Except he's being sued because the postal service didn't like that he admitted he was on PEDs.
Okay. Not sure how that changes anything about my post.

THe grim reality is that by 2004 Pharmstrong was no stronger than other riders so he had to resort to having the corrupt UCI officials call in the riders who were beating him (and using the same methods) to threaten them. That's it --- once others started using the same stuff they were better than him again.
The most embarrassing thing about the uni-baller is yet to come out --- he probably used an electric motor. His teammates who trained with him and knew his fitness and drug program were baffled by how he would just show up on some days and ride much, much faster. Given what we know about electric motors, and the date they became available, and the deal rider 'X' came into an arrangement with the inventor (1999), there is only one logical conclusion as to who that was.
Watch the first minute of this interview with his former teammate:
Would you erase Mr Armstrong given the chance Mr Dope?
snitches get stitches.Fuck Lance. He was threatning journalist and teammates for trying to tell truth.
Two things:
1. Didn't he ruin peoples' lives that hinted that he may have not been on the up and up?
2. I thought the official line was that "Livestrong" was created to raise money for cancer "awareness" rather than cancer research. Therefore, how much money actually went to cancer research? I was aware that cancer existed before Lance became famous.
At least the Clinton foundation actually did provide HIV medications to the 3rd world. Not just feel good messages and 'awareness'. Livestrong is actually far worse imo.1. Yes - on a massive scale. He had a mafia behind him dealing out punishment. Bob Hamman, a legendary Texas gambler who was screwed by Pharmstrong, was one guy who wouldn't take it up the ass. This was one guy that Pharmstrong shouldn't have pissed off.
2. It was worse than that. livestrong operated like the Clinton foundation. Donations paid for his private plane and paid friends big salaries. He used the charity paid for travel as a vehicle to fund his for profit appearance fees.
THere was also a lot of "confuse people" with livestrong.org (notionally non-profit) and livestrong.com (for profit). People often didn't know which was which and whether money was going to the charity or the uni-baller's pocket.
