  Did you hear about the rumour that subscribing gives you a yellow jersey?

  Isn't it mind-boggling that a man with a last name Armstrong actually became famous because he has legs strong?

  The fact that when Greg Lemond, a legend in his own right, tried to expose doping in cycling.  Was completely ostracized in the cycling community because of Lance.  Truly shows how much influence he had in his prime.

  I have won the Tour de France as many times as Lance Armstrong did.

  What he did to silence the people who threatened to reveal his doping was brutal.  He destroyed lives.

  I think a lot of people could have forgive him for the cheating but the way he tried to ruin peoples lives is what really makes him a monster.

  I was obsessed with this story for years. Watched all the documentaries and read all the books.

  In the 'Lance' documentary Armstrong explains how he forged his birth certificate to compete as a 16 year old when he started out in triathlon. His rationale was - quote "Forge the certificate, compete illegally and beat everybody." Interesting how that seems to have set the tone for his future.

  I think that in his book he says he was told a the time it was 50/50, though later his doctor said in reality it was 3%?

  Had Armstrong quit after the seventh tour win, no one would have found out his cheating ways.....But his hubris, arrogance and sense of invincibility brought him back one more time, and because of that, he paid the price...And rightly so.

  The biggest problem wasn’t the doping. It’s what he did to silence the people who had the truth. He did all that knowing he was lying to the world the entire time, and destroyed peoples lives to protect his lies.<br><br>That’s what separates guys like Lance and Alex Rodriguez from other athletes that used PEDs.<br><br>I don’t feel sorry for what happened to him at all.

  How many times do we have to rewind this? Would be nice if a narrator was used that could pronounce the last names.
