No one ...I have been a pro rider for over 12 years. No one repeat no one rides clean. If they do they lose. Lose too many times and your sponsor says adios. Lance was a great rider who enhanced his God given gift with EPO and other pharmaceuticals. As is the case with many great athletes. I would also add that chemotherapy also directly enhanced his riding by seriously decreasing his muscle and skeletal mass whilst his heart and lungs stayed the same. Just look at the photos, it is not the same person pre and post chemo. Did he catch cancer while doping? Probably. Should he be truthful as Lyle Alzado was so many years ago? Well that is up to him. He is lying to himself and to the public and trading it in for fame, fortune and glory. It is all about choices and karma . . . oh I all most forgot MONEY!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-12935119158554909432007-05-31T16:00:00.000-05:002007-05-31T16:00:00.000-05:00I have no problem with what you've said, because I...I have no problem with what you've said, because I don't care all that much about the issue.<BR/><BR/>However, I entirely resent the implications in your last sentence, and you have no right to make such a judgment call.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-77385780610121011622007-05-31T15:52:00.000-05:002007-05-31T15:52:00.000-05:00anoyomous,i agree with dd when said that you shoul...anoyomous,<BR/><BR/>i agree with dd when said that you shouln't be relating lance armstrong to your mother.. she has nothing to do with him or the situation. Did you know that testicular cancer is most commonly found in men that are between the ages of 20-35?.. and what?.. lance armstrong was 25 at the time when his cancer was detected?.. can't anybody just think that maybe he got the cancer..just because he got cancer.. not because he had steriods...?<BR/><BR/>He was an amazing athlete as a teen, being a triathelete. i doubt he was on steriods when he was 16.. or even when he qualified for the olympics?.. so why do we think as soon as he gets cancer it's steriod reltated?... <BR/><BR/>The only reason why he is being claimed to be on steriods is because<BR/>1. he is famous<BR/>2. he is a good athelete.<BR/>3. he is sportmanlike<BR/>4. people think he is too good to be real<BR/>5. he is giving. and cares ( creaing The Lance Armstrong Foundation)<BR/>6. he has been the only one to win the TOur de France 7 times in a row<BR/><BR/>what is wrong with any of those... <BR/>people are jsut assuming steriod use because he is good at something.. because he is a good person. and somebody that everyone should look up to.. somebody who is just trying to make the world a better place!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>And i give props to your mother for believing in lance armstrong. she should have continued. and you shouldn't have stopped her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-1158165513304033462006-09-13T11:38:00.000-05:002006-09-13T11:38:00.000-05:00You've got a point about the tight shorts, Blue Co...You've got a point about the tight shorts, Blue Collar Goddess.

First of all, my mother was about 70 years old when she got cancer. Lance Armstrong was in his 20s. My mother wasn't a world class athlete in a field rife with steroid use. She did, however, use a great deal of solvents over a period of many years, as she was always refinishing furniture and redoing wooden floors, etc. Solvents are said to "eat" ovarian cells and are suspected of causing cancer. Hence, we have an entirely different cause of cancer. If my mother had survived, she doubtlessly would have used her intense integrity to investigate and expose the cause of her cancer.<BR/><BR/>It isn't merely "lying" that makes one psycho. It's the whole situation, which affects a great deal of others in order to protect this kind of lie. This isn't a "little white lie."<BR/><BR/>I fail to see the superior logic or rationality in your remarks, frankly. In fact, they seem to be somewhat tasteless. But thanks for the kudos, I guess.Acharya Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091289754963053674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24006920.post-1158126419085969182006-09-13T00:46:00.000-05:002006-09-13T00:46:00.000-05:00Is it logical to conclude your mother used steroid...Is it logical to conclude your mother used steroids because she developed ovarian cancer?<BR/><BR/>(Sorry, just my INTP "Rational" character immediately zeros in on potential problems with the logic. We might also conclude your mother did NOT use steroids because she didn't survive the cancer while Lance did. Perhaps steroids helps you survive cancer. Not sure how lying makes one a psycho... But it's always interesting to read what you have to say. Your NF character shines through [if I'm right about you being type NF, only you can say. Hope you read the book someday.])Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
