Just watched the Lance Armstrong interview. He lied to us all so much that I am starting to doubt whether he even landed on the moon at all!

Decent point. Is it that Armstrong cheated which is the problem or that he cheated and won? It appears many cyclists cheat, or at least those in Armstrongs era did. Armstrong is just a higher profile example.

I'm more concerned that he was a controlling bully. The cheating doesn't particularly bother me.

I think the worst part of it with LA is that he was so vehement in his denial of being a cheat and for so long. He sued people because they said he was and lied under oath! If others had not told the truth I'm sure he would never have done so himself and would have continued to peddle his 'drug free' success.

Every day is a gift..That's why it's called the present.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

Stressed is just 'Desserts' spelt backwards
