Lance Armstrong needs some attention
I'm sorry, but I really think this guy is a phoney-baloney.

LAnce Armstrong = badass
3% chance of beating cancer and not only did he do it, but he also trained through it. If he doesn't deserve some spotlight, I don't know who does....and that's ignoring all the charity work and fundraising he does.

Re: Lance Armstrong needs some attention
With something like cancer there is no way you could put that specific of a number on it. FWIW one account of the story put it at 40% but everything else, including his official website stick with "less than 50%."AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote:cardsfansince82 wrote:Not to diminish anything he has accomplished, but this isn't accurate.AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote: 3% chance of beating cancer

I just think he's an attention whore who needs the "spotlight" and is a PED user.ghostrunner wrote:Huh?stlouie_lipp wrote:I'm sorry, but I really think this guy is a phoney-baloney.

Re: Lance Armstrong needs some attention
I don't disagree, but he's done more for raising cancer awareness and funding research than any other person I can think of, so I give him a pass.stlouie_lipp wrote: I just think he's an attention whore who needs the "spotlight" and is a PED user.

Re: Lance Armstrong needs some attention
Me, too. I like Lance. And, really, aren't most of the competitive cyclists using some sort of PED? Despite the tests, I think it's simply hard to catch them......I still enjoy watching the Tour de France because, PEDs or not, I'm impressed by them, it looks damn difficult.....cardsfansince82 wrote:I don't disagree, but he's done more for raising cancer awareness and funding research than any other person I can think of, so I give him a pass.stlouie_lipp wrote: I just think he's an attention whore who needs the "spotlight" and is a PED user.
For the record, I think he should stay retired. He went out on top......just enjoy life now, for crying out loud. The French will be out to get him, that's for sure.
