Lance Armstrong interview in Playboy from before the Tour

Gee thanks Steve! I would've appreciated it if people bought the mag
instead of reading it online, but you took care of that.

My cousin has a friend that works for Trek. He's over there watching the
Tour, and he calls my cousin to fill him in. He said the French hate
Lance, and would paint messages to him on the road trying to get him to
make a wrong turn. The can't stand the fact that an American is kicking
their ass at their own game.

Didn't [censored] have the same kind of problem with another famous american?
Jesse Owens won four gold medals at the 1936 Plymics. This was [censored]'s
chance to show the world what his new master race could do. But this black
man from the USA shows up and upset his little propaganda attempt.

And now the French carry on this elitest [censored]. Shouldn't they be happy
that the best athletes in the world are competing in their race?

Ya know what. I thought it was a hoot.
High paid, crybabies thought they could go through the motions without
trying.
Not so easy now that players from other countries come here to play pro, but
go home for the Olympics.
Had it really been a bunch of kids playing their heart out, yeah I would not
have liked that.

It's not the same thing. Being "not happy" about it doesn't mean you have
to try to cheat to win. You can be not happy about the loss and still
respect the winning team.

Again, it is like segragated baseball.

Do you really enjoy the game more if the best athletes are not playing? It
is supposed to be about excellence and competition. Civilized people can
rise above the other stuff.

Who cares about nationalities, religieons or race. It is supposed to be a
celebration of excellence. An eshibition of something that most of us mere
mortals will never be able to do. May the best person win.

I don't mind that the highly-paid crybabies ( as individuals ) on the team
got beat, but I always favor the US to win at everything. In the end it's
just a game, so I don't feel the need to spit on or punch or heckle the
athletes from other nations though. And I'll always be ashamed of any
American that does so.

I doubt that was the case here. It sounds like Armstrong was carving a
blind corner. Even so, to be [censored] about your truck when the other
guy has a broken C7 is pretty screwed up.

I would agree with that. Of course, the guy didn't know Lance's
diagnosis at the moment, all he knew was that some cyclist just ran into
him. His anger doesn't sound particularly "French" to me.

So how come am I defending the French and blasting LA? I must be in a
contrary mood today.

She's a tad 'lumpy' for my own personal taste, and I've tried treating
her with courtesy and sympathy/empathy, which met with hostility, so
she can go and get stuffed as far as I'm concerned.

You will know I'm not really into feminism and political correctness!!
