Lance Armstrong does it again...

July 25, 2004, 06:51:14 PM

Don't know if any of you keep up with the tour, but there you have it, Lance Armstrong riding around Paris the 6 champion in a row, a new record.

The guy is a riding machine, can convert oxygen into his system like no other, and pumps 7 times more blood through his heart than the average person. Additionally, he has some genetic thing where he doesn't build up lactic acid - the junk that burns when you're riding hard. He was born to ride.

Pretty awesome.

Any of you ride? Road or off-road? I primarily like off-road, but for the Tour de France, it's too big to not be interested.

may the groove be with you

Outstanding - the guy simply blew his "peers" away as soon as it got to the mountains.

This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

Man, it wasn't President Asshat. Everyone knows it was Sasha who fixed the race and everyone who is in the know knows that Sasha is just a pawn for the illuminati. :wink:

Re:: Lance Armstrong does it again...

the tour looked harder way back when. they were showing how one of the other guys that one 5 earlier caught bronchitis while riding in the alps. the highlights show the alps with snow all over and this guy riding with shorts and a little shirts. looked nuts.

Gotta love straight-talking Texans.

You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

Re:: Lance Armstrong does it again...

how could you boo someone who's persisted and beat out everyone....he's a superman in his own right and deserves as much credit as he can get.

Re:: Lance Armstrong does it again...

The man is a sporting legend - the Tour de France has gotta be the true test of a sportsman... but no-one likes him much. The great Eddy Merckx was booed occasionally as well so it's nothing new. This article's pretty good:

Armstrong prepares for history

http://sport.guardian.co.uk/tourdefrance2004/story/0,14667,1268685,00.html

The obsessive Texan has won few friends, but he deserves to take his place in history, says William Fotheringham.

There's a book out in France that alleges he 'used' something although it doesn't seem to have any evidence. Lance isn't very happy about it, unsurprisingly...

Armstrong to sue over dope allegations

http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=1821396

A book to be released this week reiterates allegations that Lance Armstrong has used illegal substances since recovering from cancer in 1998.
