How Did Lance Armstrong Get Busted?

[gemsv21]

may crab mentality rin pala ang mga kano....a legend in his own sport bismirk by the fellow countrymen he represents...tsk tsk tsk..

[novserolf]

whatevr our opinion is im very sure na malaki ang magiging epekto nto sa cycling industry,...sa laki ng ginwang kontribusyon ni lance sa bike world..Legend...sayangprang sobrang ang tgal ng proseso,...

[naz1]

my take on this is...

anyone who thinks Lance is a clean rider is being naive but most riders in the peloton isn't clean either. so why is Lance being singled-out? that's the real question here.

imo, most riders who won the TdF probably doped too...

to me, USADA is just being stupid.

I'm sure maraming fan ni armstrong ang magagalit but ganyan talaga ang buhay

[johnbonalos]

nung pumutok yung issue, bigla na lang din nawala yung livestrong jawbone ko..... until now di ko na mahanap....

[Samvitug]

If he really did dope, he beat other dopers

True, but most of Lance rivals during the late 90's and onwards have long been busted, stripped and banned already starting with Marco Pantani (RIP), Jan Ullrich, Alexander Vinokourov, Ivan Basso and lately, Alberto Contador.

kawawang siklistang pinoy kung ano ano din pala tinitira mga poor man dope ika nga LoL!...atlis kapag nahuli sasabihin lang...eh sir kasi may hika ako...haha! ganun pa man malalakas pa rin mga siklista natin at sana eh umusbong ng todo ulit ang tour of luzon.

Just because most riders in big races are also doing it does not make it right.
This refers to doping and other forms of cheating, irresponsible disposal of garbage during sports events, corruption, at marami pang iba....

My take on this ..... This is all about business and sponsorship! Lance is back again but in the ironman events winning back to back then got suspended for participating until he answers and finish the case raised against him! He is retired from cycling and trying to dominate the ironman events.

[naz1]

i have no problem if usada is banning him now in his ironman races if he was caught doping.

my problem is it wouldn't be fair for him if it's only him to be banned and be stripped of titles. and i don't even like lance.

why not stripped Pantani @ '98, how about Riis @ '96 for sure doper, for the hell of it, why not strip Merckxx, Anquetil, Coppi, etc?? just to be fair.

[showatcheroo]

whether he doped or not, i thank lance armstrong for inspiring me do ride a bike.

Simply put, I like what LA has put on the table.

1 - Fought and won against testicular cancer. After that, winning 7 straight tdf titles. This gave hope not only to CA victims but also to people to live their dreams
2 - Going further with his fight, set up the Livestrong foundation which searches for ways to defeat CA once and for all.

Let's say he did "dope", I'm assuming that most of the big riders did too. Then all things would have been equal, right? The end result, his team still beat the crap out of the others, seven in a row!

Just to say, I'm a fan of what he has done and what he is doing. Don't put him down coz of that..

[mikoy1129]

ikaw na ang maka pito dami lang ng naingit, lumobo ba naman ang sponsors ni LA. Tsk tsk.

[alencore]

Idol ko rin si Lance way back kaso He's one big arrogant bully I've discovered during his come back when Contador just won't let him win again so LAnce bullied Contador in more ways than one and all the one's who knows the truth about him. It's all documented by a little google search. Pakitang tao lang yang cancer fund raising nya. Mautak tlga kaya nya tlga laruin ang lahat. He pressured himself to win all those tours no matter what and from what's being revealed he's definitely UCI poster boy, doping doctors perfect specimen, fully protected and most of his cohorts got rich as well in the long run. Kung nagpakabait tlga si lance at nag low profile na after winning all those tours edi sana di na sya pinagkaabalan pa kaso this guy seems to love all the attention no matter how bad it is kaya parang laro lang tlga ni lance tong mga doping allegations na to na tutuuisin ala naman epekto sa mga rakets nya, LoL! Malamang baka maging mayor or or congressman or senador pa yan soon sa tate haha! the rich and the powerful nga naman.

amidst all these nag-spike pa pataas ang donations sa livestrong foundation.

people are showing support through donations.

[bombim]

If Armstrong had doped, how come he never got a positive test?

[anthrax76]

@bombim, there are rumors that the testers are getting bribed.
