Lance Armstrong to be stripped of Tour de France titles and banned for life

[Ad@m]

I am dressing up as LA for our work's halloween party, got the livestrong t-shirt, bike helmet, sunglasses and of course pill bottles and syringes... just thought i'd share that with you!

This is even more proof that I don't understand Halloween.

It's a North American thing

He's on Oprah next Thursday evening, I suspect he'll be strenuously denying his previous denials.

[lovejoy]

I fear his appearance will not be the "throw himself at our mercy" apology it should be. It will be more like the defiant read all about it in my new book. the fact that the programme is advertising it as "allegations" of doping etc doesnt install much confidence.

I think there'll be a confession and apology of sorts, but he doesn't strike me as the sort of man who does contrition well, so he'd probably be better off sticking to his guns.

He's denied it for so long he's probably convinced himself by now.

He'll be looking purely at getting a ban lifted so he can compete on the Ironman circuit, after all he started life as triathlete, if I see him out on the Ironman Wales course in September I'll trip the twat up and swim over the cheating bastard in the washing machine.

You'll have to as you won't catch him on a bike, even if your as high as Keith Richards.

I'll be chuffed to finish the bike leg, 112 miles with 2500 metres of climbing, it's like a stage of the tour on its own, just before I run a marathon, looking forward to it!

[Jon Crofts]

No confession.
He has apologised to Livestrong employees.

That is all, what a fucking tool.

I know nothing about the Tour De France, and nothing about Lance Armstrong, but I know that I can't stand the guy.

I hope that everyone he sued for Libel over the juice sues him back with interest.

I'm actually very interested in this side of things.  Over the years he's successfully sued a lot of people for a hell of a lot of money, if he now admits that he was lying and they were telling the truth will there be a legal case for him to pay it back and publically apologise over tarnishing their reputations?

They will be queuing up to sue him, with the Sunday Times at the front of it.

Sunday Times is already on it. They took out a full page advert in the main Chicago daily paper today (Chicago is Oprahs hometown) with 12 questions for Lance. I hope they take him for every penny. He a lying, cheating, twat.

What were the questions?

My biggest problem with him is the number of people he's fucked over to try to keep the myth going.  Now he's admitted it I hope they nail him to the wall and take him for everything.
