    It hasn't got quite the same pull as the decals thread.

    I like Lance loads more now than I ever did before when he was racing.

    He appears to be a bit more humble, but with a 'fvck you' attitude. I agreed with almost everything he said in that interview.

    Echo's of Tiger woods? Except that LA crashed before the crash and TW crashed after the crash. Maybe he has a lot on his mind.

    Has Tiger Woods been caught taking PED's then? If so I don't think they are working very well at the moment.

    I think this says everything about him.

    1) He's a c*nt
    2) He would rather someone else took the rap
    3) He's a c*nt
    4) He doesn't care about potentially hurting someone else through his actions (missus or bystander)
    5) He's a c*nt
    6) He's a liar
    7) He's a c*nt

    Then why start another one? Keep it all in one, easily ignorable place. it's not like this changes anything in the big thread

    The republicans probably can't win without a Bush on the ticket.

    Don't know why people get so wound up by what Lance does. I mean, do you really care?

    And anyone who wishes harm on another human, regardless of who they are is an idiot.

    After the events that came to light yesterday this is a moronic thing to post.

    Can we start flogging people who start new Lance threads?

    Edit: maybe add a 'needlessly' in there. Obviously if it turns out to actually be newsworthy beyond the industry that is Lance and Lance-Related Threads then that would be fair game.

    Hi, this is a message to "deejay", who appears to have me badly confused with somebody else.

    I was not a moderator on the BBC's 606 pages and I have never blocked/unfollowed/ignored/whatevered anybody, apart from one particularly potty-mouthed Rangers fan during that club's lurch towards financial ruin.

    If I recall rightly, we outsourced the moderation of 606 to a third party. It wasn't my area, but I think the site was effectively self-policed by the site's users. If somebody complained/flagged something up, the moderators looked at it.

    Also, as far as I can recall, I did not write anything about Lance Armstrong on a 606 page. If you know differently, can you send me the link? Can you also send me a link to a single "pro-Lance" story prior to the pieces I wrote last week?

    I suspect you will struggle, as they do not exist. In fact, prior to last week my online/TV/radio output on Armstrong had been entirely negative, which is one of the reasons why I think he gave us the interview.

    He knew who I was when I got in touch with him last year - he had always fobbed me off on Fabiani, Higgs or Stapleton before - but my pitch intrigued him enough to invite me over to talk about an interview, which I did, making him very clear of how far my sympathy for his situation extended. I believe he realised that this interview would have more credibility than the stage-managed confession he gave to his friend and neighbour Oprah.

    Whether you agree with this is entirely up to you, of course, but please stop repeating this bollocks about me blocking you on 606, being a Lance 'fan boy' or any of the other related-nonsense you've been spouting on here.

    Can I start threads about myself as a non-lance-armstrong-lance?

    Also personally I don't see whats so wrong with doping 10 years ago when the whole peleton was. They should have kept the sport clean, not individuals. But what do I know?
