I think Bobke put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. A lot of those people have to now realize how impossible it was for Armstrong, clean, to beat doped riders.
I think that's why he got out of cycling. I think he wants to distance himself from it. He'll never be able to come back. The cleaner it gets the more his performances will be scrutinized.
You know, the thing of it is, he's such an egotistical pile of ****, you have to wonder what kind of person would pick him as their hero? I mean, what the ****? And here's the other thing: sadly, about half Americans really identify with his in-your-face ******** and buy off on his "I beat cancer and won the Tour" ****. For **** sake. Go back 18-24 months ago when all that Lance **** was at it's height. The level of stupidity on this site, much less paceline.com, was astounding. I went over to paceline ready to go off and I didn't even know where to begin. I just left and never went back.
I have a feeling, when the smoke clears a couple years after the Bush presidency, I'll have same righteous feelings. "Hey you bunch of ****ing morons, did you think it could possibly be true?"
