  1. The drug addicted finally said good bye. Mr.Armstrong said
    he had a enough of winning and time to quit. While on racing a bike,
    Mr.Armstrong worked for pharmacetural Advertisment. He picked
    million and millions for chemical AD. Anyone got cured like he did?
    Probably not. He does not care how many folks who did not cured by
    taking the drug he advertisize. I guess it all comes down the bottom
    line: Profit by winning ugly. Armstrong got millions bucks
    in endorsement while a million sicked people got no cured. But who
    cares? Armstrong probably did not care anyone. He only cared for
    himself sign up for multim-million dollars deal. He only looked
    after his body. He only cared about his winning. He wants us to
    rememeber as a winner. I remember him as a drug addicted who played
    the dirty games. We are talking he is all legal in America. PERIOD!

  2. Time to double your meds, Pepe.

    Hmmm, if I were a betting man, and I am not, you personally could not
    even qualify to ride in the TdF let alone win a single leg or even dream
    of winning the entire race.

    Personally I think as cyclists, we here, in a group like this, should
    wish Lance well in his retirement.

  8. It's a forgery. Check the headers. Stephen has been posting here from a
    cs.umass.edu address for at least three years. Pretending to be someone
    else is the only way Red Cloud can get any attention from NG regulars.
    Rather sad, isn't it?

    Man, you are just consumed by hatred and jealousy. There is no doubt
    that you are an prime example of a tormented little man, who has no
    life, no friends, no heart, and no future.

    Do yourself a favor and end it all. Most people, I would recommend
    they seek help, but in your case, why waste everyones time. Make a
    statement, get a yellow shirt and throw yourself off the tallest
    building you can find. Of course, there is a very strong likelyhood
    that you are already locked up, and your time here, represents your
    computer privileges. If you are free, remember - yellow shirt, tall
    building, big jump.

    Personally, I did not know who the hell Lance Armstrong was until I
    bought a bike and started posting on this newsgroup this year. I
    started hearing of him a little when he was diagnosed with cancer, and
    then when he started dating a celebrity even more people heard of him.
    Let's face it, he was not a major sports figure in the USA.

    I know that for all of you avid cyclists he has been very MAJOR, but
    not for those who never followed the sport.

    Bicycle racing has grown in the public consciousness of the United
    States over the last several years. The reason being the success Lance
    Armstrong in the Tour de France. There is now a new group of American
    cycling fans.

    One author, I forget his name, is capitalizing on the current
    popularity of Lance Armstrong, by writing a book of basic understanding
    of the sport of cycling and what he describes as "The Greatest Race in
    the World," the Tour de France.

    I wish Lance Armstrong well because he is a fellow human being. Not
    because he is a cyclist. He has been through a hell of a lot and came
    up smiling, shining and a winner. His determination, dedication and
    passion for life in general will long be admired. He may retire from
    cycling, but he will go on to accomplish much more in his life. He is
    that kind of person.

    It's all good

    Ah Maggie, you have a point, sort of, he is much more know now that he is

    Ahh come on Ken, you can't commit as to whether I have a point or not?
    I sometimes can make a point. And not just the one on top of my head.
    Sometimes I have valid points. Come on, give me some props sometime.

    Let's face it, he was not a major sports figure in the USA.

    Well, he was Sports Illustrated's "Man of the Year" and gets mentioned
    on all the TV and radio sports reports throughout the various TdFs. I
    would guess that 99 percent of Americans at least know who he is, which
    more than you can say for a lot of baseball/football stars.

    But yes, bike racing isn't exactly a mainstream sport in the US. I
    think part of the problem is that people consider bike racing too easy,
    maybe even boring. After all, nearly everyone can ride a bike, but they
    can't hit 50 home runs or make a running/diving catch in. When you see
    the pro peloton rolling along at 25+ mph they don't even seem to be
    working hard. Those of us who actually ride bikes know otherwise.

    Road cycling has become more popular as a result of Armstrong's
    success, and that may be a good thing. The problem is that many new
    recreational cyclists seem to think bicycling is all about suffering
    and "training" instead of an enjoyable form of exercise and adventure.
    Look at the photos in the bike catalogs; everyone looks so serious!

    Look at a photo of me on a bike. Serious could never describe it. I
    don't think there is a word in the English language that could describe
    it. ;-)

    I think photos in the catalogs and magazines are a little intimating to
    the average person who just wants to ride for the fun of it.

    A friend of mine said when I do my 25 mile charity ride, not everyone
    will look like Lance. Alot will look like Nicky Nork. I laughed my
    ass off. I will feel comfortable if they look like dorks. If they look
    like the guys in the TdF....I am leaving. FAST!!!!

    I will only bike as long as I find it fun. When it ceases to be
    fun.....it's gone, I'm gone.....hopefully that will never ever happen.
    :-)

    It's all good,
    Maggie

  18. ONly the loser looks up the sole winner....Armstrong is a role model
    for thousand and
    thousand bikers but there is only one Armstrong. and god knows how
    many losers are
    out there who cry to be Armstrong. Armstrong made the decision there
    is only one
    Armstrong, and that's himself. He does not allow any other switfch his
    place. He wants
    us to be remember as the greatest of all time. That's what he want
    because the man
    is totaly blind by greed and ego. His ego do not care of other but
    only himself....
