You mean to tell me that Lance Armstrong is down to his last 125 million dollars and now as Free Patriot has exposed the fact he has to work for minimum wage?

There was a time not all that long ago, that a person could survive in America when they only had 125 million dollars to their name.

Maybe if Mr. Armstrong finds that his minimum wage job at that bike shop does not help him work his way out of his economic hole, the fine folks of Free Patriot will chip in a bit of their pocket change to help Lance avoid the cruelty of homelessness.

If you are wearing headphones, beware! The T-Mobile add that comes first will blow you ears off. The volume control will not work. Take your earphones off your ears!

A truly despicable person, not only lies about his lifelong fraud & ill-gotten gains, lawyer's up, bullies & sues those attempting to expose his lies and fraud.

Bike shops are small businesses, and I can imagine that they have been feeling the sting under the queer in charge’s administration.

So, sure, a helpful video, that anyone that has a bicycle can benefit from!

I cannot believe Armstrong is still saying he’s a 7 time TdF winner. Oh wait, this is the same nutcase who lied to Oprah during his confession, so I can.

Had Armstrong only come in second in 7 TDF's nobody would have given him the time of day........

The other top 10 riders all breathed a sigh of relief since the focus on Armstrong kept the drug nazis away from them.........

Bike Ping

Many people on our TDF ping list have heard me say I think athletes should be free to use what ever training aids, or substances they wish and be willing to suffer the consequences. Sports is entertainment and people watch to see amazing accomplishments. To me it's hardly different than all the entertainers we watch who are cut, stuffed, nipped and botoxed to the point that they no longer resemble the persons they once were.

I think if all people in all sports at the time they were turning pro were given the choice of using PEDs and explained the physical ramifications over 90% would take the option to use them.

I also believe that if the media and record keeping authorities would find a way to put an asterisk beside the name of a winner using drugs the culture might turn out to be the change.

However, because of the traditions and contemporary conditions of a sport I love, Lance brought shame on himself and an ugly cloud over the game. He knew the chances he was taking and paid the price.

With all that being said, I refer back to the opening statement in #1 and ask people to look at the savage treatment of Lance and compare it to the back twisting contortions the media goes through to create a false image and protect the legacies of people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The enemy is not human weakness, faulty character or Performance Enhancing Drugs - it is the American media and we have to do much more work in holding them accountable. They should be consistently exposed and ridiculed in every way possible, in my opinion.

During his interview with Oprah Winfrey in January 2013, Lance estimated that the loss of endorsement deals from this scandals will cost him a minimum of $75 million over the next few years.

Lance’s personal income is one thing but the impact upon
income for others such as Livestrong are there. His actions
cross many lines.

Don’t know about anyone else but I’m ready for it to start today.

Also since I don’t really keep up with transfers, new teams and which teams are racing in this year’s tour - if you two get any good gossip post it and ping everybody.

Lance would go out of his way to intimidate those who spoke the truth and went as far as getting off mid-flight, flying back to a restaurant just to try strike fear into another cycle`s heart about openly speaking about the doper.

Worst part, “freepers” defended him.
