Did Lance Armstrong  cheated just like Floyd Landis?

Well, i was certain that he did not and i am a fan of arm strong, but i was skeptical in the end cause of the book that he heavily and personally wanted to stop. The book is called LA Confidential, i blogged about him recently in my blog, if you are interested read it up.

Yes I have cheated but I figure it was mutual because I had also caught him cheating and he did not know so I cheated on him with another friend of mine and went home to him so he could perform oral sex on me right after sleeping with someone else an hour ego. I would say I did it out of the anger of being with him for 5 yrs. and him throwing that away in one night.

Lance was World Champion in 1993, he was succeeded by Luc Leblanc.\n\nA full list of World Champions including Sprint and Time Trial can be found in the link below

He didn't take drugs, he just trained harder than anyone else.\n\nAn independent physiologist familiar with the study commented: “This study shows that long term training has a lot bigger effects than we thought. They followed Armstrong – a well-known hard trainer – and the changes in his efficiency over seven years are really quite amazing. We wouldn’t be surprised if some major physiological changes happened, but here’s a real quantified example.”\nHe added: “Generally there are two ways to improve efficiency: Train your maximum capacity to be very high, or train your sub-maximal capacity to be very efficient. In Armstrong’s case, he did both. In the lab they measured his performance against standard oxygen consumption and by the end of the study he was much more efficient utilizing the same amount of oxygen. But on the road,” he pointed out, “it means he can go faster and get more guys off his wheel.”\nEffect of cancer, therapy nil\nThe period that started when Armstrong was 21 and just turning professional and ending at age 28 with his first TdF victory, also included his cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and recovery. About eight months after chemotherapy ceased (August 1997), Armstrong was tested in Coyle’s laboratory in the same manner as in his other four visits. The results showed that he “displayed no ill-effects from his previous surgeries and chemotherapy” and were in line with measurements expected from highly trained athletes during periods of detraining, Coyle added later.

Yes, it was supposed to be Buzz Aldrin, but NASA felt that having the first man on the moon a military (Armstrong was a civilian) would not be the best choice from a PR point of view, so Buzz was asked to be #2.\n(As far as I am concerned, they both landed at the same time, being first to get out of the LEM was not a super feat...)\nBut nothing about this crazy "I am jumping in front of you" garbage you just added.  The LEM is much too cramped for any roughing to take place; so do not start crazy rumours.

Your best bet would be to send the fan mail to his agent, Mark Higgins. You'll have to do some digging, but here's their contact information and website:\n\nCapital Sports & Entertainment\n98 San Jacincto Blvd, Suite 130\nAustin, TX 78701\n\ntel: 512.478.7211\nfax: 512.476.0611\n\nurl: http://www.planetcse.com/\n\nIt's quite sad that folks have to bash someone, when he hasn't been proven to have taken drugs (other than those he took during his cancer treatments). He was the most tested cyclist out there, and never failed a test. The L'equipe allegations are mere speculation, and they have yet to come forth with any proof. They've just embarked on a smear campaign, mainly because the French riders haven't proven that they can train as hard as their peers.\n\nThere's this thing called due process. If Armstrong is ever PROVEN to have taken drugs, then I'll believe it. Until then, he's innocent until proven guilty.

I understand the feeling. With exception, you will find French people to be fair play, and they will admit and respect the winner of a competition, regardless of nationality. Of course they will also brag when their local teams/players/athletes win, and be disappointed when they loose but who wouldn't?\n\nNonetheless, there is this lingering resentment against Lance... And this I believe comes from that newspaper "L'Equipe" (The Team), which is as fair and balanced as Fox News when it comes to reporting integrity. That rag basically capitalizes on national sporting pride to promote sales.\n\nSo there... A couple of journalists try to make a stir by making unvalidated claim of cheating, in the hope of unearthing the next Watergate. What's very regrettable, is that such cheap shot is only what's visible of France. A real shame, because the truth is all different.\n\nSome readers will probably believe that much, but I'm pretty certain most French people have nothing but respect for Lance's performance.\n\nNow it is also true that in the cycling circle, people don't consider Lance the greatest cyclist of all time. Lance is the best TdF cyclist that ever was and maybe ever will be, but he's pretty much exclusive. So was Miguel Indurain. These guys would train only for the TdF. In contrast, people like Eddie Mercks, Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault not only won the TdF five times, but they also won pretty much everything there was to win. So some folks may have a legitimate reason to take Lance's performance with a grain of salt.\n\nI hope this helps clarify the confusion.\n\n(PS) Avoid using absolutes like "I know the French hate Americans". This doesn't reflect well on Americans, and doesn't promote a better understanding between the two people. Try to investigate whether it is true that French hate Americans (Because they don't), and if so, try to find out what the reason why that may be. Else you will pass for an obnoxious yank (Which you're not) and people will resent you for that.

Thats a difficult one! Mayweather is v.good but has not been tested. I suppose greatness comes from when you bounce back after losing a fight.. Based on that, I think the guys like Barrera and such would be ahead of Floyd. When Floyd gets really tested and maybe loses, lets see if he can bounce back like Ali, Duran, Leonard, Hearns etc.

Try the Tour de France...Lance seems to have no problem with it.....

Yes. Neil Armstrong and others have really walked on the moon.  They even left a mirror on the surface which, over 30 years later, we still use to measure the distance between the earth and the moon.

think of it this way...hasn't there been a person in your life whom, against all odds, managed to achieve greatness?\n\nor, think about lance armstrong...stricken with cancer, lost his cycling contracts, still he decided to perservere and achieve.  It was his will...that got him back on the bike...and, then he wins 5 tour de frances....\n\nthat is kind of the idea

Cheater is tough to say, as steroids and growth hormones were NOT an illegal substance in Major League Baseball until the 2003 season. Yes he probably used steroids and such, but until it's proven he used them during the 2003 and 2004 seasons (as he sat out all of 2005), he can't be called a cheater.\n\nAs for being a target of the media, he's brought a lot of that on himself. He's an arragant a**hole who has gone out of his way to be an irratant to the media and then seems surprised when they take out their frustrations at his actions and attitudes toward them by being an irratant to him

yes he did cheat, he ran behind Puyol....Puyol barely touched Henry's chest and Henry fell down pretending to be have been caught in the face....this is simulation/diving. And therefore is cheating.

"...was nasa lying about neil armstrong going to the moon?..."\n\nNo, definitely not. It's unbelievable how many people prefer to accept the half-baked, erroneous "proofs" that show men never landed on the moon to the undeniable scientific facts that prove we did. Take the time to read the facts on this non-governmental website ==> http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html\n\n"...the technology is much greater today than 1965, so why cant we go up there again?..."\n\nYes, our technology has greatly advanced since 1969, but at this time we simply don't have the necessary hardware to put men back on the moon---no Saturn-like boosters, no life-support systems required for manned lunar voyages, no lunar landing equipment, etc.,. It's true that we could build all the necessary equipment, but a number of factors discourage further manned lunar exploration--the space race is over, the American public has lost interest in the moon, and NASA's budget is far below the levels needed to ramp up again for manned lunar flights.

yes, he did land on the moon.\n\nthe studio scandal was originated during the Cold War era by jealous Russian communists who couldn't stand the fact that Americans were beating them in aeronautics.
