Armstrong Considering Confession, World Shrugs

By Michael Frank on January 7th, 2013

Hey, Lance: Too little, too late. The New York Times reported on Friday that the world’s most famous doper is considering confessing to taking performance-enhancing drugs. The reason? Not because Armstrong wants to do the right thing, make amends to the people he’s harmed, and begin to pay retribution for the millions he earned via fraud, but because he hopes for leniency on his lifetime ban on competing. Yes, the man who won and then lost seven Tour de France titles won’t be complete unless his tests himself in some backwater triathlon. Armstrong has become sad and pathetic, a figure whose downfall would be tragic if it weren’t for his unending calculations and seemingly bottomless hubris. If Armstrong really does confess, it’s not because he’s come to Jesus, but because he thinks there’s something to be gained. Via NY Times.

    If the “world shrugs,” then why do you keep posting this crap about Lance. No one cares anymore, now it just seems you are going out of your way to make him “news.”

    Are you kidding me!?! “Why do you keep posting this crap about Lance…” How is that even a question that enters your mind? Armstrong is the biggest sporting fraud in the history of the world…every time he takes a shit it’s going to be news from now until he’s no longer on the earth anymore.

    Hey, he still beat the other top twenty competitors who were also doping, so he still kind of won.

    Biggest sporting fraud? Come on, yeah he was cheating but blood doping or not he still performed year after year in a ridiculous event. Barry Bonds taking roids and hitting home run is much more of a fraud than Lance. At least Lance had to do something physically incredible to win his event.

    With what charity organization did Barry Bonds defraud America with? The Armstrong connection to Livestrong will play out over time in a fairly shocking manner. Get back to us in 2 years and tell me what you think about Livestrong. Also, Bond’s HEAD grew a few inches. That’s a pretty impressive physical achievement.
