I hate the French. They are as despicable as any leftist in the world. They all suck. Just like any Democrat on our soil they can't handle losing. Why is that?

Are they such sore losers that they just can't accept the truth? It would sure seem so. Lance Armstrong is a stand up American with total integrity. He has never been tested positive for drugs yet they (the French) continue to attack him. How pathetic is that? Memo to the French: GET OVER IT YOU PATHETIC LOSERS. YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT THIS ATHLETE JUST AS YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE STONES TO DEFEAT GERMANY. You should apologize to Lance Armstrong and show the world that you are not as slimey as you are acting. You are behaving like the liberal spoiled brats that you are. You are embarrassing yourselves. Get over it losers. Otherwise next time a tyrant invades your country America will leave you to your own devices. Is that what you really want?

I have no idea whether he was on a drug or not (the poll didn't mention what drug though, who knows what it was meant for. Some answering may assume that he is on something. Whatever that something may be).

They will only be happy if a European wins their little game (I only call it that because that is what they are acting like it is, some little game that they didn't win). To the French, any American who suceeds over there in their Tour must have cheated. How quickly they forget.

I believe Lance and I don't think it will hurt his rep. The French can't win anything so they're sore about it.

Knowing the French, they would make an appeal to a foreigner to Liberate the Tour de France by cycling for them. That person would be doped up to be sure it happens and they would deny any of it.

Face it, France, you suck! :france:

I'd never believe the French, ever. They'll do anything to smear Americans. http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/images/smilies/peefrance.gif

Doping and roids are so easy to detect. When I went to powerlifting contests they would test people all the time and bust em all the time. If they were that good at that level consider how good testing is at Olympic or Tour level.


Its all BS with Lance. One goof says he has a sample that tested positive and has no real proof. No chain of evidence, no wittness to the testing, just his word.

[Federal Farmer]

The only dope involved is that of L'Equipe. They have it in for Armstrong showing themselves to be the epitome of the sore losers they are.

[BEST45CAL]

Lance has been under the microscope since the beginning of his career. As a result, he is perhaps the most studied and tested invididual in sports history.

If you call him a freak, he will say "thanks" because he really thinks that's a compliment. This man is not a normal human. He has the ability to do what a very tiny population of the world can do and has all the tests to prove it.

What's so fishy about all of this, is that the blood sample in question was taken way back in 1999!

During Lance's last Tour, the "random" drug testing after each stage always included Armstrong. Hmmmmmmmm...

The French and liberal strategies are the same: Bring someone down instead of admit that they are better than you.

[Federal Farmer]

From what I understand the samples were also not marked John Doe or Lance Armstrong either, but with some number system so that I question whether they could even prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the sample in question is his.

[CzechPrince]

I think they should stop bitching and accept the fact Armstrong kicked everyone's ass.
