He's done a 24hr race with former team mates and come 3rd.
He's posts up on FB about it and the adulation for him is quite unbelievable. I'd post a link but I don't know how from my phone.
One guy even said re. his road career he "beat the Europeans at their own game fair and square" 😮
He [i]did [/i]take drugs better than all of the Europeans though?
Why give him the oxygen?
It's Armstrong were talking about, not Roche
Don't.
He's a full-time tosser.
He beat people when they were all using drugs, he's beating people without drugs.
Fair enough
Two things that are best, and easily, avoided.
Armstrong and Facebook.
I don't mind Armstrong so much actually.
He seems like a proper classic psychopath, none of the wishy washy arsehole vibe that you get from Wiggins.
Hincape looked ripped in the photos, clearly retirement suits him well.

For those who are interested a write up here.
Seems like someone who just wants to ride a bike with some mates now. He'll have enough on his plate with the upcoming $79,000,000 lawsuit. I'd cut him a little slack. You can only hate for so long.

I think the Andreus, Lemond, O'Reilly & Bassons might disagree with you.
He needs to be hounded and then hounded again for what he did. He should be treated as a pariah. I thought he was banned from all competition anyway?
I like to casually troll him on there and his fans think he's christ, it's really quite spectacular.

Ignore - and block the newsfeed.

Charliethebikemonger has the right idea...

TJ 24hr races are ok for some reason

I think it'd be fun to race Armstrong tbh. And just imagine if he dnf'd. "Oh yeah, that time i beat Lance Armstrong? It was nothing really". I'd put him with my celebrity scalps, along with Guy Martin, Lewis Buchanan and Chipps "Chipps" Chippendale.
Cut him some slack 😯 . No hang the f***er out to dry.
Apparently Hitler was great around kids. Perhaps we should re-assess him too?
Thought he'd be easy to find out and cuss at but I've failed.
4 cheats get beaten by a team of high school kids.
Guess the hidden motors need a tune up.

He's only banned from sanctioned races, it's the only place USADA have juristiction.
He was the best at cheating in an era of cheaters, but that doesn't diminish the fact he was a horrible person. I'm not sure comparisons to Hitler are justified, "classic psychopath" seems reasonable.
To bring a more positive spin to all this Ant White (UK 24 hour veteran) won the Solo race by a good margin!
Tom_W1987 hitting the nail on the head there.

I think they have entirely different and completely justified reasons to hate.
The time of lying egomaniacs is back! #maga
I hope his membership at Mar-A-Lago hasn't lapsed. He could be in for a presidential pardon and a top job.
He cheated and lied...not that uncommon in professional cycling.

Proper lols
Just ignore Armstrong and let him deal with his past alone. Hounding him is simply bullying and merely stooping to his level.
He's a lying, cheating nutjob!
What's to like?
What's to forgive??

In fairness, he's rather publicly entered a race with some of his former team mates. That's hardly [i]"dealing with his past alone"[/i] is it...
He's a publicity fuelled sociopath (in a country that seems quite keen on those currently) and knows perfectly well that his turning up for any cycling event will draw the attention and comment that he adores... I can't believe nobody advised him (or indeed any of the other former USPS riders) against taking part.
I say Have at him haterz!
He's just gone and put himself up for it, Yet again...
Yes, so don't give him any attention. Simple and much more pleasant that the bullying alternative that some are proposing.
I nothing him, I don't wish him well or ill.

You're vociferously hateing him via a pseudonym on an internet forum he's not a member of.
Ultimately he probably doesnt give two hoots what STW think, and you're just shortening your own life getting stressed and wasting time hateing someone you've never met doing a race on the other side of the plannet.
"What would Lance do?"
Apparrently enter a 24h race with friends. Past indiscretions asside I think he wins Vs whiny cockbags of STW being whiny cockbags.

And remember kids, ranting about a cheat from a decade ago makes the sport cleaner today.

And the sense of proportion award goes to................
For those of you who wish to forgive or/and adulate a cheating, lying nutjob - it doesn't say a lot about you as a person.,
He who has no sins cast the first stone

Continually getting frothed into a rage on the internet about a cheat from over a decade ago who they've never met doesn't say much about a person either
Hardly getting frothed - more an observation.
I just question those who think that LA should be forgiven really don't know & understand the scale of his deception.
A deception so big that the US Gov want nearly $100m off him for fraud..
Not to mention the lives he wrecked along the way to said fortune.
A despicable low life who deserves all he gets - his fans are no better.

US Postal would have done alright from cycling jersey sales - every man and his dog was wearing one at the time! 😀

I've got one, but it's fake. I feel I have the moral high ground

Nah - you're responsible for keeping children in workhouses. You're worse than evil. I bet you kill baby robins too!
Are Trek suing him as well? They made ruddy millions on the back of Lance. No one would have been seen dead on a Trek roadbike before he came along.
