If you and your blow buddies on this thread...
To boil your argument down, you're saying, "Lance is the 7-time Tour champion, move on. Quit crying about it since it serves no purpose. Stop your whining."
Now, let's take your line of reasoning and apply it to a different topic, say, the Holocaust. Would you tell Holocaust survivors, their relatives -- well, actually the entire global community since it was a crime against humanity -- would you tell them to "Move on. Quit crying about it since it serves no purpose. Stop your whining." I can't imagine you would.
Okay, clearly the Tour is not the Holocaust, but it illustrates a point.
First, it does serve a pourpose to talk about it. I think this point is self explainatory.
Secondly, when you come on this forum, this section, you're dealing with people who have been involved with the sport of cycling well before Lance appeared on the scene. Why, I myself was in a break with Lance when I was 25 and he was 17. One of the last races I did more than 20 years later I was in a break with Tyler Farrar when he was 17. Bookends to a career of a marginal cyclist who loved the sport. Other posters have equally exciting, non-notable experiences from times well before mine.
Point is, the guy you defend likely cheated -- you admit that yourself -- and in so doing, he's stolen seven Tours. Cheated, lied, made them boring, and generally ushered in a new era of doping in cycling.
The Tour, in this forum, is held dear. Don't be surprised when people lambaste you for defending the guy who ruined it for them seven years going on eight.
I personally don't have strong feelings for against the man. I regard him as a great cyclist who cheated. There's plenty of them out there. Marginal ones too.
One last thing: Sir, take the Lance Armstrong yellow ***** out of your ass and see if you can't find your head up there. If you do, that would explain the drivel that is your prose on this thread.
