    We don't know what Lance has said in the investigation. Publicly the only comments I see he him state repeatedly is that he has never tested positive, not that he hasn't never doped.

    I feel really sorry for the people wasting their time trying to bring Lance down only to fail over and over again. Seems like such a massive waste of time.

    You guys are delusional. The really funny part about it is that you all KNOW that he cheated and doped, but that you do not care. You just hope he can keep up his web of lies.

    He was found not guilty by the cycling governing body in Spain. However, the UCI and WADA have appealed and the hearing is set for early June

    Exactly. Doping in Cycling, and other sports I'm sure, was at a point (and probably still is) where the tests were easily beaten or there was not test for the drugs being used. Several people have admitted to doping and were never caught so the whole not testing positive excuse doesn't hold much water.

    Additionally, whether you believe him or not, Landis and others are claiming that there were actual cover-ups on the Lance's tests.

    I'm don't want to say Lance is guilty, especially for all that he has done for cycling and his foundation, but it isn't not looking good.

    Not as much as you will be when Zach Randolph puts on 40 lbs this offseason and goes back to eternal suckage now that he got his deal.

    I'm just joshing you bro. I am guilty of trolling you a bit I admit. We are still Futbol friends, no?:cool:


    But I still take Lance's side because well, I'm American.

    And that is the truth - you guys know that he did it, but you don't care - because he is American. That's silly.

    Greg LeMond is also American, and Armstrong threatened him. Landis is American. Tyler Hamilton is American.

    Don't side with the cheater. Side with those Americans who have come clean.

    Armstrong is not only a cheater, he is like the head of a mafia cartel.

    Armstrong threatened my life, claims LeMond

    LeMond, who won the Tour de France in 1986, 1989, 1990, said that he had come under pressure from Armstrong and his circle of friends after saying in 2001 that he was disappointed at the Texan cyclist's association with Italian sports doctor Michele Ferrari.

    LeMond said Sunday that the threats continued after 2001.

    "Lance threatened me. He threatened my wife, my business, my life," LeMond told French sports daily L'Equipe.

    "His biggest threat consisted of saying that he (Armstrong) would find ten people to testify that I took EPO," said LeMond, who was the first American to win the Tour de France.

    Yawn, more he-said-she-said.

    So Lance is capable of ruining people's lives, lying, extorting them... but the same can't be done to him?

    Do you see the irony in that you're trusting this dude's claim that Lance would get "10 people to testify he took EPO", yet you feel that every single testimony against Lance is 100% authentic and proof positive of impropriety?

    You seem to have a curious legal standard when it comes to Armstrong vs. anyone else.

    What curious legal standard?

    Do you see the irony that you are willing to take one man's word over that of many people who have been around this person for years and know exactly what he did, when all the evidence suggests that they are speaking the truth?

    I never said that every single testimony is 100 % accurate. But there is so much credible testimony independently from each other that says he doped, and the only thing that stands against that is him pointing out that he (supposedly) never tested positive. Obviously he has a significant interest (also financial interest) in never admitting that he used PED.

    The whole sport of cycling is corrupt from the core, and so many people are involved, even the team doctors who are basically violating their oath and rationalizing it to themselves.

    I am not saying he is the only one who doped, they almost all do, but as I said, he was at the center of the system...like a Mafia godfather.

    I remember one instance where one driver said something and he organized a "punishment" for that driver and put his finger on his lips. Something like that. Totally mafia-esque.

    I'm sure none of these guys saw him take it. But I wouldn't be surprise if Armstrong isn't clean.

    I'm not "taking Lance's word", I'm waiting on the evidence.

    A bunch of people playing he-said-she-said doesn't count.

    I'm not "taking Glenn Beck's word" by not believing he raped a girl in 1990, despite somebody saying he did.

    Burden of proof, show me the hard evidence, etc.
