Nobody gave a shit about that sport before Lance the Liar grabbed the spotlight and nobody really has since.
By the way, do we have any proof that he really did have testicular cancer, or was it all just his word on that? Which as we now know, is worth about as much as a ten-lira coin.
Well, you can't exactly hide the effects of chemotherapy, what with the notion of chemotherapy being to bring you so close to death that the cancer cells all die, but without, y'know, you actually dying. And Lance did show those effects back in '95 or so, so I think he likely did have cancer of some sort. I always viewed his recovery from that to become a better racer than he'd been *before* the cancer as pretty much impossible without massive amounts of steroids, HGH, testosterone supplements, etc. though. No friggin' way that two years after nearly being dead, you're a friggin' bicycling god, unless you're juiced more than a jug of orange juice.

I give a crap about cycling. There are three bicycle clubs in Manhattan alone. The biggest one has over 3,000 members.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I don't give a flying flapdoodle about guns.
De gustibus non disputendum est. Don't blame me for Lance and I won't blame you for Sandy Hook.

You want to ride a bike? Fine by me. But that's not going to stop me from lampooning a "sport" where the key factor for victory is who has the best pharmacist.
