why all the hate on Lance Armstrong

look what he accomplished while on drugs.

while I was on drugs I could barely walk to my car without falling down.

and once I made it there I had trouble driving a kilometre before crashing

and I did more than once.

I wouldn't have dared riding a bicycle on drugs like Lance and he won a few races.

I would think he would be congratulated for managing to stay upright much less winning :P

I really don't get all the people who asked for their money back. Does what Lance did somehow make cancer research less important?

I guess someone can argue the entire Armstrong foundation was built on fraud as he took steroids, but he's a cancer victim of course he's done steroids before....

I believe they accused him of using steroids. It's not the same thing :P

Steroids carry a large stigma in comparison to simple PEDs ( Albuterol, Clenbuterol, ephedrine, etc...), which don't.

I tend to separate the 'asshole terrible sportsman Lance Armstrong' trom the 'donates to charity humanitarian Lance Armstrong'. It makes discussing him a little easier.

I mean, he sounds like an unpleasant person in general, but he did some nice things for cancer research funding that people shouldn't demand back from him, fraud or not.

Some people don't see his doping as a bad thing. They argue that pretty much everyone is doping (which is probably true), and that Lance Armstrong was and still is badass (because if everyone else was doping too, Armstrong still beat their asses).

Regardless, I have no sympathy for him, because he was dumb enough to get caught. That's like, the number one rule when it comes to breaking the rules. Do whatever you want, just don't get caught.
