Armstrong threatens fellow rider

Armstrong is now being accused by Italian cyclist Filippo Simeoni that he recieved threats from Armstrong for testifying against friend Michele Ferrari who is a sports doctor for providing athletes with drugs.

In my opinion Lance is a dick. Just because he came back from cancer doesn't mean he's a nice guy

He most likely uses steroids. Nobody is that good.

Simeoni can say whatever he wants to. Does he have proof? No. All a bunch of heresay and slander. Most of the riders in the peleton agree that Simeoni is an idiot.

As for the steroid remark, show me a positive drug test.

I guess Wayne Gretzky must have used steroids eh Danlger? Michael Jordan?

Really, sometimes you should just not hit the add reply button.

Well he has won six tour de frances in a row he is 34 years old and he is in a sport that is known to be one of the worst ones out there for doping. Drug tests mean nothing nowadays becaus there are steroids that don't even show up in blood or urine tests. So sue me for being a cynic, but it seems every friggin athlete is on performance enhancing drugs these days. You don't have to cry about it because I doubted your hero.

3 other people have 5 wins in a row, Lance broke the record with 6. So, yes, he is that good and other people are that good.

Lance Armstrong is not my hero and I wasn't crying.

I am impressed by what he's been able to do at the greatest cycling event in the world. I'm also impressed or have been impressed with other riders like Miguel Indurain and Jan Ullrich.

If doping is so prevalent in the sport doesn't that put everyone back on even footing then?

I never said Lance Armstrong wasn't a great athlete. However I am suspicious as I am sure many others are that he could be doping.

"If doping is so prevalent in the sport doesn't that put everyone back on even footing then?"

Touche.
