Comments on: Lance Armstrong Puts Brakes On Retirement

7-Time Tour De France Winner Will Compete In 2009 Event, Raise Cancer Awareness

[barbaraf4]

Lance Armstrong should stay retired. It will be soooo embarrassing when he comes in last in his next race.

The performance-enhancing drug game is just that, a game. It''s about designing new drugs before they''re detectable and staying ahead of the law. It''ll always be one thing or another, especially when you''re dealing with substances that enhance red blood cell density or oxygen carrying capacity.
Very, very rarely at that elite level of performance in any sport do you see a sudden burst of energy by an athlete that isn''t due to drugs.

you must be basing your ''''best'''' status on your own deluded standards.

Sounds like you and cbs-tom could be a little jealous,,seems how you go right to name calling. Usually a sign of weak debating skills. Or just ignorance. Either way,,,

[gce65]

Stay retired.
I think he probably used performance-enhancing drugs at one time or another, even though he passed all the scheduled tests.
He''s a great cyclist by any means, especially after coming back from cancer, but he ought to just give it a rest. History has not favored comebacks in the sporting world.

"Ain''''t nobody jealous of Lance Armstrong, at least I''''m not. They guy has no discernable talent, other than riding a bicycle. Which I''''ve been doing that since I was 4 yrs old, or there abouts.
I won''''t go into all of my talents, but I have plenty, and Lance has just the one".

And I guess all athletes have no talent according to you because they tend to focus in one area.
When their riding 21 consecutive races ranging from 60 to 150 miles over mountains, I''d say that takes a certain amount of skill and stamina. And, since he has been payed well, his single talent probably is more lucrative than yours.

"Nobody is jealous of this one-trick pony jerk".

I believe he has won 7 Tour De'' France races. That''s not a one-trick pony.
I will agree that he probably should remane retired so as to not be remembered for the races that he lost.

[Of course,,,,,,]

picking toe jam out w/ your teeth is not a talent ... at least it''s not recognized by the governing body overseeing pompously conceited fools claiming superiority on an online message thread.

you must be basing your ''best'' status on your own deluded standards.

[slim1h2o]

are you the best in the world w/ ''''any'''' of your many talents? have you repeatedly been the best more than a half a dozen times? are you even close?

There will always be those who are jealous of others fame. The physical training these athletes face is excruciating. Probably the most physical.
Good luck to him.

Good god, are all you people really this stupid, or do you just try exceptionally hard to convince everyone else that you are? ROFL

This guy has spent his career training for and winning cycling races. Who are you to tell him he can''t return to his career if he so chooses, or to criticize it?

For the other types of morons, Armstrong is the most drug tested athlete in history, and he has NEVER ONCE failed a test, and all the YEARS he''s taken them.

The guy is clean, he''s class, and he''s an American sports hero. Your jealousy is really pathetic.

[cbs_tom]

Nancy,
What he used was for his cancer.

[greeneyes222]

Frankly, I''m over Lance Armstrong. What a jerk.

[delfmast]

editorialstaff net notes: Again we must remind our readers that Lance failed, repeatedly, to teach the French surrender monkey bike riders to win their own bike race. We do not understand Lance''s obsessive need to help the French reclaim their bike riding glory, but since "Sarko" appears to be trying to lead his once free nation out of old Europe''s socialism quagmire, any help that Lance can provide their sports team should be applauded. If Lance can bring their bikers out of ignominious defeat, perhaps their Foreign Legion forces could be released, to covertly eliminate Mugabe, or the Burma junta, and thus rejoin the free world''s efforts to stay free, all thanks to Lance''s teaching efforts. One would hope the "can''t beat Lance" club would not be allowed to change their colors, if they ever manage to beat this old man, even if he competes long enough to need a walker to get to the starting point and win their little bike race, again.

[momofdaisy]

This guy is so annoying. Just looking at him makes my skin crawl. Let France keep him.

[iknowbest-2009]

Another pathetic athlete who can''t muster the dignity to live a life outside the spotlight. Can''t wait for his vacuous, vacant stare to be plastered over the media again, lucky us. Too bad he dumped his family at the curb - now Johnny One Nut has nothing to retire to, so we''ll be forced to watch his inability to deal with his own mortality played out while riding bicycles. Mid life crisis, much?

[smurfcrusher]

What''s this FRS stuff he''s pedaling?

Some performance enhancement that isn''t detected? ;)
