Lance Armstrong: hero or cheater?

From his interview with Oprah.
Yeah...still doesnt get any empathy from me. What a *insert swear words of your choice*

  • Lance Armstrong admitted to using performance enhancing drugs until his 2005 retirement which included his seven French victories
  • Said his 'cocktail' included testosterone, blood transfusions, and EPOs
  • Made contradictory remarks by admitting to 'bullying' teammates but saying that he did not pressure them into taking drugs alongside him
  • Came off as callous, arrogant, and still lacked empathy for the women that he previously branded as liars and a 'crazy b****'
  • Admitted that he maintained a 'win at all costs' attitude that helped him justify his decision to 'level the playing field' by taking the drugs

It turns out that all these criticisms of Lance are false and are based on a typo.

The reporter pictured above has finally gotten the story straight.

The above photo is a true story but:
This past Saturday, an employee at an Australian library put up a sign announcing that its Lance Armstrong books would be relocated to the fiction section, after the famous cyclist admitted to doping on his way to seven Tour de France victories. The sign in the Manly Library, located in a suburb of Sydney, said:

“ALL NON-FICTION LANCE ARMSTRONG BOOKS, INCLUDING ‘Lance Armstrong: Images of a Champion’, ‘The Lance Armstrong Performance Program’ and ‘Lance Armstrong: World’s Greatest Champion’ WILL SOON BE MOVED TO THE FICTION SECTION. THANK YOU, MANLY LIBRARY”

Several patrons snapped pictures of the tongue-in-cheek message, which concludes with a smiley face, and posted them to Twitter and Reddit. The sign quickly went viral. The employee who created it isn’t exactly being praised for his creativity, however. “There will be an internal review with the person who put the signage up,” Wendy Ford, the acting manager of the Manly Library told the Sydney Morning Herald. “He didn’t have any authority to make a statement on behalf of the library.”

I continue to marvel at a society/culture which places such importance on people who essentially play games for a living. Our priorities are screwed up.

I agree and dont follow sports at all, but at the same time I'd rather see a sportsperson admired than a Big Brother star or similar.

Apparently the newspaper he sued for making "false claims" against him now want their money back. Hahahaha good.

Lance Armstrong? Wasn't he that jazz musician guy or something?

Oh, no, that's right, he was the one to walk on the moon. Give him a break! He walked on the moon! That's more than any of you can say.
