| | A woman at work, who has no interest in cycling whatsoever, told me how Armstrong was the main inspiration for her husband when he fought cancer – and lost. When he was ill to sit up in bed reading he would listen to Armstrong's audio book and had tears in his eyes. He would say things like: "If Armstrong can win Tour the France after having cancer, the surely I can manage to survive this". He didn't but his widow always held Amstrong in high esteem after that. Whenver she saw one of those yellow rubber bands she thought of her late husband's final weeks. Except now. She just hates the lying cunt - not so much cheating in sport, but for messing with the minds of millions of cancer patients. |

| | you lot are all liars http://lancearmstrong.com/bio " Lance's Story If scripted by Hollywood, the story would be dismissed as trite melodrama: A deadly disease strikes a promising athlete. Despite desperately thin odds, he manages not only to beat the affliction but also to return to the sport and win its top prize, not once but a record seven times. Unbelievable, except it's true. But the story doesn't end on the finish line at the Tour de France. His experience made him a part of a cancer community, and motivated him to unleash the same passion and drive he does in bike races to the fight against cancer. Since he made history in 1999, he has won the tour six more times, and has become one of the most recognizable and admired people of this era. " |

To me, the biggest fraud in the whole thing has always been the equivocation of testicular cancer with all other kinds of cancer that Armstrong used implicitly to bolster his myth. There's so much woolly thinking, if not outright deception, in there, that it's essentially worthless nonsense. | ||

What might be more reasonable speculation is that the masking agents masked the early detection of the cancer. Again, speculating unreasonably, late detection _may_ have contributed to its aggressive spread. | |

| | Is medical speculation unreasonable? There seems to be very little concrete evidence that categorically establishes a link between steroid/hormone abuse and testicular cancer in humans but that does not exclude speculation I was playing devils advocate to a degree - as Lance used the "with my medical history, I wouldn't take PED's" as a line of defence and denial, then that same rationale could be directed back at him |

US cycling doping program didn't work out so good for the other riders who came through with Armstrong either. Quote:

| | A couple of observations 1. He actually seems quite proud of the professionalism of his doping. Kind of like 'look how smart I was to get away with it'. 2. The only type of person who could be a serial winner in that era was a heartless arsehole. Cycling got the champion it deserved. 3. Having said that, I think he is a one in twenty heartless arsehole, rather a one in a million heartless arsehole. |

| | he was caught Tour de Suisse 2001, backdated prescription. It does help to avoid being caught when you are in bed with the UCI, Hamilton describes in his book tip offs. Armstrong also went to Lausanne to see how the test for EPO worked. Also taught "glowtime" by Ferrari. I believe it will come out Verbuggen UCI cover up, corruption. This race aint run yet.. |
