Are you guys aware of the latest stuff that’s going on? Yes, Tyler Hamilton ran into Lance Armstrong the other day at a Colorado restaurant that Armstrong frequents. And of course what does this prompt? The FBI to turn up the heat on Lance Armstrong. But before even diving into that, let’s analyze what really happened here. Hamilton claims that Armstrong got really testy with him. Second of all, the owner apparently told Hamilton never to come back as he’s a good friend of Armstrong’s.
First, Hamilton rips on Armstrong on 60 minutes. And when I say rips I mean this is certainly more of a big deal then getting into a spat my friends. Then he happens to be in the exact same city and restaurant as the guy and it’s surprising that they get into a confrontation?
It gets more detailed however.
The two cyclists crossed paths at an Aspen, Colo., restaurant Saturday night, said Hamilton attorney Chris Manderson. He said Hamilton told him Armstrong repeatedly asked how much he had been paid to do the television interview, and added that his legal team would “(expletive) destroy you,” “tear you apart on the witness stand,” and “make your life a living (expletive) hell.”
So now the FBI is analyzing whether or not this is witness tampering. OK look, I don’t consider myself someone who is that well versed in cycling. I’m not going to get into it with deep evidence and analysis. I just don’t have the time. What I would like to ask America and our readers is this: does anyone give a shit about cycling??????
As far as I’m concerned Armstrong is a cheater. I don’t think it’s even close. But let’s face it, the dude has done more for Cancer in the last decade than most people have. Steroids or not he was inspirational. Sure he’s not a great dude because he broke the rules but Jesus Christ people, it’s cycling!!!! I’ve never watched a day of cycling in my entire life and frankly wouldn’t give a rats ass if these guys were snorting coke at the finish line. Does it really make a difference?
And seriously, this Tyler Hamilton guy. What a loser. Congratulations buddy. You did a great job of tattle tailing. Oh and you’re also a second rate rider who sucked and couldn’t cut it. Sorry bro. We’re so sorry and we’re so glad you owned up to all of this.
It’s cycling! Man can’t we talk about better things like Lebron James and his steroid use? Haha. See what I did there? Bill Maher said it best on Real Time last Friday with “who ever even gave a shit about the Tour De France anyway?”

that’s because you have no idea what this sport is. but to enlighten you: one of the most demanding sports in terms of preparation, performance, endurance. as a result of your ignorance, you can’t understand what these elite cyclists represent.

Oh I get how grueling it is, and how much training is involved. I for one could never do it. I just don’t think it’ll ever have any favor with American sports fans. Believe me I get you. Calling me ignorant is plain stupid. I write opinions. If you want to have an intellectual conversation about the elite sport I’m more than happy to. It will never change the fact that it’s boring as hell to watch.
