They really did him dirty, everyone in this sport dopes. 500watts for 30 minutes is insane. I doubt most roidtrannies here could do half that for 10 minutes.
>>76638900Yeah public wasn't ready to know that. But it was never going to be pretty. Why not a cyclist?
>>76638919>public wasn't ready to know thatWho decided that
>>76638965Their emotional bias for believing dumb shit and the fact that they're still gullible about the subject means the bandaid never was ripped entirely off. You got from the early 00s having somewhat serious tv about psychic phenomena, ghosts and ufos on prime time to God is dead and so is santa in less than a decade yeah there's gonna be people who just insulate.
>>76638900The thing about Lance wasn't him being doped up, as everyone was. It was him being an abusive dick to his team mates. Hyperproductive psychos like Lance can't fathom that most people aren't as driven. His downfall was a revenge.
>>76638900that's Floyd Landis
>>76638919This. Sportspeople and celebrities are groomed for their positions. Every one of them are on PEDs and are peds.
>>76639342...the Pink Floyd of osteonecrosis.
Juicing after losing a nut is more of a morally grey area and he never get a shred of sympathy over this either.
>>76638900I can do 213 watts for 30 minutes. I thought I was pretty good. I now know that I am not even half the man Lance Armstrong is.
>>76639227Elites are usually like that. He probably made them better though
why is his name armstrong and not legstrong?
>>76640207The universe has a sense of humor
He got fucked over hard. I was a college athlete not long before that time so I knew he was getting shafted knowing how many people in college were doping and on teams.I always had the impression he was sick of cycling so he just went with it. Do something for hours everyday years on end it can get incredibly boring.
>>76638900Everyone at the time was doping (and they still are, no one thinks pogacar is natty), the reason the public turned on Lance was his attitude about it and his actions towards others
>>76640570Sounds like the public needs to grow a pair
gear is basedcycling is for faggotscycling is not /fit/
>>76642322How is cycling not /fit/?
>>76638900>They really did him dirty, everyone in this sport dopes.Yes. But it's against the rules so he doesn't deserve any pity.Not him nor anyone else in the sport
>>76642331Doesn't make your biceps bigger
>>76639446213 for 30 minutes is grandma tier. 250 watts for 30 minutes is 'ok' 300 is good.
Everyone at the highest level is doping. Do you noobs really think, NFL, NBA, Soccer ect are natty? Do you really think a dude like Carlos Alcaraz isnt juicing? Hell even shit like F1, Golf they are ripping amphetamines. Even fucking chess lol. Actors, Influencers anyone you think is big, explosive, fast shredded. If you want to make money with your body you need to be on the hot sauce or you will be out and gone QUICK trust me brother.
>>76638900so he could power 5 lightbulbs for 30 minutes? that doesn’t sound impressive at all. bikes confirmed as useless and gay
>>76639227Kobe was like that and it's celebrated
>>76638900It was mostly that Youreapeeins were butthurt that an American was so thoroughly dominating the France Tour
>>76641472I blame the boomers. It was well known in the 40s and 50s before boomers were in control that athletes prior to events would take stimulants.There should just be limits e.g. you can't have bodybuilder levels.
>>76639351Itd take fucking forever to get someone to still have to outskill their peers natural vs roided not even peak. You forget the cops would raid all the football players houses in their tight pants if they found out every pro in some sports are in fact roided.
>>76638900>>76639342>>76639356>OP try to make Neil Armstrong thread>accidentally Kenesaw Mountain Landis instead
>>76639227thats how the Tour works. you have a team setup to help one person win. And its whoever is most likely to be able to do it. you have sprinters, climbers, pelaton pacers etc. all their just for their best player to hopefully win
>>76638900>everyone in sport dopesFTFY
>>76642638Truth
>>76642820>There should just be limits e.g. you can't have bodybuilder levels.I disagreeLet them all juice to the maximum
>>76642629Shut the fuck up lol
>>76638900Everyone in all sports dopes. Everyone doing instagram, tiktok, etc. all cheats using photoshop. Ignore the fake and focus on being natural.
>>76638900A cyclist driving bicycles driving bicycles, what could have gone wrong?
>heh fucking roid trainnes>brings up fucking lance armstrongYou're joking right?
>>76645334He's probably mocking roiding lifters
>>76638965you really had to be alive at that time. lance was celebrated as a demigod in a country that doesn't give a flying fuck about road cycling. it was the most inspiring come back story of all time; a guy with stage four testicular cancer recovers and goes on to win multiple titles in the hardest endurance race in sports. there was a deep emotional investment from just about anyone who was diagnosed with cancer or knew someone who was, regardless of whether they rode a bike or not, regardless of whether they even participated in ANY sport. it was like a psychic hold on the whole country.
>>76645353I mean, roids or not that's pretty impressive no?
>>76642663By who? Every media piece I see of Kobe gives me the impression that he was an unsufferable dick.Same as Steve Jobs.
>>76642638Yes, I watch athletics in which the Kenyans and Jamaicans are notoriously dopers. Usain Bolt was definitely juiced because 1. He beat records from other confirmed dopers and 2. Some of his Jamaican colleagues were caught doping He just was smart enough to evade positive results.
>>76645475We should create a new Olympics where drugs are allowed. All of themA Mr Olympia but for other sports
>>76645480You'd actually be amazed how many performance-enhancing substances are non-prohibited. It's definitely at least into the tens of thousands if you count every chemical with like one deranged China myoblast assay.
>>76639227all road cyclists are faggotsthey destroyed Lance because he was an American and destroyed EurocucksThen Landis did the same and they treated him the sameAll those Eurofags that won and were caught doping didn't get their wins taken away and when they did they weren't dragged through the mud Cycling is a European sport and they are pissy bitches
>>76645480thats already happening its called the enhanced games
>>76645480>olympics>clean brothere is some new shit going aroundcycling records are being obliterated and so are running recordsall happened suddenly post covid
>>76645739covid vax ped DO NOT RESEARCH
>>76645739>there is some new shit going aroundThe best "trainers" finally started looking for weirder "supplements" than a GNC stocks, kek.
>>76638900yup just like how everyone in baseball roids, and the sport has been rigged since forever (the reason why roboumps still arent used in the majors).ffs profar got popped for hcg on pct and normies freaked haha. oh yea these guys play sometimes 20 days in a row and can recover by the next day??? Lolsports can be fun to watch (I enjoy baseball) but enjoy it for what it is, a bunch of roided up people who are playing fixed matches, just like WWE.
>>76645416but Jobs was open about his rampant drug use, and bullied wozniak and that other guy ronald wayne to actually build exciting tech. the apple ][ lisa and shit was insane at the time and btfo'd xerox.all Kobe did was bounce a ball and slam dunk his family into mountain
>>76645337Still, man was on the fucking sauce, probably not the poster boy you want for a thread ripping on guys who roid
