So Livestrong might now have a new meaning. (Armstrong busted)

How do you feel about energy drinks in e-sports!?
This post is adorable.
they dont go far enough
that's why i taped tiny adrenaline filled needles onto my keyboard to boost my apm
But instead of running around and fucking your girlfriend you are laying down mad combos in streetfighter or whatever.
If the combo ever ends your heart stops.
This is pretty much my line of thought, I can understand that he might have concerns about his family but if I knew I was clean I wouldn't let that shit go
It seems like when a company settles a case for tens of millions of dollars but never technically admits guilt, yes there can be other factors but giving up means the other side has at least something right about you
The proper term is phArmstrong. Jeez.
Also, USADA's case isn't actually about Lance doping himself, its about conspiracy to distribute and administer drugs.
They were going after the doctors (Del Moral) and the sporting director (Brunyeel), and offered Lance the chance to testify like the rest of the up-till-now anonymous teammates, and he declined.
Given his position on the team, and with the backing company (Tailwind) he was brought to charge instead.
There is evidence of the 2001 Tour de Suisse failed test that the UCI covered up, but that is being used to corroborate the conspiracy charges, iirc, afaik, ianal, wtf, bbq, esq.
I met the guy once. I was giving a presentation to him to try and convince him that a sponsorship to the Children's Hospital would look really good.
Dude was fucking around on his phone the entire presentation and blew us off in like the least nice way possible.
So yeah, I can attest to that reputation.
Coran Attack!
There is no such thing as a captain america formula in the world of PEDs. Regardless of the substances taken, the same hard work and dedication still exists.
Justin Gatlin has several olympic medals and has served a ban for testing positive before. I'm not sure that last statement holds.
Steam
Eddy Merckx
He was a cyclist who did stuff other than the Tour de France
And won that stuff too
Like, in addition to winning France five times
He was accused of doping a bunch too, but come on, look at the guy:
Steam
Jens Voigt, the old man of the peloton at 40, showed the younguns how to do a proper break away several times this year, is a lovely chap
Miguel Indurain, Big Mig, won the tour 5 times on the trot, had the lung capacity of a whale
Brad Wiggins, the man of the moment, Britains most famous mod, delivered a genius 'And now for the raffle numbers..' when handed the microphone after his tour win
Graeme Obree, a mad Scottish genius, refused to go pro because he didn't want to take drugs, built his own bikes that were so radical they were banned by the UCI
Strong stance tube, but I can't think of anything else that combines human and machine in such a visceral sporting manner, so maybe!
Steam
I've got a bag of fun yuns here. Will that work?

Sybian jousting.
You might be thinking of autologous blood doping, which is harder to screen for than hormonal blood doping, but it's also potentially really fucking gross.
This is essentially the issue. Testing methods don't have to be ten years behind hotshit new designer pharmaceuticals to fail. It's a style of doping contingent on replicating upper margin conditions in the body. It's not like juicing the shit out of your muscles for a long term increase in mass; you just need to boost your red blood cells/VO2 max for the short term performance gain in an endurance event.
Too heavy on the machine! I want to see those thighs grinding up the hills, the buttocks loaded for that 400 meter sprint, the sweat pouring from those sun-scoured grimaces of pain!
Not a little colourful blob nodding around a cockpit.
I am inclined to believe that armstrong is probably guilty of some kind of PED use, but also that WADA's evidence probably isn't completely compelling (else this wouldn't have gone on for ten years or however long it's been.) If they're planning to rely on testimony from floyd landis et al, I dunno man
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
I suppose this way is the best for Lance. Those who believe in him will continue to support him, while those who think he did drugs will feel like justice was done. It's hard to convince either side to change their views, other than him admitting outright he did drugs.
WoW
Dear Satan.....
I love Big Mig. I mean, say what you want about the cloud of suspicion over doping in cycling, but that guy was just a freak. There's not a PED in the world that will give you a resting heart rate below 30 and the VO2 max that guy had. It's like Phelps or Thorpe: you just can't dope to provide the kind of basic physiological advantages of truly exceptional individuals.
