Probably because they try not to be arrogant bastards that parade their wealth and girlfriends in the media, they dont give ueber-hypocritical interviews, they dont claim that they have performed miracles, dont insult their fellow athletes along with the public's intelligence, dont write a book and a sequel to sell their lie and make even more money, dont coauthor books of their, supposed, trainer when their training has been planned and supervised by someone else, they dont "donate" money to UCI, they dont pay people to read everything from daily newspapers to internet blogs and threaten those that write things they dont like... I could go on and on on...Eldron said:I for one am glad that Armstrong is the only one that dopes. Can you imagine the carnage if the other cylists started taking drugs too?
What?
Oh.
****.
So why don't we hate them as much?

Its just so sad really. He could have stayed retired and enjoy his life, he could have even returned without the bruhaha, the grandiose statements, just say that he will ride for fun and not for the win, avoid all the leadership ********, ride the Tour quietly, speak about cancer finish 121st and prove that "It's not about the bike"... Instead... Whatever... I am done with the guy...

Very well said. However I read some other cycling news websites and I see the comments on there and it makes me sick. There are people even after everything you state who would love nothing more than see Astana smash the entire field at next years Tour. Where is the fun in that ? or perhaps by that next year Armstrong would have built up enough anti-French sentiment to say he's doing it for the greater good of the foundation and proving the French wrong. Like you say. Whatever.DV1976 said:Probably because they try not to be arrogant bastards that parade their wealth and girlfriends in the media, they dont give ueber-hypocritical interviews, they dont claim that they have performed miracles, dont insult their fellow athletes along with the public's intelligence, dont write a book and a sequel to sell their lie and make even more money, dont coauthor books of their, supposed, trainer when their training has been planned and supervised by someone else, they dont "donate" money to UCI, they dont pay people to read everything from daily newspapers to internet blogs and threaten those that write things they dont like...

"They" don't, because they can't. Armstrong is the only one who has taken the time and effort to create a cult of personality that offends you so much, so he reaps the benefits with stunts like this. Thanks for playing along.DV1976 said:Probably because they try not to be arrogant bastards that parade their wealth and girlfriends in the media, they dont give ueber-hypocritical interviews, they dont claim that they have performed miracles, dont insult their fellow athletes along with the public's intelligence, dont write a book and a sequel to sell their lie and make even more money, dont coauthor books of their, supposed, trainer when their training has been planned and supervised by someone else, they dont "donate" money to UCI, they dont pay people to read everything from daily newspapers to internet blogs and threaten those that write things they dont like...

I'll be having the time of my life if that happens. I'll mail you a puke bucket.There are people even after everything you state who would love nothing more than see Astana smash the entire field at next years Tour. Where is the fun in that?

Are u at least getting paid by Lance or you just like the smell of his ****?IH8LANCE said:"They" don't, because they can't.

Why don't they simply follow the trail of blood bags and syringes?whiteboytrash said:"And he's a moving target. He's very busy. Keeping up with him, testing him, takes a lot of planning and it hasn't all come together yet."
eewwwpoulidor said:Armstrong tries to dodge everyone everytime. Lying and cheating make his live.
Ho hum -- so we're going to go scatological right off the bat? OK, I'll play:DV1976 said:Are u at least getting paid by Lance or you just like the smell of his ****?
I think a life devoted to compulsive avoidance of all things Armstrong is admirable. Really, I do.Oh and just for the record I am not playing along. I dont read his interviews, buy anything that has anything to do with him and if he is even slightly competitive I wont even watch the Tour. Just a couple of days before he announced his comeback I was planning on buying a Trek, the Madonne 5.1. I splashed the cash on an Orbea instead. You see, in contrast to you, I dont love Lance but I do love cycling and I wont have anything to do with someone who 's been its cancer.
Here is the CyclingWeekly version of the interview:whiteboytrash said:Yes it was good interview. The last part which you mention Armstrong scowled at the interviewer and said: "Calm down. Its only cycling. ITS. ONLY. CYCLING". That’s when he looked at the perfect house, the 5 cars in the driveway and the riverview setting and thought: "No its not Lance".
The answer was phrased pursuant to the question:whiteboytrash said:My fav:
Why have so many ex-US Postal riders tested positive or admitted doping retrospectively?
I don't know. We're not in charge of them when they leave. They never tested positive under our guidance.
- Note: They never tested positive not "they didn't dope".
It's usually what the impotent do... Smell arses...IH8LANCE said:Ho hum -- so we're going to go scatological right off the bat? OK, I'll play:
No, but he did give me your mother's telephone number, and her **** smells great.
How's that?
I only responded in kind, douchebag. (ooh, look at that. I'm pitching a tent!)DV1976 said:It's usually what the impotent do... Smell arses...
Have you managed an erection yet or u r venting your anger insulting people at cycling forums?
So after the classic high school "mum" insult you come up with another classic "douchebag". Excellent, so the things we know about you is that your are 16yr old (or never matured beyond that), completely devoid of imagination and intelligence. Oh my God you are Lance Armstrong.IH8LANCE said:I only responded in kind, douchebag. (ooh, look at that. I'm pitching a tent!)
No, but they did admit to doping while under your guidance. See Swart, Stephen, Andreu, Frankie, and a third, anonymous (probably Vaughters) rider.IH8LANCE said:The answer was phrased pursuant to the question:
Q: Why have so many ex-US Postal riders tested positive . . . .?
A: They never tested positive under our guidance.
