I don't think anyone ever doubted Carmichael could. It's just that he moved on. But who knows... seemed in his interviews from Red Bud that he was kinda getting the itch again.

Lance is an attention whore. Just like Favre, just like Barry Bonds, just like Sammy Sosa... The list goes on. Maybe that even includes MC (uh oh).

RC doesn't have that problem. He's cool with who he is and what his life is. He doesn't the spotlight to be happy.

Let him go. See him at the truck races.

How are Bonds and Sosa attention whores? The only time you hear from them now is when they are brought up in regards to legal issues...

Lance? I think if he just wanted the attention he wouldn't be almost leading the Tour...

How is MC an attention whore?

Throw some more stuff out there...

RC stopped at his peak and is fine with it.

Lance stopped at his peak and fell in a black hole after his celebrity shananigans.

ow, he's not doing to shabby though, he's 3rd in standings right now (first mountain stage is over). he's 8 seconds behind en 2 seconds behind his biggest competitor Contador.

It's my opinion that Lance Armstrong is a handjob attention whore too. No specific reason, he's just one of those guys you can't quite peg. I bet his wake of celebrity girlfriends, the mother of his three kids and his new baby's mother know the reason though.

dont be jealous because you get tired riding your bike down the street... WTF the guys bad ass. probably the greatest cyclist ever.

chad your the attention whore kinda like paris hilton. At least all those guys are great at what they do.
7/10/2009 11:26am
he will never be the greatest cyclist ever, he even admits that no one even comes close to Eddy Merckx

merckx won the tour 5 times, and the giro and vuelta like 3 times each.

Merckx won every one day cycle race(at least once) except Paris-Tours

RC was past his prime when James started even but was still better than the rest, he gave the young guys thier chances and they failed. RC proved that pure determination and dedication = pure domination.

Yes, Lance is an attention whore. He's bringing attention to the Livestrong Foundation and the fight against cancer. He even signed with Team Astana for free. And if your in a race, you might as well try to win or at least help a team mate win. It all sounds good to me.

You're slackin... the personal attacks should have started over an hour ago.

They can't handle being out of the spotlight. That's why Lance is racing. His fire went out, when he was on top and was dealing with doping drama.

They all obviously love what they do, but it was determination to be the best that got them to the top. Once they were there they had no reason to continue. Now their only reason is money and attention. Ask Michael Jordan, he's beyond all of these guys and he still can't give it up.

Bonds and Sosa would ride the bench 162 games a year as long as they get to talk to the media. They can't play anymore, they aren'[t respected at all and that means they can just stir shit now, which is what both try to do every 3 months.

X100000000........ he could still dominate outdoors mx...... and if got a decent TORC ride, he'd be dialed on 2 and 4 wheels...... hell, he might be able to step into TORC and the Lucas Oil series and elevate them to near NASCRAP status..... there are a lot more shitkickers driving beat down pick-up trucks than new Lumina's....

Carmichael said himself he didn't want the risk of injury anymore, having a family now and all.

Same reasons as crowe. I have a hard time respecting a guy who leaves his wife who was there for him, once he reaches celebrity status.

We don't know why he left his wife. why does everyone assume that when a man leaves a woman, he is being a shitty person?

Um Yeah Lance is a shitty human being.

Proof 1 ) A friend of mine raced the World Championships with him a few years back ( this friend is now on Astana as well ) they were getting in the team cars to go to the start and it was pissing down with rain so all the riders are jumping in to the cars to go to the start. My buddy goes to jump in the front and Armstrong says:

"My chicks sitting there go get in another car"

My buddy replies " Dude I'm gonna be slogging my guts out for YOU today for 6 hours so I'm sitting here"

Armstrong replies " I don't give a fuck, my chicks sitting there now fuck off."


Proof 2 ) Back in the USPS days another good friend of mine was looking for a new contract and Armstrong tells him " Don't worry I'll get you in at USPS" . Of course he doesn't then my buddy is scrambling to get a contract and later when he askes Armstrong about it Armstrong says " Hey not my problem buddy".

Proof 3) At a training camp a few years back a friend worked for one of the USPS sponsors and they all got to go on a training ride with the team. Toward the end they started motopacing behind a team car and as the pace picked up guys started dropping off the back until it was just Armstrong and my buddy. Armstrong kept telling the driver to pick it up thinking he'd drop my buddy but couldn't eventually they eased up and Armstrong said " Who the fuck do you think you are trying to ride with me ??? " and laid in to my buddy like a bitch.



Would you like some more ???


How 'bout the drug days on Motorola ? or perhaps some stories from an old massuese ? How about the one where his ex-wife and a teammates wife get in to a bitch fight so Armstrong has the guy kicked off the team??

Top 10 reasons to Hate Lance Armstrong from Askmen.com:

No.10 - He left his wife for Sheryl Crow

Lance Armstrong just wanted to soak up the sun, so in 2003 he divorced his wife Kristin and soon after dated singer Sheryl Crow. The first cut proved to be the deepest for Kristin, the wife who stood beside Lance throughout his rigorous battle with cancer and raised his kids while he was off biking around France.

The move had the “I’m famous now, I can do better” feel to it, which requires a certain type of class. Simply put: Lance abandoned the person who never abandoned him.

Crow got her own taste as Lance again felt some change would do him good when he broke it off with Crow just three months into their engagement.


You can read the rest..

Number 7 is pretty comical.

Dude's a hand job that can ride a bike really well.

That attention whore helped me out…I just beat cancer. My doctor was the same doctor that treated Lance, he sits on the board of Livestrong, and without him I don’t know where I’d be right now. Without LIVESTRONG a lot of people wouldn’t be as well off as they have been going through cancer. I went through 7 months of chemo, and over a year of recovery...it's been hell!!

I’ll take that attention whore any day of the week over what any of you spiteful people on this message board have ever done with your lives!

I don't know Lance so I have nothing good or bad to say about him as a person. He is a heck of cyclist though. I am the same age and can't average half his speed or mileage.

I like watching him race this years TdF b/c it is bringing in a lot of interest and exposure which means there is more for me to watch and read about cycling (cycling is my 4th favorite thing behind sex, eating and dirtbikes).

BUT... I am a big fan of Livestrong and have a lot of Livestrong shirts and gear.

Once Lance is dead and gone I believe Livestrong will still be there and doing good for the cause of Cancer Research just as the V Foundation is still doing good long after Valvano's death.

My father died of Cancer in 2005 and I was there to help him with his treatment and the final week of his life so I have a personal grudge against the disease.
