Lance Armstrong needs some attention

Post by stlouie_lipp »

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.

Not to diminish anything he has accomplished, but this isn't accurate.

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%."

I just think he's an attention whore who needs the "spotlight" and is a PED user.

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.

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.....

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.
