So if you know specifically "what" Lance is putting in his body, as you claim, then why hasn't UCI & any of the other sanctioning bodies slammed him? Dick Pound was on Lance like white on rice! Don't you think Dick & Lance would have tangled and Dick would have won?

Your hatred makes you blind. Arguing with you is like arguing with a street corner preacher that is telling everybody that will listen that they're going to hell because God told them to say that.

I agree with you that there's no good evidence against Armstrong. What i don't understand is why he constantly talks as if the anti-dopers are a bigger problem than the dopers. No matter how tacky Kimmage's cancer analogy was, HE'S not what's wrong the the sport.

Oops.

Oops.

Yes he is. You're a jealous man.

This is ABSOLUTE truth, and the lies would normally start to tumble in ANYONE who is not an American 7-time Tour winner from Texas with excellent PR "spin doctors."

Oh and that "below threshold" positive test for Cortisone. On July 22, 1999; the Union Cycliste International announced Lance Armstrong had tested positive for triamcinolone-- A very effective recovery corticoid.

A few days later, a Journalist from the paper Le Monde asked why Armstrong had twice stated that he had no medical exemptions for banned products when he was now claiming he did.

"Mr. Le Mond are you calling me a liar or a doper?"

And that Actovegin (cow blood) USPO admitted to pocessing in 2000.... That shit is expensive! Oh but they "didnt dope with it" no, the Cow blood IVs were for the diabetic staff member.

I guess the Insulin was too.

[mustardjunkie]

Without "Knowing." What dont I know about....? All I see is the sworn court testimony that he did EPO, HGG, test, Cortisone; essentially doping to the moon pre-cancer.

Then post cancer he is hooked 100% with Michele Ferrari who is on record to have systematically and scientifically doped his cleints, and his teacher Franscisco Conconi has this reputation too.

All I see is the undetectable drugs: IGF-1, and HGH, and Dynepo.

And Autologous "blood refills"

[Hgrant4630]

Oh I can read clearly that it's typed on YouTube! I just think that it's a sad commentary when everyday people judge others without knowing. It's no different than being bigoted because of the color of someone's skin or the country that they come from. I know that there are people who hate Jews simply because they're Jews. There's no real reason for it other than pure hatred.

All I sense is hatred. Not a "love for the sport" but instead "hatred of a man".

I'm done discussing this.

LA is all PR and way too slick for my liking. He endlessly ducks the real doping questions. He talks about openness but doesn't provide openness. When will the US journalists realise that doing good in one area doesn't entitle you to a free ride in all the other parts of your life.
