More Armstrong-like obfusaction and deflection. Wasn't it Cunobellin's turn?
now you've started arguing with the invisible man, you and Marin could do a double act
You don't know what sport you're missing Mac! Unignore and feed the trolls!

Can I add my thanks to yello, for his dedication and ability to maintain high standards throughout. I gave up trying to follow the meedya weeks ago and have relied on yello's posts to keep up to date..and I never had any standards to maintain in the first place.
So, I vote for yello to be awarded all of Armstrong's titles from 1998 onwards...

Why? It was pertinent to the point raised by david k and Tommy Simpson is an English cyclist the site of whose drug induced death is a revered shrine in English cycling and illustrates nicely the contrast in the way we treat drug taking then with drug taking now in cycling.
We did all this crap in a Cunobellin thread that got locked 2 weeks ago and here you are trying to divert the thread and conflate two separate issues yet again.

Lance Armstrong showed undoubted strength, determination and tenacity, to overcome cancer and also to 'win' the TdF (with or without drugs) so many times,
I've won very little in my life - and nothing in cycling; but if anyone contested the 'fairness' of what I have won, I'd never give up on trying to prove otherwise. And yet, Lance Armstrong is now willing to relinquish his titles, because he is 'tired' of fighting the charges against him; this appears to be at odds the 'fighting' qualities mentioned previously ?
Mind you, I notice that Nike, Armstrong’s biggest sponsor and partners in his Livestrong cancer charity, said they would continue to support him.
This is going to run & run . . . .
Frankly, we'd be better off just getting on our bikes and going for a ride . . . when the rain stops

Is this more information without knowledge, insight or understanding. More, Google is my brain and internet whispers are my understanding and context: I google, therefore I know.
No need to answer, just let me know if it ever changes.
eh, what?
