How about when he admitted to calling the one teammate's wife a liar and a bitch, but felt compelled to say that he hasn't called her fat?

I dont se any videos at that link... does it only work at 9 pm?

You all ask for him to confess and when he does you scream "well, he didn't confess good enough". Give it up people.

It's not the fact that he lied. This man ruined people for not keeping his lie a secret. He is not confessing because he finally wants to tell the truth. Dont be naive, he wants something. Even during his confession he's a smug *@shole.

Hey, that's what happens when you lie. It starts small and then you have to tell more lies to cover it. While not right, I can see how there was probably huge pressure to play into the fairy tale/role model image.

And we don't know why he's confessing, so I won't make judgements on whether he's sincere or not.

Except for the making-the-world-safer part. Details.

Um, not the goblin, Lex Luthor, joker or bane and the rest of them

Those are villains. Which are, by definition, the opposite of heros. Duh.

Do you really think that it is unimportant that Emma O'Reilly feared that his lawsuit against her would bankrupt her?

How exactly did Lance ruin these people? Are they now homeless bums in the streets of America?

No. Stringer Bell is HOT. Lance Armstrong looks like a weasel.

Also, 4 pages and NO ONE has said, at least he had the ball to admit to doping? NO ONE?

No matter what he did, you don't go after a man's balls. That's hitting below the belt..HA!

You mean his ba- ...npoe, nope, nope. Not gonna go there.

I don't think the average person realizes how rampant the practice is at sports' most elite levels.

you are really dumb. having a team (literally, a large team) of attorneys bombard you with litigation that you cannot afford to defend, all the while Lance is blackballing you in your chosen profession, can ruin someone.

No, it couldn't. It could embarrass/frustrate/scare/anger/etc you, but it can't "ruin" you. Stop being so damn dramatic.

The only reason he admitted it was for his own advantage. Why give him kudos at such a late date for that?

And that makes it right? Makes it okay to lie about it?

Doesn't make it right but I do think all the moral outrage and righteous indignation is a bit over the top. There are far worse sins in life.

What advantages would those be exactly? Do you have concrete evidence or just out of your ass speculation?
