He’s a victim of an extended witch hunt by people who were P.O.’d at his victories.

There's only about 500 or so piss tests that SAY HE DIDN'T, but they don't count, huh?
Yeah, I think he’s just tired of the fight. Giving it up doesn’t really mean anything because people have long since made their decisions about the man.
Good article.
Classic lawfare. Keep bombarding your enemy with lawsuits and investigations until they run out of money or just get worn down and give up the defense. Guilt or innocence is immaterial if you can just use superior wealth or resources to grind your enemy down into nothing.
>>First of all, Lance Armstrong is a good man. There’s nothing that I can learn about him short of murder that would alter my opinion on that.
What a dumb thing to say...there is lots of things that I could learn about Lance, or anyone else, that would make me think someone is not ‘a good man’. Kind of makes anything else this dumb author has to say meaningless.
Don’t know if the charges are true or not, but declaring someone innocent/good - no matter what facts might come up - is more than a little moronic.
The hate and envy in the some of the comments on that piece are eye opening.
As for the assertion that Lance Armstrong is a good man...I don't buy that. In addition to the lying, there's the fact that he divorced his wife when their children were very young and has since not married a girlfriend who bore his child. This is not “good” behavior. In a country where more than 50% of babies born to women under thirty are born out of wedlock, a sports hero who could marry the mother of his child, but doesn't, is not a good role model.
I'll bet much of the determination to dethrone LA does originate with anti-Americanism and envy of his success. However, I am 100% pro USA and pro-success and I think Lance Armstrong should indeed be dethroned.
“TEN witnesses who would give detailed testimony”
Have they given that testimony?

Lance is a good man? There are many in the cycling community who would disagree. Here is the latest example:

He’s a great athlete and an inspiration to millions. These corrupt sports bureaucrats did not erase his accomplishments. They just turned their own record books into a meaningless farse.
Please provide documentation of one...just one test out of the over 500 he has taken that concludes he was doping.
Still waiting....
What was the sci-fi book about the global sport competition to the death where athletes had to choose to “boost” in exchange for earlier death?
