Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

To be fair, he did come back from cancer and do something most well people couldn't do (ride the tour), let alone someone recovering from cancer, so he can still be a source of inspiration.

Well, of course it is wonderful that Armstrong was cured of cancer, but it's always worth pointing out again that that's nothing unusual for his type of cancer:

[ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_cancer[/ame]

Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90 percent overall; almost 100 percent if it has not spread (metastasized). Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, modern chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 80%.

Now, I realise that Armstrong's cancer had metastasised widely, but you'll note that his chances of survival were still pretty good.

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.
