[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole story, and the vitriol it has provoked, tells you a lot about America.

It was clear at the time he was winning that he was doping. Yet he was a huge hero to you all.

Now he is down, everyone lines up to kick him with everything they have. Sociopath, sh!t, etc.

Why this about-face? Because Americans love winners, and hate losers.  You celebrate sociopaths when they are winning, but can't wait to kick a "loser" when he is down.

Shame on you all - for celebrating the cheater when he was winning, and for piling on once it has been decided he is a loser.[/quote]

Oh please, if Lars Ulrich or Ivan Basso won they would be celebrated in their countries too. I have followed cycling for many years once Ulrich, Basso, and many on the Euro teams had the huge doping scandal, it was clear to me that Armstrong was doping too. Cycling has a LONG history of cheating and doping. Most Americans don't follow cycling and are unaware of the doping history. I think the outrage is from Armstrong's years of denial and a general American love of "the underdog". Armstrong had cancer, beat it, and then won TdF.

I love how other countries LOVE to criticize America, yet when something happens you want us to help. America, for all its problems, is a pretty good place to live, especially if you are a woman. [/quote]
