I also abused a substance to “improve” my life. Mine was alcohol, but the effect was the same. And of course there’s the denial, which most of us addicts engaged in for years before getting help and which in Armstrong’s case seems rather epic.

What a wonderful world! I’ll never buy any Armstrong’s LPs any more!
Laurie, you didn’t go after people who told the truth about you or lie about it for years. It’s not the substance abuse... people know that happens. It’s the repeated covering up of it while he was competing.
Lying, cheating, deceit, corruption, self-serving interest, tactics of personal destruction aimed at critics or those tyring to get to the truth resulting in people getting harmed. What is the big deal? We see our government do this every damn day.
Nothing to see here, move on.
FULA
Yes, Laurie Dhue me. . .
Laurie Dhue thinks alcohol helped her career in the same way?
She's delusional.
If he cheated, he cheated.
See example sentence immediately above.
I was able to overhear a private cell call this afternoon:
Armstrong: Hey Mant’i T’eo, this is Lance Armstrong.
T’eo: Hey, How are you doing?
Armstrong: Thank you! Thank you!
But when you're talking about a sport where almost everybody is doping I can understand him being angry with fellow dopers who turn on him and testify against him.
So yes, phooey on Lance, he's no role model. I just don't want to make heroes out of accusers who may have their own dirty laundry.
GIVE ME A BREAK. There is absolutely no moral equivalence. Unbelievable.
Lance armstrong should run for president...to bad he’s not part of a minority group.
Otherwise, he has all the qualifications.
Lie,cheat and run over everyone on your path to the top.
What is endlessly fascinating? Is how the world is appauled at armstrong for manipulating his way to the top...hahaha
The media...ahhaha..funny stuff.
I know a person who uses “performance enhancing drugs”, and he is the biggest ******* on the face of the earth. Not saying there’s a connection, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Google “roid rage”.
“Armstrong has destroyed anyone who has been successful in cycling,” LeMond said.
LeMond, a 51-year-old Californian, won the Tour in 1986, 1989 and 1990. He said he won the race without resorting to performance enhancing drugs because of his talent and dubbed Armstrong’s cycling talent only average at best.
“If Armstrong had given Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton the same stuff he was taking, he would never have won — they would have beaten him,” LeMond said.

Laurie lowers herself to put a sociopath-ic power addict on the same plane as her alcohol addiction. Armstrongs sins were not that he was “addicted” to these “drugs”, but that he was a lying calculating cheater who would knock anyone down who challenged his web of lies.
I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.
Has the possibility of his drug use bringing on the testicle cancer been brought up?
If so, would that mean that the cancer that he garnered all the sympathy for, may have been as a result of his own doing???
