Lance Armstrong what's your opinion on him did he cheat or not?

[skel1983]

I read his book about two years ago now and it was a cracking read and quite inspiring, now with the latest revelations from the 2006 winner of the Tour De France says he admits to cheating and Armstrong was involved heavily, now Floyd Landis is not exactly the best evidence as he has changed his story about not taking PEDS to now admitting to it many times even paying in excess of $1 Million Doller's to clear his name in the past.

I am pretty certain after reading alot about this and other cases accusations in the past involving Armstrong he is a PED'S cheat, this of course is just my opinion, but if you look back there is about 8-10 people who now have come out over the years and said they have been present when Armstrong has said he has taken PEDS, or taken them while they were present, now Armstrong has always denied this saying they are jealous rivals or people who he has fallen out with and now have a vendetta against him, but some of these people were/are close friends to Armstrong and would have nothing to gain to lie about this. Now maybe one or two people accused him of it especially someone as bent as Floyd Landis yes but all these different people from not only cycling backgrounds??

What do you guys think? I am quite sad really always seen Armstrong as an amazing guy what he has done in his life and what he has had to deal with. Obviously me or anyone else couldn't be 100% sure until there is proper evidence, but for me it does not look good at all...

I simply don't care. It's a level playing field, all the top cyclists are doing it.

The drug laws in cycling are like the marajuana laws. Yes it's illegal, but yes everybody does it.

Just legalise them if you want an honest sport, or if you want to turn a blind eye and insist it doens't and shouldn't happen then continue to ban them,

Either way everyone will use them.

It shoulnd't detract from him at all. All of his top level opponents would have been taking them as well.

I simply do not care about drugs and enhancements in sports. Let people take what they want. If it raisese the standard of the sport, breaks records and thus leads to increased fan and media interest what's the problem.

Look at Usain Bolt. If he's not already on drugs (which let's be fair he most likely is taking something) he could potentially go even faster. How is that bad for sport?

Peds schmeds.

Well to be honest mate I don't agree with that at all, maybe most of them if not all of them are at it, but when a man comes across so anti cheating and proclaims himself to be this role model on how things can be done without being a cheat etc etc, it is a fucking disgrace imo. To me it shows me what sort of man he is a fraud, like I say after reading his book and some of the emphasises being on him being this amazing guy for doing it the right way making him so special and him jumping on this bandwagon makes me upset, personally I couldn't give a shit if everyone else is at it.

Armstrong is a fucking fraud if he is guilty. I would respect him alot more if he did a Dwain Chambers who I admire loads and I have read his book to now that man for me is the sort of men you say well he was stupid but he deserves our respect we all make mistakes and he has admited and we move on. Armstrong if has been a cheat can go fuck himself.

i believe he used them. If some cyclists are using them, all the ones who win need to take them to be competitive. Whenever there are mere seconds between positions, the edge goes to those who use all the tools.

There is a french laboratory in France, considered as one of the best in the world for the drugtest results, Châtenay-Malabry who did say that they analyzed Armstrong old samplers and that the samplers were positive. Armstrong answered using the good old' jewish trick but changed holocaust for cancerous and said they didn't do their job correctly ONCE AGAIN (when the lab in question has never been responsible for major mistakes at all). To me, it says a lot but then again, not every but many top cyclists are and were in that position.

If Lance Armstrong did cheat he certainly has BALLS

I'd be pretty disappointed if he did cheat. He comes across as such an anti-drug, inspirational sort of person that taking PEDs would just completely destroy that perception many people have of him. He'd go from a brilliant, courageous athlete to another cheat. There seems to be too many people coming out and saying they've seen/heard of him taking drugs to just dismiss it as jealousy or nonsense. I can't think of many other athletes that I would be more disappointed to hear had cheated tbh

Ive heard. He was an expert at preparing for Races. He didnt enter to many a year, oh and yes He was on the gear, like most Cycle Racers.

Hahaha is it just me ...on the gear...cycle racers ... 12 in all isnt it?

Cycling is already in ruins after all the previous drug scandals. If Armstrong does get caught, it will completely kill what little credibility it has left.
