Most cyclists understand the reasons for using whatever edge one can to win, especially when its as pervasive as it was. The bullying is another story. Pressuring Trek to end its relationship with Le Mond Bicycles is hard to forgive.
Lance, you’re focusing the anger we feel on your doping when it’s all about how you destroyed people to protect yourself and your lie, and you haven’t made it right with them still to this day. You think you have, but you really haven’t.
Why would you celebrate a guy who used his influence to bully and destroy lives. At the end of the day no one cares that he cheated, but we should care about how he treated other people.
I think it's clear to say he might be a narcissist, to be fair ones mental health is something that cannot be controlled and quite possible hormone balances would have been affected by drug use, to answer your question I think people are interested in lance because they want to understand what high level sport is like, in reality sport is extremely cut threat, big buissnes men everywhere, they are encouraged to act out and now from lances mistake we can get a insight into what it takes to be a high level athlete
Steve Porter By the way, just whose life did he destroy??? Lemond is doing great, Betsy is getting the attention she always wanted, etc... Who exactly are you referring to? You say he tried to destroy lives, but they actually struck the first blow by trying to out him as a doper which would, of course, ruin his life. So really he was trying to defend what he felt was rightly his. I'm no Lance Armstrong fan, but I try to look at the big picture, and I just don't see him as quiet as bad as some folks make him out to be.
+Steve Porter You know they are friends now, right? They text back and forth about life, his kids and she asks for his advice and opinions about things. So, if she's forgiven him, whats the problem?
If Lance loses the government whistleblower case he will probably lose pretty much everything he owns. I wonder if people will still hate the guy then? Surely Floyd Landis doesn't deserve that money. He was a lying doper too, but he will become rich beyond his wildest dreams if the case is won by the govt.
I hope he doesn't lose the case. I am tired of Lance being the ONE man who has to pay for all cyclists sins from 1999 to present. It's complete bullishit. He shouldn't have to take that burden alone. That entire generation is guilty.
And Ronnie "Light Weight" Coleman was 5'10" at 292lb at 3% bodyfat. Chest size 65", Arm size 24.5" & Quads 38" almost as impressive as Sonny Liston's 15.5 Fist Size.
The central lesson to be learned from the entire Lance Armstrong debacle: Don't Be A Jerk. The truth is that if Lance had simply been a nicer person, more humble, and less arrogant he would still "officially" be a 7 time TdF winner, a pseudo-celebrity, and perhaps raising lots of money for charities. So there ya go boys and girls: Follow the Golden Rule and everything else will take care of itself.
This is the way to talk with Lance. Too often interviewers want to corner him and the interview suffers. Lance is willing to talk, but any conversation requires common courtesy and respect.
Dan,only out of childlike curiosity, how did Lance personally sit with you at the time of the interview and what would the "ceremonial"hanging of the yellow jersey and it's corresponding disquisition be and sound like. The questions asked by you were excellent and we're answered with equal and heartfelt excellence. Great interview. Stripped of the yellow dress, funny as hell.
If all you see when you look at Lance Armstrong is a "doper" then that's really sad. He has been through living hell -- whether he brought it on himself or not is irrelevant -- and is very mentally tough with an ungodly amount of heart. All he did was beat other people who "doped" as well. He still overcame cancer, inspired millions, and would have LAID DOWN HIS LIFE to win at his craft. Also, he is very intelligent and well-spoken. Go after some of the politicians ruining our country or give the tax dollars to the homeless if you want to help this country. Don't spend it "defrauding" someone who inspired so many.
Lance is hard not to like, seems like a cool dude on the surface. I wish he didn't posses the coldness and ruthlessness in his character that allowed him to hurt, deeply disrupt and ruin peoples livelyhoods to keep his secrete. Maybe he's the perfect competitor because of it and without it none of us would have ever known the name Lance Armstrong?
I just think Lance is right on about the media, they will try and hold back the argument of what should be legal, this discussion should be fact and health based. If HGH is shown to have little to no long-term health affects then why not allow athletes and normal people alike to use it if it is beneficial?
What do you know about HGH? Doctors administer it to patients in varying degrees for varying reasons.....are doctors wrong? Do they know what they're doing?..... HGH is a medicine and supplement of the future, and in 30 years we will literally laugh at people like you who ever questioned using HGH to maximize performance.
Andrew Sundberg First off? Your argument itself was severely flawed since we're talking of athetic performance and not of medical uses . Secondly, FDA lists approved and unapproved reasons to consume HGH.If the drug was used for reasons other than approved, which can be determined by examining medical records, that is a violation of the law.Thirdly, anecdotal evidence of the side effects of HGH make it a last resort drug and will not be used extensively and definitely not as OTC supplement.
You are taking a snapshot in time right now, which I didn't mention did I?.....Nope, I said in 30 years it will used commonly for a variety of reasons and people like you will be thought of like those who used to deny that the world was round.
Andrew Sundberg I dont deny its use.As a science student and a future medical professional, I will support its use for the right reasons.But i disagree that it'll be used for a "variety" of reasons.It'll be like Testosterone and EPO:Limited use for limited reasons and often only in extreme circumstances.
Lance cant oppologize, he did it and thats it. He won amongst other dopers. It was the best tours i watched. He raised so much for people with cancer. All the sponsors at the time had their moneys worth in publicity, knowingly of the risk.
Say what u want all those lance was competing against were doping as well so he still a great cyclist. You have to think about all the money he raised for sick ppl.. and himself
If he hadn't doped you probably wouldn't even know his name and the winner of those tours would be getting screwed for doping instead of Lance. So quit bitching people. Lance is the 7 TIME TOUR DE FRANCE WINNER!!!
7 times……..dude won the fucking Tour de France 7 times…….7…….think about that….look into it…..that thing is grueling…..oh and by the way, after he had cancer…..say what you will about Lance, but good god……dude literally did the impossible 7 times…….if he wasn’t such a dick about it, I think things would be different, but damn….7 times….

Running Frankie Andreu out of the sport is also unforgivable. FA is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
Lance, you’re focusing the anger we feel on your doping when it’s all about how you destroyed people to protect yourself and your lie, and you haven’t made it right with them still to this day. You think you have, but you really haven’t.
Bring him back on more often , lance is always a good interview .

Yet the NFL has 6 foot 6 Monsters weighing 270 lbs running a 4:40 40.
And Ronnie "Light Weight" Coleman was 5'10" at 292lb at 3% bodyfat. Chest size 65", Arm size 24.5" & Quads 38" almost as impressive as Sonny Liston's 15.5 Fist Size.

So there ya go boys and girls: Follow the Golden Rule and everything else will take care of itself.
The central lesson should be don't cheat in professional sports and attempt to absolutely destroy lives of people who suspect that you are.
This is the way to talk with Lance. Too often interviewers want to corner him and the interview suffers. Lance is willing to talk, but any conversation requires common courtesy and respect.
Lance Armstrong doesn't deserve respect. He is a lowlife scumbag.
Wow to have the balls to sue & win against publications who accused him of doping...
Yep. He was a smart cat. He knew what he was doing.
Dan,only out of childlike curiosity, how did Lance personally sit with you at the time of the interview and what would the "ceremonial"hanging of the yellow jersey and it's corresponding disquisition be and sound like.

Great interview.
Stripped of the yellow dress, funny as hell.

RiddleMeThat was his cancer related to his doping?
Yawn
Name 5 other dopers who used threats and intimidation like he did. Should be easy, right?
I have as many Tour de France wins as Lance.
Yellow Jersey that’s been revoked. LoL.
human beings aren't perfect and that is something that will never change.
DP is legendary. Has there been a better interviewer?
Lance would be a great interview on Howard Stern.
Howard the sell out.
F your freedom
If you don't want the shirt, I'll have it!
I'm surprised at the 70% too.
Lance is good shit....I like that guy.
Love the guy...He's suffered enough and no matter what IS a 7 time winner of the TDF, period.
Not a winner at all! He cheated and his titles were taken away from him. Lance will forever be remembered as a cheat and a liar! Also a bully!
I have as many Tour de France wins as Lance
Yeah you don’t know him as a friend don’t want to know him as an enemy.
the whole sport is doped .......He just was trying to keep up
What?! That makes it alright?!
LA is sick weirdo with ego size of Jupiter. He was way ahead in doping. I feel betrayed. Ex fan.
If the whole sport is doped
There is no sport
...
Good interview

Lance is still a manipulator, he didn't come clean
I have as many Tour de France wins as Lance
You better hang that shit up. Lance is a goon.
I just think Lance is right on about the media, they will try and hold back the argument of what should be legal, this discussion should be fact and health based. If HGH is shown to have little to no long-term health affects then why not allow athletes and normal people alike to use it if it is beneficial?
Because the reason steroids are banned is because roids help increase the body's hormones to SUPER PHYSIOLOGICAL levels, something supplements dont do
What do you know about HGH? Doctors administer it to patients in varying degrees for varying reasons.....are doctors wrong? Do they know what they're doing?..... HGH is a medicine and supplement of the future, and in 30 years we will literally laugh at people like you who ever questioned using HGH to maximize performance.

Dan Patrick likes him because he got played by Lance!
An evolver who can't tell the truth, sure his millions make him full of clarity.

Lance threatened and destroyed lives
Of people who told the truth.
He should be in jail
Most people deserve a second chance....Lance Armstrong is NOT one of them!
I'd put Lance Armstrong in the same category as people like Bill Cosby, Jorden Belfort and Jeffrey Dahmer.
@@sullivanbiddle9979 lol that's a little strong
He hasn’t changed a bit.. disappointing.
He's always been a lowlife scumbag and always will be.
Classic Narcissist!
He's a winner, you're not. You'll always be a loser. How does that make you feel?
Still the best regardless..it happens!
