You can't deny it's big news. To see or read about it within the cycling press seems right to me, but for the main stream media to dribble-feed useless & half researched tit bits to us is getting tiring.

A few weeks ago in the news, USADA stripped him of his 7 tour titles & then yesterday the UCI stripped him of his 7 tour victories. To your average joe this is just repeated info.

lets look at the good stuff in 2012, Wiggins great Tour, Olympics fantastic medals tally, British cycling are really doing it lots of good news !!

ok the case is big news and available for all to see...but we know where it is if we really need to see it.....otherwise lets not make it front page .....

Stop starting threads and drawing attention to him then?

chris217

!!!...not sure what you mean ....

Yes lets start talking about Greg Lemond instead. Is it really true that he is now the only US American ever to have worn the yellow jersey ?

I expect to hear soon that lance is responsible for global warming, increased oil prices and the increased price of biscuits ....

Tbh it's amazed me how many have jumped on the "I can't wear/use anything associated with him" bandwagon, and that's got very boring very quickly, I understand the discussion on him though as of course it's big news.

If you want to see how obsessed and fanatical some have become in wanting to "hear" every detail pop over the the Pro Race forums where you'll find a plethora of socially and emotionally retarded perspectives gathered together continuing to express their faux outrage at every little detail and getting angry at anyone who doesn't subscribe to their single and simple minded group think.

i have a good idea, lets all go for a ride ..... best way forward

Start a big internet campaign to get him to admit it, he needs to acknowledge what he did and apologize, for his sake and for cycling.

For those that have been following the sport since before 1999, we had to endure years and years of having Armstrong stuffed-down our throats by the fawning cycling press and hoards of plastic bangle-wearing acolytes who would abuse and bully anyone who dared question his impeachability.

While I am fed up of the level of coverage, it's inevitable.

What I am absolutely sick of though is the sanctimonious bilge poured out by people who know almost nothing about cycling and care even less. "Aren't you shocked. Who knew?" the media repeatedly crow. Well the answer to those questions is "not at all" and "everyone".

This is not cycling's finest hour, let's be honest, but the sport will continue to flourish regardless of incidents like this.
