"I also think that Lance doesn't get the credit for the incredible rise in popularity of cycling in the US during his reign." ? Well, he got tons of credit...and you know where he mostly got that credit? Everyone staying silent because they were selling so many trek bikes and other lance nike et al related crap...

He is a bully.

am I the only person who is a little bit creeped out that 21 divided by 3 is guess what?

might watch it, dunno. depends on how bored I am at the time it's available for viewing.

they make movies and docs about vile human beings all of the time. people that were responsible for seriously horrible acts...war crimes, serial killings, etc.

LA was a narcissistic jerkwad who cheated at a sport, not exactly in the same league as Hitler, Pol Pot, Dahmer, Bundy, and a host of other murderous, criminal types.

it would kinda suck if he profited from the film tho.

really don't have the energy to wage a life-long hate campaign on someone as insignificant as a bicycle racer.

I'll watch it. It's been interesting watching him try to determine where to go, what to do and how to act. The behavioral scientist in me suspects his childhood has had a significant influence on his adult behavior.

I've ridden with him several times and he's what he appears to be in the docs. It's sad to see a person who "lashes out" and struggles with how to interact with others.

If you're rich and bored...millions of better ways to spend your time. He wants the fame/fawning. If you want a hoot, check out his IG page. The comments are brutal yet funny. -7 is trying, but failing

I'm 7 years younger than he was when he was banned from cycling, and if someone told me now I had to completely change careers, I would struggle. I'm sure many people think that's only fair punishment for what he's done, but it seems unreasonable to expect him to impose additional arbitrary punishments on himself just because many think he hasn't been punished enough.

If you could make a million dollars doing a three week podcast during the Tour de France, would you say no?

Lance wasn't good for the entire cycling industry. Just ask Gary Klein or Greg LeMond.

And unless they walked into a room filled with old cyclists, no one would even know who they are.

Well they know who they are and what was done to them. And the reason why they are less known now is because they were pushed out.

Up or down on the list there is a current thread about a new LeMond bike company. Even here, where people tend to like him, the overwhelming sentiment about it is "Meh".

Lance is who he is because he is the person that he is. He succeeded at the Tour, in marketing and in business. Knock him down and he rises back. Klein and LeMond have a history of not being good businessmen.

Did Lance cheat? Yep. Do most people care? Nope.

Lance last raced nearly a decade ago. Ain't like his pool of fans is getting any larger either from seeing him race.
