Scipio

If he's the best doper ever, that just proves he's an American champion.

The fact is that I don't give a flying fuck.  I would like all athletes to juice, if they feel it's necessary, without consequence.

Fuck those slope headed neanderthals.  If they want to kill themselves before fifty with performance enhancing drugs, while I kill myself with red meat, cheese, and booze, who the fuck cares?
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.

There you go, giving a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck.

Brazen

Armstrong has stepped down as chairman of his cancer charity and Nike have dropped him.

Liep

He's showing some of that willpower he has in not admitting to this.

Might I remind you that's it's the USDA that announced its ruling today?
USDA is for making sure that the meat is not juiced with growth hormones above an acceptable level.  I think you're thinking of USADA.

USDA also administers the Food Stamps program.
Who knew that Armstrong cheated by doping himself with government cheese?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Well, surely it has to be good for something ? :unsure:

And Armstrong has ruined cycling. Rabobank is pulling out as a sponsor, I doubt it'll be the last.

It's a shame it's crashing now that there's actually a change to see riders who's not doped.

The Brain

The sport gets what it deserves. It made some questionable decisions the past decades, seems to have lacked customer focus.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

What's the appeal in long distance races as a spectator sport? Have never gotten that, whether it's Tour De France, a marathon or NASCAR(put sport in quote marks for that one).
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

What about the Amazing Race? :w00t:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I suspect there's many answers to that one as I don't enjoy watching marathons or NASCAR, but do love Tour de France. For TdF it's the history, the landscape, the challenge, the moments you know will enter the history and of course the race itself.

Why sit and watch for hours when you can just watch the clip of the crash?

Why watch a football game when you can just watch the replays of touchdowns?  Here is my favorite one of the year:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFm6o-qB6T4  Multi-car pileups happen at least four times a year, but this was a unique stroke of genius.

Also caused by Danica Patrick. Just by being in the area.
