    People forget what a great swimmer Armstrong was as a youth before he ever got involved in triathlon around age 15. That feel for the water and basic technique doesn't go away, which is why he was able to resume training and come out of the water here within seconds of the lead.

    It is easy to forget how talented and driven this guy is, even at 16 Lance was beating 25 and 30 year old pro triathletes. He was unlucky to be in an era of cycling where everyone doped, it overshadowed how good he really was because people think that he won only because he cheated. If everyone including lance were clean he still would have won and people that know pro cycling well all admit that Lance is still an all time great if not the greatest of all time.

    • @Big_Island_Boi
      @Big_Island_Boi 2 роки тому

      Uh... no. I know pro-cycling plenty well and I do not consider Armstrong either great in any way--aside from perhaps the greatest cock-sucking douchebag cheating pro cyclist in the history of the sport. He is a quintessential narcissist, a liar, a bully, a fraud, a thief. He's a legend alright... but the legend is about how NOT to act as a professional athlete... or as a human being. He didn't cheat to win just once... he did it over and over and over again--robbing the Tour de France of SEVEN years of winners. That scar will be on the sport forever.

    • @howdyl6456

    I used to be a die hard fan of Lance. Not anymore. I don't talk down on him as I don't have the right to do so. When he was doping, all the other top riders were on drugs so it was a level playing field in that respect. But the biggest difference is that Lance really did wage a brutal war on anyone who questioned his honesty. Many of those people were no saints either and were just looking for their 15 minutes of fame by trying to pull Lance down, I'll give you that. But still it was a very nasty business from him indeed, he pretty much tried everything to ruin those people's lives. I still regard him as an exceptionally talented and amazing athlete, nobody in their right minds would question that. I just lost my respect for him as a decent human being.

I would add that when a lie has gotten as big as it did (almost considered a god amongst men, fighting cancer, livestrong etc) it becomes almost impossible to tell the whole truth, and you would do almost anything in order to maintain the lie. Cant say most men wouldn't have done the same, although it takes a "sociopathic" personality to get to that stage in the first place.

      Carbon, I get what you are saying, but as TheSteninbitt wrote, he was a sociopath who tried to stop his lie from getting out, so he actively tried to bully those who were trying to tell the truth. I cant say who started their side first, Lance being a bully and trying to destroy lives or those who were telling their story, but the thing of it is, he was in the wrong, so he should have just admitted it and used "EVERYONE was doping" as an argument. I already knew that everyone was, so I would have supported him, and other people like me, if he would have simply said "Yeah, you got me. I doped like a MFer, and this is how I did it."

Also of course some kid dying of dehydration is a bigger issue but it's also a very separate issue, who are you to tell me what to have opinions on? Lance was utterly ruthless to those who spoke out against what he did, that in my view makes him a very bad human being. He is a man without integrity or a conscience. He has cast a long lasting dark shadow on a great sport.

    Lance is beast!! He is probably the greatest athlete of all time.

I raced bikes for 10 years and I've never come remotely close to hurting as much as I did to hang on to some blistering breakaways since I quit racing. So here you have it, he can handily beat everyone 'clean' in a world class triathlon as well as doped (as they all were back then) in arguably the most gruelling professional sport in the world.

  • @Kiryienka97
    @Kiryienka97 11 років тому +21

    Alright, haven't you all (commenters) beaten this to death already?
    Ok, Armstrong doped, but let's put some things into perspective:
    1) You and I probably weren't professional cyclists in the early 2000s. We have no real bearing or gauge on the scale and pressure of doping in this time other than the testimony and confessions of the riders and teams which experienced it.
    1b) There is good ground to assume most cyclists in this era were doping, the best example being 1998, the 'Tour du Dopage'.
    2) He doped in cycling. Here we are now in triathlon, and I, despite never supporting Armstrong, am quite disappointed in the way some people are reacting. Unless or until there is some kind of proof that Armstrong is doping still, his tri results are completely valid and respectable.
    3) A kind of double standard is being set in the Armstrong hate comments, in that nobody really had or has much argument about Ullrich, Vinokourov, Contador, E. Merckx, and many other famous cyclists who doped in their career.

      @1001chillout 9 років тому +7

      Keith Greenan a great athlete no doubt, and maybe on a level playing field where no one was doping he may have won. But without cheating during that time while everyone else was, he would have been middle of the pack at best. The doping just helps out too much to be able to beat them.

    • @keithgreenan1850
      @keithgreenan1850 9 років тому +1
