the best cyclist in the world .

[Panic1177]

and the best doped one...

[shadyltd85]

yo "panic1177" how many drug tests has armstrong failed im just curious??oh wait...NONE!!!haha just sit there and cry that armstrong is the greatest cyclist ever im over here playing the worlds smalles violin for u =)

[Panic1177]

in 1999 the blood test were positiv on EPO.

curiously the "B" samples disappeared.

[koenhify]

yeh he is a great cyclist, but merckx stays the best cyclist in the world just because he won everything not only the tour de france. But yeah armstrong is great ^^

[beavervalley1]

@ibra299 eddy merckx is up there somewhere :)

[09djy]

@ibra299 best cheater in the world .. for sure

[DjZpinx]

Such a great sports-spirit!

I'll never forget that year, where Beloki crashed, and Lance crossed that grass-field. Unbelievable!

Yet I still feel sorry for Beloki; 'cause that was his best season, untill he crashed.

Livestrong!

[tamalozossososs]

Lance always saludes at the finish line to the guy that died in cycling, he looks up to the sky........ very respectful, nice.....

[b0y1nterupted]

Fabio Casartelli

[jakeg2808]

The best thing he said was when he climbed Alpe D'Huez the following day after castelli's death (cant remember what year off the top of my head) but Lance Said he felt no pain that day, and felt like he had the power of 2 Riders in him, TRULY AMAZING. When was the last time a footballer said something like that.

[ZQPYU]

Those in the know? LOL Where is your proof. Back in my cat5 days, I beat the field one time by such a large margin that people said I must be doping. Cat 5? Those people in the know are just people who don't understand or comprehend or except the fact that they got beat by the better person. No by some mythical, mysterious, undetectable drug. I hear these guys at the Cat 1races quite often, talking about "you gotta use to stay up front". These are often the first guys dropped. Proof?

[scarletlover]

I love how everyone seems to forget that Before his cancer, indeed since his childhood, Lance was a phenomenal athlete. He had tour stages before his cancer. After his cancer he lost about 20 pounds off his racing weight, increasing his power to weight ratio by over 15%. Those in the know, those that raced, know that these kinds of things just dont happen in cycling. Give the man his due, he is a scientific freak of nature.

[thisnameisrandom]

Jan Ullrich was also constantly named as the most talented cyclist of his generation and the most perfect cyclist genetically.

He was clean too right?

[cyclepathgirl]

right on!!! he's a top notch athlete that uses his name to better this world for those surviving and dying of cancer... Wish there were more freaks of nature. instead we have the bitter and hypocritical ready to crucify the man.

[fabricem13]

lance est le plus grand champion de tous les temps !!! merci pour tout !!! ravi que tu reviennes !!!

[tvdberge]

non, c'est Merckx

[dondefant]

Lance è il migliore!!!! Forza forza fai tuo anceh il Giro!!!

[100lecc]

so take drugs and attack...

[kraxx11]

it's easy to attack with drugs

[daveythekid86]

You're damn right. I always liked him. But since this "drug desaster" I'm totally disappionted of him and the cycling sport...

[Fiskandchips]

what drug disaster? -_-

[bkermike]

no recent drug disaster..just lance armstrong haters spamming crap on u tube mate.

[Fiskandchips]

couldnt remember that there had been any drug disasters with lance :D

[amreed2]

LOL. True, mate. Psychologists should study this. The theory must be that these LA "haters" have a secret and deep down lust to worship his remaining t*sticle. Why else would anybody waste their time watching LA vids if they hated him so much?

[jesusaraojo]

hahahahaha u people always saying this things shame on you...

[Gwfan43]

honestly when its proven he has taken drugs then people will agree with you but he has never had a positive test for any banned substance and until then u cant say shit about him

[TriathlonGirlRocks]

love, love, love this video. so inspiring. thank you so much for posting it.

[Nicoolai]

Lance was the best.

Great movie !

[drmarthacastro]

Lance Armstrong was, is, and will always be the best!

I love him!!!

[figgskzoo]

In each's time, each could beat anyone. But...Eddy consistently kept a bigger margin of victory over his peers than Lance. That being said, Lance is a great inspiration and I'm taking nothing away from him. He beat all comers, 7 years straight, in the toughest sporting event in the world...period.

[sjl62]

dude, i was enjoying the vibe until i had to see beloki's career end!

[retromullet]

Lance is the Man, good video my friend!

[manimalpc]

no pueden mesclar a Eddy con Lance,Lnace ni se aproxima a lo que es Eddy me parece un insulto

[drmarthacastro]

He is, indeed!

[drmarthacastro]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing it with us. I love Lance with all my heart!
