I was Lances personal assistant for two years, during the height of his racing career. Do I think he cheated? Yep. But my real problem is something that diehard fans seem unable to grasp: the vengeful tactics he uses against people who tell the truth about him, on and off the bike.

Took him a while in the article but he finally admitted it...........Boy, doncha just hate when that happens?
Gee, ya think maybe Mikey's still a little bit pissed off at Lance for not funding that bike shop Mikey always wanted to open?
So, another person has opened themselves up to a liable suit.
Weird, one after another they offer themselves up to be sued into bankruptcy all in an effort get Lance.
THAT is one strange conspiracy.
It took 16 posts but finally someone dragged that lame excuse out.......You might want to read the ex-wife's account
We’re all equal under the law. . . . until we’re winners, then we’re screwed.
Can anyone explain how he cheated and still passed 500 tests.
There are many in Austin, TX who don’t think he’s such a nice guy. His arrogance is well known. No, being a prick doesn’t mean you’re a doper but it does show that he’s not the guy he wants to world to see.
Armstrong finds himself in the unenviable situation that Mark Twain described, a woman trying to prove she's a virgin.
No one can prove he took drugs and he cannot prove he never did despite any number of tests.
Since it costs the accusers nothing to accuse him and they need no proof to make accusations, the “tell all” books and “insider” tales will continue long after the question of guilt or innocence becomes a minor point.
Dude, try telling Elvis fans that their hero was a druggie. You’ll get the same denials you’re seeing here about Saint Lance.
Except that Elvis’ drug use is actually widely documented.
No evidence at all of cheating except the word of a very disgruntled former employee?
Hmmmm... personally, I’d hate to be convicted of anything on such slender evidence.
If Armstrong really was riding dirty during the Tours, and it really did take seven to thirteen years after the fact to figure that out, they’ve got an enforcement problem that dwarfs whatever cheating he might have been doing.
BS! This guy was probably wronged by Lance, true. I think he is a whiner who is seeking retribution; and money.
He had one removed, not both according to all accounts.
I'm sorry but this sounds completely fabricated to me. Andro was never even proven to be effective. I highly doubt someone on the pro level of Armstrong would even risk taking Andro. It was used as a supplement back in the days when you could buy it at Kroger. I do think it had limited effect if you were a body builder and did not want to take illegal steroids. It had the effect to very temporarily spike your testosterone levels. (generally for several hours at best). The effects however were minor strength and muscle mass gains.
I find it odd that it's very common for these "accusers" of pro athletes to say they saw "Andro" when this substance was one of the least if at all effective steroid precursor supplements. My theory on this is that the uninformed know very little about actual performance enhancing drugs so they choose one of the few that's was actually widely known by the public.
Anytime someone accuses a highly paid pro athlete of using "Andro" I immediately put this in the NOT credible category. Pros with big money have access to MUCH more effective and stealthy means to cheat.
” If I may bring it up , he had his testicles removed. He had testicular cancer and they were removed. “
He had one removed, not both according to all accounts.
It still will play havoc on the tests because of increased stimulating hormone, increased pre or epi testosterone to testosterone ratios and then percentage and total testosterone levels. He’s just in a weird physical state that puts the testing and the guidelines in question as to how it deals with a case like this.
Imagine if you will an athlete given the choice of having his testicles removed and then being able to use as much testosterone as possible. I’m sure there are many that would make the choice especially with the money involved and the technology we have.
Elvis wasn't drug tested following every concert, Armstrong was tested following every race........
It's you and Para ord who are living a life of denial....
Oops, sorry, I posted a reply to this post on another thread.........doesn’t matter, both of your commets were equally stupid.
Oh, yes, it’s the old lame “That’s different!”
