"The now disgraced Texan has agreed to sit down with Cyclingnews Editor Daniel Benson for a face-to-face interview in his new temporary home in a sleepy suburban district of Austin."

part 2 is already out too, Pedro. Same obfuscation, lies, self-justification and bullshit.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I have lost interest in Lance Armstrong and his lies. He should slide back under his stone in my opinion and only be quoted when he is in front of a judge and utters the word "guilty" when asked how he pleads.

I know that might seem harsh to some who he inspired but that's how I feel.

He still keeps banging on about being only willing to tell the whole truth to WADA or the UCI.
What's stopping him FFS? Go on then Lancey boy - I'm sure they'll listen. Feckin' tosser.

I am sure it is a case of "i'll tell all if you reduce my ban, if you don't then you will never know everything". Even now he is simply doing what serves him best in the position he finds himself. His one admirable quality is that he is a born fighter - sadly though he fights only for himself or his own interests. He still tries to manipulate everyone and everything around him.

As for him crawling under a rock or disappearing? Not gona happen anytime soon i'm afraid. Every doping case or grand tour winner will be linked with Armstrong by the media, not to mention the multitude of big screen tales due out in the next few years.

Part 2

[Noodley]

Ignore him.

I am.

Those in the media who did not speak out before should, in my opinion, try to make some kind of effort to ignore him now. And not scurry off to speak to him on his terms. Nobbers.

...only be quoted when he is in front of a judge and utters the word "guilty" when asked how he pleads.

Exactly.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I find it fascinating. Not so much what he is saying, although there are still some interesting things in there, but his whole manner, which is still very much someone who is utterly sure of himself and convinced of his integrity and superiority.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

I also agree with him about the similarities between him David Walsh. Of course that is also part of the ongoing battle between them...

 

[Hont]

I read about two paragraphs before realising, as Rich P says, that it was just self-serving bullshit. I see from the headline of part 2 (I have no interest in reading further) that he claims to have ridden clean in 2009. Sorry Lance we don't like your credibility.

Last time I posted what I thought of LA I got a PM off of them mods

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Have you spent the intervening time working out how to say it in less offensive language?

To be ****ing fair I couldn't see **** all wrong with it in the ****ing first place and he's still a ****.

He doesn't see himself in the wrong, his manner very much indicates that, still sees himself as no different to everyone else.

Presumably, your opinion has not changed much since?
