Lance Armstrong: I'd Still Dope if I Could Do It Over Again

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong said if he could do it all over again, he would still cheat.

Armstrong, who got his seven Tour de France titles taken away after he admitted that he doped to win every one of those championships, even allegedly bribed an Italian cyclist with $100,000 in an Italian cake box to throw a race for him.

Armstrong told ESPN that all of the riders were doping and he and his team were just doing it less. And that is why he told the magazine that he would still dope if he had to do it all over again.

Before that, during his feeble reign as president of cycling’s governing body throughout
the dope-saturated period of 1991-2005, Verbruggen was a vigorous Armstrong backer.

The Dutchman attacked Armstrong’s accusers in the media, accepted cash donations from
the tainted American and even reportedly did personal investment business with Thom
Weisel, the Silicon Valley financier who funded Armstrong’s corrupt Tour de France teams.

On Monday, Armstrong accused Verbruggen of helping minimize the impact of some of Armstrong’s
suspicious drug test results that, if revealed, might have stopped Armstrong’s career before
he could wreak lasting havoc on the sport’s credibility

He got caught so he is saying look they all cheat. And they do cheat, so I don’t watch the Tour anymore.

Would you like to play in a poker game where everyone was cheating?

With due respect, your post makes no sense. First, bad analogy. Second, I never said I wanted to participate in cycling either way. Third, I was simply making a philosophical point that your question does not address in any way, shape or form.

No, Lance is disgraced because he doped initially…..the lying about it and being a tool added on later.

You know, I always thought that was his “secret weapon” in winning all the time, not dope, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt on this. It’s probably easier to sit and pedal on those little seats with nothing in the sack. And, have you seen their shorts??? How comfortable can that be for a guy?

Lance is disgraced because he dated "one-tissue" Sheryl Crow.

Yeah. I went there.

It’s only relatively recently that they’ve put grooves in bike seats to reduce the problem.

As to comfort: Men with BPH should give up their Tour de France fantasies.

Who can forget how Lance was defended by his dedicated fans on this forum parroting his lies like trained monkeys!

I had a two week argument on another chat site with a woman who insisted Crow was joking about this.

She would NOT give up and neither would I.

Crow was serious.

And more to the point, she's still a serious nut.
