I imagine his competitors felt similar to how we feel now, but they dealt with it for decades. And even though his titles were stripped, I don't think they were awarded to the other cyclists.

...who were similarly cheating. Facts are stubborn things, but professional bicycle racing is actually three activities: bicycle riding; cheating; and avoiding detection of cheating.
Armstrong still won the Tour de France seven times in a row with one testicle after beating cancer and a vast field of other riders, who were also similarly cheating. Those techniques are endemic to the sport, sanctimony notwithstanding. His remains a spectacular feat of unimaginable human achievement and pain tolerance that will probably never be equaled. Nobody rigged a series of machines so that he could win without even competing, like Biden.
That said, the example illustrates that fraud can indeed vitiate everything.
If he was willing to let one of his balls get sliced off for a cover story,...then in a sense he's even a bigger stud for winning 7 Tour de Frances in a row with one nut than he was before.
"On October 10, 2012, USADA released hundreds of pages of evidence—including sworn testimony from 11 of Armstrong’s former teammates, as well as emails, financial documents and lab test results—that the anti-doping agency said demonstrated Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Service team had been involved in the most sophisticated and successful doping program in the history of cycling. A week after the USADA report was made public, Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his cancer foundation and was dumped by a number of his sponsors, including Nike, Trek and Anheuser-Busch.On October 22, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the cycling’s world governing body, announced that it accepted the findings of the USADA investigation and officially was erasing Armstrong’s name from the Tour de France record books and upholding his lifetime ban from the sport. In a press conference that day, the UCI president stated: “Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling.”
"
“Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling.”
LOL Lance Armstrong's name will forever be synonymous with cycling and with doing what no one else has ever done no matter how much they doped, winning seven championships in a row after surviving cancer. He beat all those other dopers on those mountains. He deserves to be and will be remembered forever in cycling.
Anyone think that maybe the Postal Service being involved might have something to do with this not being that big? I remember the cancer, him winning and then losing everything but never once heard a blip about the fucking USPS! Huh?
We also need public executions. Ww2 tjeybdidnt hang enough nazis after the war. We let 150k of them here so we could start the fag shows NASA and CIA. Why didn't they execute all the leadership during the Nuremberg trials? It was all for show they likely all survived. Tiredness being lied to yet. This time i wznt to see it public.
I was thinking about this the other day. My dog laid a turd on a blanket in the living room and it completely ruined it. Had to throw it out and replace it. And then it clicked…fraud, like shit, vitiates everything.
A leader is NOT someone who wins elections, fraudulent or not. A leader is someone that people follow. The VAST majority of Americans follow President Trump. I don't care who sits in the (w)hite (h)ouse.
I have a suspicion that the Deep State is going to cross a line and do something disastrous, killing a LOT of innocent people in the process. This would be the event that causes the final tipping point for when the Military finally makes public arrests.
Not saying Lance didn't cheat by getting some pumped up blood but I'll bet if he had been French, nothing would have been said. I'll also bet every single one of them cheated one way or the other. Just like body building, Arnold said if you didn't use steroids, you wouldn't stand a chance to win because all of them use them.
The cheating has been rampant. Look at the Russians getting a caught up in doping. Although knowing what I know now - did they really do it?
And has anyone paid attention to the tennis world? Serena decides not to go to Olympics, young American star withdrew from French Open not wanting to deal with media (cited depression), and Federer is not going (supposed injury.) Just the way events have unfolded have made my antennae prick up. Basketball, track star, tennis, golf - methinks something is happening behind the scenes.
It has been so disgusting to hear Sean Hannity say that there is no way Trump could be put back in office, even if the election was proven to be fraudulent, because he doesn't see any Constitutional support for such a thing. The people associated with Fox are so corrupt! I would love to see what is being used against all of them to downplay the blatant evidence of fraud, and pretty much ignore the AZ audit!
Does not apply to elections the case that is cited is a business contract. Every election has some amount of fraud be it one person cheats and votes twice or some other small crime and usually both.sides. have at least some small amount. This is not a great quote to use. The judges were actually on track saying there is not enough fraud to change the outcome. We will have to prove them wrong on that field of honor.
Any fraud is enough to send individual perps to jail over though
Everyone knows the big league cyclists are dopers, I'm just curious why Armstrong of all people was thrown under the bus. Was he supposed to throw the 7th and quietly retire for a major betting fix?
Here's another example you all might not remember:
Remember when the USC Trojan football team was stripped of their 2004 National Championship because one of their players, Reggie Bush, was receiving "extra benefits from a would-be sports marketer?" The NCAA sanctioned the entire team, "which included a two-year ban from postseason play and a loss of 30 scholarships over three seasons."
Because of all this, there is still "no BCS national champion in the record book for the 2004-05 season."

This would make for an interesting movie plot!
Check out the movie "Tour de Pharmacy"
That's pretty much all professional sports.
And college too.
True, and there were other cyclists.
Lucky for us, there are only 2 finalists. Joe or Trump.
Give the diamonds back Joe!
The cheating was so rampant because it was required to keep up with Armstrong.
I recall an article from back during that time, that stated for one of the races the top 16 slots were doing the thing.

Did he really have testicular cancer or was that a cover story to account for high testosterone and other drug levels in his system?
If he was willing to let one of his balls get sliced off for a cover story,...then in a sense he's even a bigger stud for winning 7 Tour de Frances in a row with one nut than he was before.
There would 50% less sauce.

He cheated mate get over it.
They all cheat mate get over it.
Yup. Most pro athletes are on PEDS their is just to much money and fame on the line not to be.
i Couldn't give a fuck you moron
I could give a "Fuck you, moron."
In fact you're ripe for one. So there yuh go, wanker. Now sod off.
Shouldn't you be wanking to your Drug cheat videos.
I read this, too! Great Analogy! Trump's is pretty d*mn good, too 'When you steal the diamonds and get caught, you don't get to keep the diamonds!'

Until something happens, it hasn't happened.
Q, throw us a bone please. No matter how small. Some patriots are antsy.

Mass distribution of the kill-shot?
Houston Astros.
I hang my head in shame because after YEARS of supporting the Astros with no win seasons they FINALLY win and THEN we find out they CHEATED!!
It matters to me that other teams cheat also. I won't support them until I know that they have won honorably.
Without honor we are nor different than (((them))).

Cheating is the pro athlete's way to win. They didn't go to the Olympics because of the little cup they have to pee in!!
Serena Williams is the most obvious doper of all time. Her biceps would still be pretty impressive if she was a man.

I didn't know he said that; I never listen to him. Thanks for sharing that.

... and now they can't even peddle down the road without hitting a spectator and having a massive pile up
If he kept his prize money, then he kept what was important to him. Titles mean nothing to cheaters. They want the money.
