I love the fact that he’s taking the entire sport down with him (why else open himself up to lawsuits and the rest). The whole “sport” is chemically powered (and cycling isn’t the only one). We want manufactured sports stars. We want home run machines. We want celebrity athletes to sell shoes. We want Olympiads that break record after record. We reward the winners and the winners will do what it takes to provide what we want. To pretend otherwise is hypocrisy at it’s finest when we reward cheaters by the metric ton of endorsement contracts.
Armstrong laughs all the way to the bank (how much was he paid by Oprah?), while we get endless analyses and reports to distract us from the truth about the financial toilet created by the system that protects him. An astute and funny comic. Especially keeping in mind the one on College Football as Slavery. You could be establishing your own genre of satire and commentary!
I #$&*ing love your stuff, sir. So funny and so damn smart. Well played.
