Why do people hate Lance?

[rich p]

I too am inspired by him. I aim to be less of an arrogant nob than he is and am sure that I shall succeed.

Don't make rash statements, Chuffy.

You'll regret saying that. I have time, money and lawyers. I can destroy you.



















Ooops....

OOoh I don't like Ricco. Apart from the drug thing, I just think he looks nasty!

Judging people on looks Lance is great, i don't know anyone personally who do not like him. a lot of jealousy maybe.

Not just 7 consecutive TdeF victories; he won the World Championships in 1993.

I think a lot of his humour is self-deprecating, which possibly doesn't come across very well as for him being an American.
I like and admire him.

Things you said 9 years ago come back to bite you!

 

[TheDoctor]

Because even in his autobiography he comes across as an arrogant, self-centered pr1ck?

I said this 9 years ago. I stand by it.

Funny this thread should pop back up. I had a go at Lance-the Prance (No idea why Hubster calls him that but it makes me smile) autobiography. I gave up as I found it so irritating. I am feeling less irritated by reading David Walsh's Seven Deadly Sins, which is a very good read.

Is planned training, having a physio, a nutritionist and a coach an advantage? Something to discuss at a bridge.

Surely Lance epitomises America?
