I have been an LA supporter but just beginning to falter. So for what its worth, here's an insight into another world of LA written by a one-time mechanic http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/biking/road-biking/My-Life-With-Lance-Armstrong.html?utm_source=dispatch&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=09042012

just found the magazine in my inbox

Make of it what you will.

Don't shoot the messenger!

    I read that the other day, think its been posted in other posts as well. If true it just goes to show what a piece of work he is and probably means that more and more people like this will have stories to tell. As his myth, and command over everyone begins to unravel people will be more willing to tell all. However, it's impossible to tell if this guy is legit or just annoyed that he didn't get paid.

    How long you been cycling ?

    If you're new to cycling that probably explains it........likely Pharmstrong (as he's known on US steriod sites) inspired you into cycling.

    It's like this; basically all the winners from TDF (and most other races) need to be expunged from '91 > 2010 (save maybe 2008 Sastre).

    Patronising to say the least.

    More importantly, the bike in that picture has got SAAB decals! How cool is that?

    ...

    Ok just me then!

    Does anyone know if that was a SAAB-sponsored team? I need to find myself a jersey!

    Saab used to sponsor a MTB team along with Gary Fisher.
