(Video) Lance Armstrong Reduced To Working In A Bicycle Shop?
Free Patriot ^ | April 19, 2014 | Kevin Lake

Has seven time Tour De France champion Lance Armstrong been reduced to working in a bicycle repair shop? Not really, but it does seem that he’s gotten to the point where he’ll take any job that is offered to him.

In this video, Armstrong demonstrates how to change a flat tire on a bicycle. However, it’s not a joke. It’s meant for practical instruction. The makers of the video, Outside Magazine, claim they were shocked that when they approached Armstrong about shooting the video for their website that he actually said yes.

Armstrong won an unprecedented 7 Tour De France championships as well as the hearts of most Americans and people from all over the world. During his winning streak, race officials were accusing him of doping, and most people, especially Americans, were convinced the officials and other competitors were just suffering from “sour grapes.” However, Armstrong failed a drug test in 2012 and in 2013 he admitted that he had indeed deceived the world.

There's a special place in h3ll for people who perpetuate the worst sorts of fraud, conspiracy that go beyond the mere standards of the testicular fortitude, brazen chutzpah required to pull off what most people just don't have within themselves to do.

Barack Obama is one that certainly fits the mold. Whatever guile, sheer outrageous bahllziness he will forever be instilled with, there is that time, there is that place where he can be a fugitive no more.

He may not get the infinite comeuppance to fulfill our justifiable sense of Coliseum blood lust that he most certainly deserves on this Earth, but as God is witness there will be hell to pay when the road to perdition will eventually be his only way home.

Others don't get off that easy. The grandiosity of uni-bahllzyness perpetuated by Lance Armstrong is hardly equaled within the pantheon of arrogance and duplicity in which he will forever be singularly enshrined.

Watching him working off minimum wage when once millions accumulated in homage to his seeming supra-natural athleticism is schadenfreude-on-steroids, the only kind Lance Armstrong would ever allow himself to be displayed by.

I’d give my right b*** to win 7 Tour de Frances!

That would indeed be worse. He probably eschews fries for the unhealthiness of it and still certainly has an affinity for where rubber hits the road.

Be nice to people on your way up because you’ll likely meet them on the way back down.

Whatever his stature is or was I will always have the satisfaction to have one more of whatever it is that he has.

If OJ gets out, he can advertize Ronco kitchen knives.

He is working for a bike shop just long enough to film that video.

The guy is sitting on a ton of ill-gotten bucks.

That is some fine investigative journalism.

However, if the writer had done some research, he would discover that Armstrong owns a bike shop.

Dittos. For me it would be cool to work in a bike shop. I can’t ride as much as I used to but I like the mechanical aspect.

“Reduced to?” It may not be the exciting bike racing circuit, but it’s honest labor and they’re running down honest work.

Well, he certainly has done well for himself. I never realized the extent of his wealth. I was under the impression that the advertisers who paid him to promote their products had demanded he return the monies paid.
Little did I realize.....

Nope. His victories were nullified, meaning I have as many Tour de France medals as he does.
