Thanks for the sarcasm - you sound like Democrat. Lance is a roid head. He just found a better doctor. People on the tour knew he was and he still is. He has a very unpleasant personality and he dumped his wife for Cherly Crowe which was a dumb move. Dumped Sheryl when she got cancer.

I thought Radio Shack went out of business. I guess just their store in San Francisco did.

They’ve closed some stores, but they are still around.
I think its a pretty shrewd move by them.
RadioShack sells alot of technology, including cellphones and communications devices, and that can be a huge marketing tie-in since the TDF teams now using wireless communications between the riders and the team cars.
And they’ll do lots of cross marketing with Lance’s LiveStrong charity.

Sheesh. What the heck was I thinking? Radio Shack is still very much alive in San Francisco. I was thinking of Circuit City.

He is an “all about me” person and we have enough of those already.

Reluctantly, I have to agree. His comeback is really amazing though, whether he gets knocked off the podium tomorrow or not. I expect Frank Schleck to do it. Well, cycling is full of prima donna's anyway. Same as it ever was.

Lance is a roid head. He just found a better doctor. People on the tour knew he was and he still is.

Lance was not a good stage racer until cancer treatments took away a lot of his mass. Why on earth would he take steroids which would put weight back on?

Also, how good is this doctor? Who is this doctor? Lance is one of the most tested athletes, if not the most tested athlete, in the world. He has been tested 11 times (so far) in this tour alone. I don't care how good the doctor is there would be a slip up at some point. I will never understand why it is so hard for people to accept that great physical gifts matched with an iron will and incredible work ethic will net incredible results.

he dumped his wife for Cherly Crowe

His wife dumped him. She did not want to live in Europe for 6 months out of the year for him to train.

Dumped Sheryl when she got cancer.

Sheryl also dumped him.

Thats just it. He’s not dominating the field, but he is getting credit for doing so. He is having a pretty good tour, but not a dominant one. However, hearing all the coverage, you would think he has a 20 minute lead on the next competitor.

anything to write off in taxes... you can believe it....

Bilious hateful and blind is what you are.

If Lance walked on water you'd say he couldn't swim.

You sound irrational and vindictive. I think it's Democrats that based their opinions on feelings rather than facts at hand, so that would be you, no?

Lance is a roid head. He just found a better doctor.

You just know that's true. You have no evidence whatsoever, and nothing that would lead anybody to believe it, other than his success. You just know it somehow. Must be a good doctor. That's it. That's the only think that can explain hundreds of negative tests when others were getting busted left and right. Yep. Doper for sure.

he dumped his wife for Cherly Crowe

No, he didn't.

Do you always form your opinions based on unsubstantiated rumors started by jealous Frenchmen and outright falsehoods?

That is pretty funny. Even if he didn’t really say that I think there is some truth to it.

Also nice to see The Onion taking it to the Chinese.

goodness gracious...so defensive! must have hit a sore nerve. ...
I don’t make stuff up.. just don’t say someone is right when they are not. Actually, armstrong is usually not even on my radar... no more than the obamanation is... I generally select what I think about, not read my “opinion” in the MSM which adores idols.
