What (if anything) did he do wrong?

Lmao

he almost cheated too well

this faggot's defence for years was that france is anti american lmao

>he should've been allowed to cheat because he's american

be a hypocrite, a blackmailer, and a scammer

>t. Dr. Fuentes

he's the first man on the moon
pay respect

>What (if anything) did he do wrong

He won. The riders that finished second, third etc. were just as doped up, but they didn't win, so they are not nearly as hated as The Boss.

They should just allow everyone to cheat in cycling since they all do it anyways. What’s the point of having a sport where the top 45 finishers will get disqualified for PED’s every competition?

not good enough injecting the blood in and around the vein

don't really care that much about the cheating, lots of people cheat. i have more respect for clean athletes though.

but the fact that he went so far with the threats to keep his scheme going that he was going to ruin lives over it, made him into a massive cunt.

the testing reduces the amount they can take, making it much safer for the riders. Taking massive amounts of EPO fucks up your heart and can give you blood clots

Everything in life has risks & benefits and everyone is responsible their own choices you fucking infant.

Same as all steroid users. He lied to cover his ass then claimed it was ubiquitous when he got caught.

If these steroid users would have just owned up to it when first challenged, I would say we should be lenient on them. They all lied because they know they cheated

Lance successfully sued and destroyed the life of the one man brave enough to accuse him of doping during his prime.

He was still the best.

>Asked about the World Anti-Doping Agency’s description of disgraced Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong as benefiting from “the most effective doping program in history,” Vayer responded, “With his record average of 438 watts on the 2001 Tour, ‘The Boss’ only manages sixth place in our palmarès. He looks almost like a bit-part player next to ‘king’ Miguel Indurain, who has five Tours to his credit. The Spaniard seems unlikely to be dethroned thanks to his average of 455 watts in the 1995 edition… The fact that Armstrong’s reign began after the Festina affair in 1998 and the introduction of the EPO test forced him to pay more ‘attention’. He couldn’t take EPO in an unlimited way like his predecessors”.

There's many riders that were on stronger megadope but they will continue to be celebrated as "heroes" and "champions" across Yurope.

>Everything in life has risks & benefits
and it's reasonable for people to want to reduce those risks you utter retard

Nothing. Everybody juices in sports, if you think otherwise you're a naïve brainlet cuck

the juice isn't why everyone hates him, plenty of dopers are still well liked

I don't actually know what happened to him, all I know is he doped. Why do people hate him?

/thread

He ruined the lives of people who tried to out him as being a total fucking fraud.

Basically /ourguy/

Everyone during his era was juicing, what does it matter? Just ban him and start clean with new stringent drug examinations, dont null his TdF's and pretend he was the only one.

his biggest mistake was apologizing

First to play a trumpet on the moon, too.

Used to threaten, harass and attempt to destroy the lives of anyone he thought might expose him.
>At the 2004 Tour de France, Armstrong famously chased down Simeoni when he was in a breakaway group. Simeoni had testified against Dr. Michele Ferrari, who was Armstrong’s trainer.

>“You made a mistake when you testified against Ferrari… I can destroy you,” Simeoni says Armstrong told him. Armstrong forced Simeoni back to the peloton, with a sinister “zip the lips gesture”

Ehh so he verbally bullied him, and chased him down in a bike race, that's seems pretty tame ngl

He basically ruined his physios career for threatening to expose him and he used the >muh cancer to gain public sympathy when he was just a bully

read some of the others in that article, he got people removed from their jobs for speaking to USADA

Fair enough, bit of a cunt I guess

>physio trying to stop cancer research for the sake of """integrity""" for the '""""sport"""""

right they hate him because hes american and an alpha

He roided and beat everyone else that was roiding. Kang Roid

he would have got away with it if he wasnt a dick

roiding was fair play since he got cancer so many times. just balancing the scales

the weight saving of only having one ball was the counterbalance to his cancer

his problem was that he he achieved unprecedented domination as an american. europeans love holding our inferiority in their sports over our heads. so, when he was blowing everyone out, they couldn't cope and were seething. cycling is probably the most corrupt and drug infused sport but they jumped at the opportunity to single out american. as it's been said before, his lie raised a ridiculous amount of charitable donations. he gets vilified, but probably saved a good number of lives.

He was a hero, honestly. He survived cancer and inspired so many people. He was a juicy slut, just like everybody else.

Steroids make people better; is that bad? If you took the drugs out of sports entirely with magic, and everything athlete performed 33-50% worse than they do now at every level, which is what would happen, people would be demanding to bring them back

why are people sent to congress to be punished for roids but then trans women are celebrated? the difference between a trans woman and a biological woman is far more significant than a steroid user and a non steroid user.

got ball cancer which revealed the dangers of cycling

>tf
>tp

Why not get a trans-gender, join a sport, and then report your results for us? :^)

Bit of an asshole.

He should have just let Landis on the team the fucking cunt. He was the first domino. No Landis testimony -> no Hamilton testimony -> no usada Investigation

He was a literal cunt. Paid off police and politicians, ruined people's lives and should have been shot in the face.

>they will continue to be celebrated as "heroes" and "champions" across Yurope

No. On that list 2 of them got cauhgt and one died suspeciously at 34.
You're full of shit and your hero is a cheater.

>If you took the drugs out of sports entirely with magic, and everything athlete performed 33-50% worse than they do now at every level, which is what would happen
imagine being this riddled by conspiracy theories

>33-50% worse
more like 2-4%

>everything athlete performed 33-50% worse than they do now at every level
do you honestly believe that without drugs the 100m record would be around 13-15 seconds?
