@MacYavel83 In 1984 Fignon was being interviewed on the tour de france stage with Jeanie Longo -- and he told her he didn't like woman cycling 'caue it's not esthetic -- what do you say to that? And then you people write RIP just 'cause he died and the media kisses his ass

[Lundahlium]

@MacYavel83 he wasn't a nice guy believe me -- and suddenly he's looking for some pity and recognition because he admitted taking drugs

he should of thought of that before taking them

and the result is when he didn't took any, he'd lose.

I don't like those people who all of a sudden he's dead, post their comments RIP when they didn't give a shit about him when he'd stopped;

I'm french and was a big fan of hinault because he was nice and took his loses like a man

[Lundahlium]

@MacYavel83 He doesn't like reporters but he could be at least POLITE -- yes, I said fuck him 'cause he never gave a fuck about his team only when'd won

go on INA and you'll see a tons of interviews where he stalks off in the middle of them

In fact I'm gonna send them to you

in France the gvt simply wants to make a big fuss about Fignon -- that he's a role model, a warrior...

And your argument just because he was on rugs and everybody is too is a shame

so what? lets let everybody take drugs?

[MacYavel83]

@Lundahlium so he didn't like reporters... big deal... this is not what "arrogant" means

I watched the races when I was a kid ; and you may have seen something I did not see that make you call him arrogant. Give me an example.

And he's not responsible for what you say the government is trying to do with him (btw, what are you talking about ?)

And he does not deserve to be treated like you did (quote "fuck him, etc.) just because he was on drugs. Everybody was - and still is.

[Lundahlium]

@MacYavel83 Because french gvt wants to make him into a hero just because he died of cancer -- it's bullshit -- I could die f cancer tomorrow and spend my life defending an association, nobody'd give a fuck about me.

And he was arrogant, especially during his rivalry with Benard Hinault -- and with Lemond.

Eveyrtime we'd ask him why the race didn't go well, he'd tell the reporters to fuck off.

Don't believe the media bullshit

[MacYavel83]

@Lundahlium how arrogant ? When did you see him being arrogant ?
