I could not stand him from day one. People on here would be in some dreamy stance when discussing him and I would say “He sucks” and of course get blasted by the FREEPER Fans of Lance. But I stood firm and was right. I love it when that happens!
I still like Armstrong. All things said and done, one doesn’t become home run king via steroids unless one can already hit the ball at a professional level. It doesn’t change the average next door neighbor into an all pro baseball player.
Applying that to Armstrong, he was a heck of a biker without the steroids.
I believe it was Dennis Miller, though, who spoke the truth. He said something along the line of “The French are pissed because Armstrong beat them at their own doping game.”
IOW, the Europeans weren’t performing at that Mt Everest levels without assistance, and they got hacked because someone came along and did even that better than them.
Do I believe Armstrong that doping is rampant in all pro sports? Probably do. If Armstrong could avoid the detectors for years and years EVEN THOUGH they were hot after him at every turn, then I’m fairly certain that multi-millionaire pro atheletes in the USA can do the same.
What does all this do for Armstrong? I’d say its just marketing. Keeps his name in the news and now he’s a candidate to push some kind of negative product. Maybe they’ll have him do commercials for Colorado Smoking Lounges.
Who knows?
