A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

[quote="marco"]Seems fair enough, no untruths in it and there's been more negative stuff they've not included. He is indeed derided for his off the bike behaviour in the states but thats not something you tend to read much in the sycophantic cycling press over here.

I hadn't realised that he screwed the english guy over because he didn't like a private email he'd sent him. Nice , and ads more credence to the view of him as a sociopath thats seems to be growing.


Yes, they've not included Kimmage's appalling opening comment to Armstrong that his comeback was the "return of the cancer to the sport of cycling". That remark prompted LA's justified and quite restrained retort that the hack wasn't worth the chair he was sitting on. Punching his teeth down his throat might have been more appropriate.

As for the email, well. Bloke sends him an email accusing him of doping. Hmm....what to do? Engage a lawyer? Why bother? You now have the bloke's email. Use it to f*** him over as best you can. I'd have done the same.

Go Lance!

Ahh yes, but who noticed it many months before? Better to get the little worm in front of the world's press, get him to repeat it then stick the knife in.

The important story is in one of the links though:

[quote]But city water records suggested that his home has long been a guzzler of water, using an average of 158,000 gallons a month since January 2007. Then, in June, the cyclist shot ahead of the pack, topping the city’s list of residential water users for the first time, officials said. That month his house and garden drank up 222,900 gallons.


Now that is an awful lot of 20-minute showers.

Whatever, LA still showed admirable restraint.
