Or this guy is just a whiney little bitch trying to make a buck by pedaling his book!

I'm in the middle of reading Tyler Hamilton's book, and it turns out that not nearly as many actually used EPO in 1999 as Asteriskstrong would have you believe. In 2005, they checked samples for EPO. Asteriskstrong either tested positive or showed examples of microdosing nearly every day of the first 14 days, and none for the last week when his drug connection left the Tour as reported by Hamilton once the lead was insurmountable. Of the riders outside the Postal Service team, less than 8% tested positive, so even then, he cheated more than anyone else, but the psychopath convinced himself that everyone else was just as dirty and just as psychopathic as he was.

@@wvu05 What you described is known as justification. If you read about the behaviors of psychopaths, serial murderers and other evil people, they often reason and rationalize their actions by finding justification for it.

@@rollinrat4850 Indeed. In this case, he convinced himself that everyone was as crooked as he was.

The POS destroyed lives to perpetuate his lies. May Satan have him.

@@wvu05 You nail it.

Something always rubbed me the wrong way about him. The most delicious part of his comeuppance was, after the lifetime ban, he decided to enter a master's swim meet. That is, until USADA said "What part of 'lifetime ban from all sports sanctioned by us' do you not understand?"

The European media definitely knew that Armstrong was a dickhead from day 1 but Armstrong had powerful friends and deep connections in the U.S. sports media. So naturally you had organizations like ESPN and OLN (which was just a fucking fishing channel until they got Tour de France rights) routinely kissing his ass and making him look like a martyr and this "badass American" against those "snooty Europeans" i was a young kid at the time so i bought into all of that horseshit. So embarrassing to look back on it 20+ years later

Yeah right!

Glad that I searched the comments. So true. That thing you do!

Of all the awesome humans who have lived, doped up bicycle riders are the least impressive.

Floyd didn‘t win the Tour 2006!

@@b00man18 No you did.

You say he is humble, but think about it. If Landis says he was in TDF, he would then have to explain his doping and how he got rejected from radio shack and then called out Armstrong like a little girl for doing the same thing😂😂

@@user-op2tr4qn9t Excellent retort, Lance!

"Landis was at least a nice drug cheat" So that's ok then? Does not matter if the dude was a 'nice cheat' or a 'nasty cheat'. A cheat is a cheat: Landis is on a similar level to Armstrong.

A nice cheat , I like that.

Yeah, I'd take a guy who was a bit of a jerk and raised $500 million for charity over a whiney ex pro cyclist.

+Samuel rogers …….and you know that 'ALL the Tour riders are Drug Cheats' how? Are you an ex-Tour rider, team doctor or directeur sportif? Idiot.

samuel rogers I guess a persons personality doesn't matter to you?

Phil Anderson Take your sunglasses off you look as stupid as your comment!!! Liberalism is truly a mental disorder and you proved it again!!!

Phil Anderson You're right !

Phil I agree- Floyd is not the best at doing interviews but he does seem very straight forward and not full of shit. Even if he got to a point where he was looking after number one by coming clean ( as Brett Connor says below I just noticed) he's always seemed Blunt and honest so I have to admire him for that if nothing else.

All the comments trashing Landis are clearly made by butthurt Lance fans. 8D

Calamari Chris funnily enough I was going to say earlier that I've always had the feeling it's mostly Lance Lovers that trash Landis. Landis is no saint of course, but I never understood why anyone would love Armstrong so much- I always knew he was on the gear it SHOULD have been obvious to anyone who races at even a low amateur level. Even purely from a cycling entertainment point of view- as brilliant as Armstrong was (within the context of drug assisted performance) why did people enjoy watching a robotic domination of the race for all those years? as Boring as watching Sampras dominate Wimbledon and Schumacher Formula one. Ullrich, for example, was at least much more human, fallible and likeable.

I think Floyd was raised as Mennonite he has a religious upbringing with a loving extent family. Lance Amstrong’s father left him and he learned from his mother to hate him. One was taught love the other one to hate.

Landis literally cheated hard, got rejected by Radio Shack and then became a whistleblower because he couldn’t handle the rejection. Literally couldn’t be more of a pathetic sore loser.

He wrote an entire book professing his innocence. Lol.

Who is better?

How about 500,000,000 for cancer,what good did you do for others?

It's true. Nobody who knows him as ever said anything nice about him. Actually the opposite is true. He must be a total douche bag. He seems to have no long term friends.

@@darinvint4495 yes

I read his 1st book and saw through his arrogance. I couldn't really put my finger on it, but reading 'between the lines' , I sensed something was wrong with the Lancehole's character. The guy was just too cocky. I never believed the cancer could change his physiology as he claimed. That was absurd! At the time I was proud an American was winning but there was this perfect Cinderella story and that nagging doubt from the book. Win after win, all the doping news and I just got more and more doubtful. This race is just too hard. It's been said TDF can take years away from your life, such is the toll it takes.

Nope. You’d be right if cycling was a clean sport.

@@justtestingonce Sure, but he pushed it too far.

He has tens of millions in the bank and has never had to have a real job. Rode a bike fir a living. Traveled the world in great luxury. If that’s being brought to your knees then sign me up.

@@JK-vc7ie You certainly haven’t worked with high profile clients/people. Power and Prestige are just as important (if not more) than money to them. Why do you think he kept going until he got caught? Even after having millions in the bank? The same goes for CEO’s, and other athletes. It’s not just about the money for them.

The way Landis describes Armstrong, In a long life i've witnessed a few such people like this & my interpretation of each was 'what a horrible horrible self centred & damaged individual' The wrotten truth came out about Armstrong & it's evident the people that have since bothered with him at all, are those that are of a similar guilty ilk.

Right Babe.....

RIP Ricardo Pianoman, 1971 -2017.

Mr. Piana did Ben & Jerry's. That's madness. Not even pro cyclists touched that.

good fuckin morning!

Whatever it takes sure, but I haven't found anyone saying the Rich was a bully or a jerk. It's very much the opposite with Lance. you can be at the top of your field, but if people don't have good things to say about you it is really worth it.

You are completely wrong. He wanted to be on Lances team so Lance could show him what it takes to be an International racer.And Lance did, Floyd signed on the Phonak team as the leader making big bucks. Then when he didnt get what he wanted he cried and turned into a whistleblower. Floyd is mad that hes not Lance.

@@litedawg Only LA or Landis would be able to say this because no one else was privy to any of that information. And we know you're not Landis, so.......hello, Lance. Nice to see you're as narcissistic as ever!

Sorry, Floyd was as much a doper as Lance, however, when Floyd was busted, after he won the Tour de France, Floyd wrote a book, “Positively False,” which proved Floyd to be on par with Lance, in lying.

@@pjgarcia2417Lol Landis only came out after getting rejected from Radio shack. He is a fat sellout😂😂

How about when he said he didn’t do any doping, did you believe him then? The man is a sellout who only went after Armstrong because he is a loser and got rejected.

So true. Frustrating hearing all the people saying he won fair cause everyone was doping. Lots of very talented athletes turned away from the sport because of the doping, some continued but without success.

@@213tpg Okay name me 10 cyclists who had true potential to win Tour de France and never doped during the career...And don't bloody say random names...Name cyclists who won other major races and yet never doped during their career and failed to win tour de france....So i m now waiting for ur list....And for your last arguement nobody joined cycling thinking they will dope through it to success...All of them were talented and sincere but since it was so prevalent and system so rotten that a real contender knew he couldn't just win on hardwork and skill....Those u say never doped knew deep down that even with doping that they won't win therefore why take the bloody risk.....The whole cycling world was a bloody pigshit stink and if u can't accept that fact then either u r in denial or u r an ignorant moron.

Did Floyd autograph a copy of “Positively False,” for you?

Nice !

He's a puss that is jealous. He did the same exact thing as Lance yet wants to crucify Armstrong for it. Hypocrite.

@@BradMason2014 Exactly. ”Lance enjoyed making other people lose, I enjoyed winning” Floyd ”the royalty of butthurt” Landis.

A cheater roasting another cheater,both🤡🤡

Tell me about it, British cyclists think they can do whatever they want and don't realise that on a mixed use public footpath NO ONE has right of way and that cyclists should sound their bell and slow down when approaching a pedestrian. The worst bunch are the tour de France wannabe's who have racing bikes and wear that ridiculous full lycra. Those people have serious anger management issues. Though the funniest thing I've seen where I walk were these two cyclists in full lycra, riding racing bikes that cost around £5000 each and they didn't have the fitness to ride up a tiny little hill (more of a bump) that had around 15m of elevation change. They actually had to unclip their feet and push their bikes up the hill (bump). It wasn't as if they'd been riding for miles and were exhausted either as neither of them had broken a sweat. I've seen them twice now (months apart) and they still push their expensive road bikes up the tiny little bump haha.

This is really sad. I'm a rider and always either slow down big time or say, "Thank you" repeatedly. Bikes are fast and I don't want to ruin their walk! I'm in the US though and it's usually on the streets where you have to fight back or die. lol

To "worship" any human being is pathetic. You literally worship someone that peddles far? Gay

I'm not sure if you also watched any docs on Tiger Woods, or Michael Jordan....but sometimes it takes a strong personality to push yourself harder than anyone else is prepared to push themselves. Landis makes it seem a little like LA didn't have to work hard to be at the top....that it all came easily for him. It isn't the case - he was just driven to put in more effort and preparation than everyone else. I bet he still cashed all the checks that he got working for Lance's team.

@@chadclemen You're so funny, Lance!

@@berndtherrenvolk1951 GFYS 👍

I feel less sympathetic towards Landis after this interview lmao. He doesn't come across as genuine to me, rather trying to save is own ass at the expense of someone else. He tried to become the next Lance and when that didn't work out, he started talking. He isn't genuine, he's hypocritical. Even after he was caught and served his time, he tried to join Lance's team when he made a comeback in 2009. Lance denied the request and then he came out with his story. When he got caught, he didn't realize what he was doing was bad and he should come clean. No, after a 2 year ban he ASKED LANCE if he could join his team. Don't you see how hypocritical that is? He literallt wanted to ride alongside Lance AGAIN.

You were tested positive. You just made bloody sure it never got out.

kappa

...and you were never honest with the public. Not until you were caught anyway.

Lance for most of us it never was about the drugs. It was how you treated others. You never did admit that Betsy told the truth about the hospital room interview.

Lance Armstrong we're at the point where it's time to heal. That may be the most difficult journey we take.

Tbf doping was going on long before Lance started racing and Floyd got caught big time the year after

@@jon4539 I’m well aware of that but that doesn’t change the fact that many other riders from his own team and competing teams all seemed to really dislike lance for reasons other than just his doping.

@@mauryeetss3561 yes this maybe true but he was a American in a french race and us postal would have never been liked , I watch Lance and hincapie in the move podcast and he comes across as a funny guy but everyone has different views on him

Lance himself would agree with Floyd now. He's come around to admit that he was an asshole and says he regrets hurting people. I think the bully inside of him will never truly leave, but at least he's aware these days he was wrong.

There is no team in that sport. Everyone of them was cheating their ass off to win in one of the dirtiest sports ever.

Lance fed them all dope eventually. Drug pusher.

Maybe I need to read more about what Landis did to try and keep the secret, because I don't know much about that. But anyway, it's good that he eventually told the truth and brought the whole house of cards down, even if it was only for his personal retribution.

What greatness as a rider. 0 Tour de France titles, 0 Olympic Golds, 0 other major Tour titles. He achieved nothing in teh sport that he hasnt been stripped of.

lance story with cancer and coming back to cycling,got lance some sponsors these sponsors sponsored tour de france cause that's why the 1st prize was 1 million $ obviously lance got uci and tdf organizateurs in his pocket cause he bringed sponsors and people attention with his story comeback during his winning years in tdf he got positive tests which were disclosed years later also lance only competiting in tdf,ignoring complety other big races,why??? cause he didn't got in other races people in his pocket like race organizateurs,people who would take his pee sample in tdf top GC riders were caught and banned but only armstrong not,biggest armstrong opponent was jan ulrich which dopped couldn't beat armstrong and ulrich got caught twice i remember on internet during 2005-2007 was a picture where top20 GC tdf 2000 or 2001 majority of them got caught or their names were linked to a dopping scandal i started watching cycling in 1999,just coincidence,cause in summer break eurosport romania was showing tdf full stages from 12 or 1 pm to 6 pm and replaying again in the morning by year 2003 it was obvious for me that majority were doping and armstrong is a bigger fraud than ulrich romanian comentators were always talking about doping scandals,they were talking very freely about shady things happening in cycling they speak about us postal being too strong,george hincapie was no climber specialist but hincapie would relay on flat the whole stage and if at the end was a climb,still hincapie would relay dropping pure climbers obviously after some years both got removed and replaced with a guy that is npc/puppet that tells the 2nd commentator not to go deep into doping disccusions

@Gavan Hogan Yeah like Pereiro probably was not doping too.

So you’re saying given the opportunity Landis would have won 7 Tour de france’s at the very least ?

@@aussiemma8426 Most cyclists who are top 50 in the world at a given point in time could win atleast 7 Tour de France titles with all the advantages Lance had. The most sophisticated doping, doctors, handlers, protectors, an entire team built around and working just for you during the Tour de France races, and so on. It would be like candy from a baby for any decent international cyclist.

Ralph Bourgeois I don’t think your analogy of stealing candy from a baby fits for such a difficult race as the Tour de France. Yes Armstrong had many advantages but there is always a head of any cycling group in the tour and each one is always protected by the others in their respective teams. I had issue with the original comment saying Landis could have won 7 tour de france’s at least which is just not true at all, sure Armstrong had the best of everything but he also had a fierce competitiveness that was unmatched which was a massive part of the reason he won so many tours.

@@aussiemma8426 We did not see what Landis would have done had he not gotten busted his first year as team leader on a team working backwards for him and starting to supply him with the best dope, ala Lance. He of course won his first year with those advantages, with many more to come. Who knows if he wins 7, nobody thought Lance would win 7. I hate Landis all well so really don't give half a shit, but nothing would surprise me. What I would bet is Greg LeMond (a far more talented and equally hard working and determined cyclist to Lance) probably wins atleast 10 with all the advantages Lance had, and if he doped. Many others. Anyone who tries to still argue Lance is the GOAT (fuck he never was even before he was caught, he is a 1 race wonder with the strongest team ever, in a weak era with no all time greats) is crazy and delusional, even more than those who say Landis or Hamilton or some other rogue person could win 7 with all Lance's advantages.

I agree he put cycling on the map. I like to say that I don't care if he was high as a kite, for seven summers he gave us all a natural high. His duals in the mountains were epic. The peds gave those events an edge they don't have now. I don't take drugs but watching Lance and the others made me feel as if I were on something. So exciting! Such a spectacle! Jordan was an a hole I've heard but you couldn't take your eyes off him. Same with Tiger. Lance was PT Barnum and David Copperfield all at once. I know I got my money's worth. But it isn't too late for him to make amends to those he may have hurt. He should get some advice from Paul Finebaum. I've heard paul used to be a dick now he's a really liked and great guy!

Greg LeMond put US cycling on the map and it's not true that all teams had a program and/or most riders were in on it. Plenty of riders have testified otherwise. What gives you the right to make such a blanket statement about pro cyclists?
