So give me your condensed version / reason for his being "special".

Because he arrived in Europe to a Fanfare that said he would show us Europeans (y'know the usual claptrap from the USA) how winning bike races was easy for a USA Triathlete Champion.
Then 2 tears later he is almost in tears as the World Champion and is saying that nobody recognises him.
He made sure the world did recognise him but not with fair means but crooked foul means.
He is a poor soul now because all he has to look at is 7 yellow jerseys which no longer belong to him.
That all amounts to him being a Special Prick and long may he reign with that title. QED

Yeah, we here in the USA say that(the usual claptrap) all the time. It's all we ever worry about or talk about. How are we going to one up those damn Euro slobs?

"...almost in tears.... nobody recognizes him." How is that even remotely newsworthy in the grand scheme of things? The "almost" part is really telling.

"... crooked foul means." NO KIDDING!!!!! And doing it for money and fame no less. Wow, that really sets him apart from the rest of the world. Who else would do something like that????

"...poor soul... seven jerseys..". Don't kid yourself. That's what you want to believe is going through his head and not what actually is going on. How could you know? How could any of us know? Oh wait, he's confessed and we all know what that means. Don't flatter yourself with thinking you have even a clue to understanding LA.

"...special prick.." Once again that's what you want. You and some others. It's just a meaningless title you've given him. I know he means the world to you but sooner or later you're going to have to accept the fact that nothing you've said about him or title you've bestowed upon means a damn thing to him. You don't even exist to him.

Do you know, I agree with you.
I have a photo of me standing in my garden and taken from a plane on it's way to Heathrow at about 15,000/19000 feet.
It really shows what an important person I am there and looking about the size of an Ant so mind where you tread.
I'm that Important that you might squash me.

You asked for condensed, so I gave it to you.
Just can't please some people. !

Erm, just follow the Red letters.
That should read to follow on from the red letters.
Anyway don't worry about it because he/she knows how to avoid giving an answer.

Must be doing well because the confusion has set in but no matter I've always been known as Tenacious.

Just a minute, the timing is right for you to be rundfarht. ?

I have answered your question, you just can't seem to handle that you made a bunch of assumptions that were false, so you resort to insults and making things up.
Have a great day, I'm done with you here.

Two more lawsuits against Lance Armstrong

With the Lance Armstrong doping confession are two more lawsuits. That made ​​American media today.

Acceptance Insurance, the company responsible for the bonuses made during the first three tour victories of the American, Armstrong requires three million U.S. dollars back, plus an additional compensation.

The insurer is following a similar procedure as competitor SCA Promotions, that $ 12 million in unjustified bonuses will recover. Tailwind Sports, the management company behind the U.S. Postal team, took the profit contributions of Armstrong with insurance.

Then there is a complaint against Armstrong and FRS, a company specializing in food, for misleading advertising. It is about a television which energy supplements FRS are described as the secret weapon of Armstrong. According to the complaint, the consumer products less or not paid, if the advertisement not been misleading.

Whoops.

Aside from SCA, anyone who's suing Armstrong now may as well be suing themselves for being stupid.

In a way Walsh might end up being his friend - Gets to court and he can say "why did you ignore what Walsh et al said?"

There's a class action incoming from Twitter. Few thousand vacants on there squealing PTSD.

But who're we kidding here? The above is mere vehicle to vector Dennis' urgent attention to the lyric of Bad Losers on Yahoo Chess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8w3eW1huCM.

What do you guess Lance will come out with financially by the end of it all? Jail would rehab his image but bankrupt

I don't see jail as as necessarily bankrupting him. Or necessarily rehabilitating his image. It's my belief that he will be "taken care off". My theory does not have him anywhere near the top of the ladder.

You really must like reading this thread.
We hoped a new one could start when someone really chewed his ball and he was in the news again for a more up to date thread title to be appropriate.

Almost seems a shame to actually use it as a skateboard. Lot of work in that to simply scuff it up with your feet and the pavement.

Here's a take on tennis doping that I thought was interesting.
From ESPN The Magazine - 02-06-2013 - Howard Bryant - Does tennis have a PED problem?

"...meanwhile, the product on the court--with it's punishing rallies in marathon matches and little recuperation time--invites skepticism, the same as baseball did with it's inflated homers. No A-list tennis player has failed a drug test for PED's, but history has taught the lesson the beating a test is no exoneration. Sammy Sosa was never suspended for testing positive. Neither was Barry Nonds.

History also taught us that if a sport hides rather than confronts, the circumstantial will soon overwhelm the truth. The nonsense of trying to determime which players dope simply through body type, comportment and playing style will become irrefutable fact. The muscles of Serena Williams and Samantha Stosur will be proof of their guilt, as will Djokovic's remarkable stamina and Errani's and Ferrer's unexpected success; Alexandr Dolgopolov weighs only 160 pounds and Roger Fererer is a nice guy, so they will be thought clean."

LOL - good one FF

he still has quite a lot of papparazi or at least many cameras and attention on him Who is the driver? And is LA cooperating with any of these films given he was in Hollywood?

I know from experience that smoking dope can mess up your judgement. That nearly everybody smoked this dope

during his last TDF is of such importance in concluding the fairy story about living happily ever laughter, but where

in all of this did Willie get the bad connection, is it just impaired judgement or does he like a good laugh himself??

Fair play to Wiggle - they still believe!

Frank the tank

I suggest anyone still stupid enough to believe in Armstrong should read "seven deadly sins" by David Walsh.

LA is a thouroughly despicable piece of sh1t and I would dearly love for everyone who he has destroyed and lives he's blighted to get there pound of flesh out of him.

I'd love for him to end up a destitute broken pauper of an excuse for a man.
