Mother Nature says it's not nice to self-administer HGH, testosterone, and whatever else Armstrong caused his own cancer with. It's sad his entire public reputation is a fraud.

by G_E_R_R_Y September 3, 2012 3:45 PM EDT: To say he caused his own cancer is nothing but a very snide comment. His cancer was many years before his seven Tours and is most likely unrelated to his bicycle racing, but don't let facts stand in the way of a holier-than-thou condemnation.
