Awesome. Perfect timing for my script where a Kevin James type man who came in 258th in the Tour de France is made 1st after everyone else is busted for doping and must now get serious to have a good showing in the next race or forever be...THE ASTERISK!
Coming Spring 2014.

I feel like Armstrong gets a free pass because of his cancer and the good image of cycling. If he were a football player, baseball player or worse yet a wrestler, the press would have burnt him alive. It's time for a lot of people to face the facts that he is a scumbag who did do some good things for cancer awareness. I don't think that absolves him of everything else. He is only as much a scumbag as literally every single other high-level competitor in his sports is.

Only the ones who threatened physical violence against people who accused them of doping or sued others for telling the truth as slander.

I don't think Sheryl Crow has had a hit song since they broke up.
That POS caused that too.

He cheated to win a bicycle races. Lamest scandal ever. True. He's an asshole, but who really cares about grown men riding bicycles anyway?

THIS THIS THIS Armstrong's competition was doping too. Many have been nailed without the heightened scrutiny and lessened level of proof Armstrong had. Guys weren't losing to Armstrong because they wouldn't dope.

The Winter Olympics make decent ratings due to the spectacle and being plastered all over TV, but you can't tell me people really give a shit about curling either.

People in their millions go to the course every year. I can't stand American Football but I know that the Superbowl is a massive event. Even if the game is a distant third place behind the new commercials and the half-time show, there are still a lot of people who give a shit. Cycling is massively popular in certain countries, especially in Europe.

He cheated to win a bicycle races. Lamest scandal ever. My thoughts exactly. I'm getting annoyed at so many people who never cared about Lance Armstrong all of a sudden flipping their lids because he cheated in bicycle races in France. So anyone who's saying "forget all the cancer stuff he did, he cheated in a bicycle race!" is a moron. Whatever you don't like cheating, but I'd also like to point out that all the money the guy raised for cancer would have NEVER happened without these wins. So think about that one for a second.
