DAILY ****** Fri 24th Aug 2012 USADA TARGET LANCE TITLES By Jim Nobrainer Lance Armstrong has been punished enough. This is now a vendetta perpetrated by spiteful bigots. Why should he be stripped of titles he cheated to win? It's short sighted, petty and over the top. His poor fans didn't do anything wrong. Why should they be punished? **** the fans of all the other cyclists, they are not important. Cycling can't survive without Lance Armstrong. He should be allowed to do what he wants. The rules should be changed or ignored with impunity. Bradley Wiggins should be allowed buy his history whilst dumping all the drugs and cheating bad bit, and any unpaid bills or taxes that happen to be due (**** them), and thereby become the most successful cyclist in history. He would have then have to call himself 'The' Lance Armstrong but we would be happy to report on him as if nothing had changed as long as he keeps the succulent lamb and fine red wines coming. Is that too much to ask??
I'd love to see what happens with the football stadium in Kansas now. It's called the Livestrong Park or something after his charity, and they have a massive ****ing directors box which takes up almost a whole corner of the stadium, with one big chair painted yellow to show it's Armstrong's chair for life. Probably just change the name to "The" Livestrong Park...
If you build it they will come. I should point out this is a borrowed piece from a mate's (Tony Hamilton) blog.

The Lance Armstrong Conundrum[/h] Lance Armstrong is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable sportsmen the world has ever seen. Not only did he win seven consecutive Tours de France, but he did so after recovering from cancer. He was given a less than 50% chance of survival, but recovered to win over and over again probably the most arduous major sporting event in the world. His reign from 1999 to 2005 left few neutral. Many saw him as a heroic figure – showing that cancer did not mean the end of a useful life and that sufferers could throw off the disease, and excel in what they did. He set up a foundation which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research and to help cancer sufferers and their families.As well as doing all of that, he was able to pedal up, over and down the mountains and plains of France faster than anyone else. He could only be Superman... contd...
