Won 7 Tour De Frances (ON STEROIDS) which was administered through his cancer medication, thus undetectable.

I lived in Austin for 5 yrs where there are regular lance-sitings, and the general consensus is that the guy is definitely a total douche bag. i have heard countless stories from friends/coworkers/etc that had a run-in with him, and he was either a prick or a douche bag. one of my friends who is a bartender once had to help escort lance armstrong out of a warehouse district bar because he was shitface-wasted and PISSING ON THE FLOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MENS BATHROOM BC HE DIDN’T WANT TO WAIT IN LINE. upon being escorted, he continued to shout the classic “do you know who i am!?” all the way out.

if that doesn’t make it official, i don’t know what does.

Yeah … no offense to anyone out there but if your calling someone a Douche because they wont follow you on Twitter, Facebook, or any other on-line popularity contest, your sad. Who really cares who he “follows” with his on-line profiles/names/whatever? Cut the cord from the internet and you might actually do something.

Plus, if anyone ran into your friends little brother at the mall, and I’m assuming you mean literally ran into him, most people would have the same response. Just because he supports fighting cancer doesn’t make him a saint.

Finally, I guarantee that if you could be in that picture with a pretty little blonde curled into your chest, you wouldn’t be complaining about it. Thats an age old basic reaction for the average guy to insult and get pissed off at someone that has a better girl than he does.

No one is perfect. (Really? Says who?) It doesn’t matter what they’ve done or who they are or where they’re going, no one is perfect. And if your trying to say that not being perfect makes someone a douche, well then sign me up.
Lance Armstrong has done a hell of a lot more with his life than pretty much anyone on here has. Myself included.

You can have a few new reasons:

Armstrong sues an animal advocacy group for using the color yellow on their charity bracelet. The Douche owns Yellow.

Armstrong breaks up with Crowe on the reason she wanted kids (although it was about the cancer she had being a downer), but then knocks up a woman months later.

He also does the “you’ll never work in this town again” to waiters and bar bouncers.

1: Do you really think he has the time to follow people on Twitter?

2: Your friend should have been watching where he’s going. How can you argue with that?

3: She is 21, he is 37. I doubt it’s anything serious anyways but, she’s an adult.

And, as for him being arrogant, he’s earned it. I think you’d be hard pressed to find such a stellar athlete who isn’t. Although they might try to hide it more, for the sake of selling shoes or whatever. At least he’s honest and HIGHLY charitable.

glad you hate him but he’s a celebrity and I know plenty of people, probably including yourself who have had a bad day and barked at someone, like your brother in the mall. And maybe he’s not the most happy-go-luckiest person on earth but he’s been through a hell of a lot more than most people…while he was in the public eye. I think you need to take a step back and stop being so arrogant. He’s given a lot of people faith, and if the hero of many, for his athletic ability.

If you write a comment simply attacking the author it won’t get posted, although maybe it will if it’s funny. But if you attempt to defend Lance and argue your point even weakly, it’ll get posted. Just add some value and you’re good.

Also readers, you don’t have to get super pissed. Lance isn’t worthless, he’s great in many ways, but he’s also a douche. Those things can coexist in one man. Sorry to inform you that he’s not perfect!

I hate having to agree with this, but Lance Armstrong on a bicycle is amazing. Lance Armstrong as an advocate for cancer research is amazing. Lance Armstrong the person leaves a lot of questions about how nice of a person he really is.

I myself prefer Greg Lemond as America’s cycling hero. Lemond has an amazing story to be told as well, and I rode with him a few years ago in Wisconsin. Great guy. His bad press comes from trying to clean up the sport and test fairly, which is sad.
