You guys like Lance Armstrong?
1. I have talked to him personally at a race/bar after party and he is the most arrogant bastard ever! I couldn't believe it! Maybe it's because he has half a nad?
Anyway, I'm watching Intervention a few nights ago and it was about a world class cyclist named Beck or something like that... He was a world class cyclist and was signed on to the US Postal team... He was then invited to train at the US Olympic camp. Lance Armstrong was one of the trainers there. "Beck" Was introduced to Lance Armstrong, when they met "Beck" sarcastically says "Hey dough boy", and poked him in the stomach", obviously a joke...
Lance got so mad that he had Beck removed from the Olympic team, and lost his contract with the US postal service. Beck turned to drugs, addicted to crack and has been living on the streets ever since...
F' Lance Armstrong. There's more info to this story on google.

Beck turning to drugs and living on the streets sounded like a personal problem, But Mr. Livestrong acting all might and mighty and getting mad like that is weak

lance is a dick and he knows it. does he care? no. just like a lot of successful/famous people. there are many people "at the top," some of them easily forget about how they got there or who's toes they might have stepped on - we call these people douchebags. it's when you see genuinely non-self-serving athletes/celebrities/famous people that puts an optimistic feeling in your heart "i guess not everyone is a doucher". we all know people that have had a *bit* of success, and when they did, they came off like the world owed them a favor. Lance is one of these people.
but does this mean he is a ****ty cyclist? absolutely not. the best evAr, in fact.

Let's not forget that after becoming famous, Lance pretty much dumped his wife who nursed him through his cancer and supported his ambitions at expense of her own career and ambitions...so he can get engaged (even if briefly) to Sheryl Crow not that long after...
In January 1997, Kristin Richard met Lance Armstrong, the Texas cyclist who at the time was battling testicular cancer. Kristin was working for an advertising and public relations firm in Austin, Texas, when she first met him at a press conference. She recalls he had just finished his chemotherapy.
A year after they met, Kristin and Lance were married in Santa Barbara, California. Kristin quit her public relations job, rented her house, sold her Miata, and moved to France with Lance so he could focus on cycling. While Lance went on to beat cancer and win the Tour de France five times during their marriage, Kristin became a stay-at-home mom and raised their three young children (a son and then twin daughters) in the French Riviera. What appeared to be a perfect marriage ended after five years of marriage when Lance and Kristin announced their divorce in 2003.
