He won 2 Texas iron man triathlon competitions before starting professional cycling. No drugs involved. True athlete. I had a privilege to have dinner with him and some other athletes after he spoke for an hour at Nantucket project a few years back. He told all kinds of stories. They made him a scapegoat. But at the end of the day, he still raised 4 of his kids, created very big live strong foundation, beat cancer, list goes on. True champion frame no mater what. As a triathlete myself it is a very hard sport, you have to have superb discipline, motivation besides winning genetic lottery.

[@Konastang18]

@@ackbuilder8262 Genetic lottery. Love that one. But so true. Regardless of the “doping”, the training regimen of Armstrong and his team was like no other. He trained harder than anyone else on the Tour and it paid off. Not to mention the mind over matter aspect that one has to have to compete at that level. Just am amazing human being. You were truly blessed to have met him. I hope I can also meet him too one day as well. I think it is safe to say NO ONE will ever eclipse what he did. The French were just bent out of shape because an American bad ass took 7 tours….in a row!!

[@billyred889]

What people who say “they were all on drugs, lance was just better” don’t understand is it really was just the drugs which dictated who was the best. EPO made it possible for riders who were not climbers to become capable of winning tour mountain stages. Lance Armstrong was talented, no question, but he just had the best doping program out of all the other competition. Remember, before his cancer diagnosis he never finished within the top 30 for GC in the tour. This was a case where athletes aren’t winning due to grit or natural ability, but rather who had the best doctor.

[@andrewmckenzie3661]

This comment is correct. To say they were all cheating, so it was all even is far from fair. Armstrong took cheating to another level, he had informants inside the testing regime, warning him if his test levels were getting too high. He also bullied people and ruined lives, he lied continuously to everyone and is considered by most neutrals as a horrible person. I was a huge fan during his winning days, and watched all his races read his books etc. But I was fooled like everyone else. There is enough information about Armstrong now that we should all be able to see that he cheated badly and deserved to be stripped and banned.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

@@michaelstratton5223 Yes, he dominated Le Tour for 7 years straight (doper vs other dopers) and won the UCI Road World Championship at age 22 against the greats of the late 80s/early 90s, but was overrated. Primoz can barely finish Le Tour lately, but is otherwise a great cyclist. Similar performances to Lance? That would suggest he's not clean and nothing more. You don't achieve LA performance figures without dope. You can get about 90% of the way there in terms of average watts before sports science labs would refer to your performance as "a miracle." Let's see Primoz do 500watts for 30 minutes without doping. (He can't.) Yes, without knowing them personally, I'm willing to bet that the original commenter here isn't capable of doing 333 watts for 30 minutes. (2/3 of Lance's claimed 500w for 30 minutes) That's not exactly a far shot or bad gamble, considering the amount of people who can do such a thing is far smaller than the number that are just strictly incapable. The original commenter made it out as though everything special about the cyclists of the EPO era came from a syringe or bottle, and that's utter nonsense. What I said gives a bit of perspective on the natural talent of pro cyclists like Lance. Nothing more. TL;Dr: The average man fully dedicated to training is unlikely to ever achieve anywhere near the performance figures of a pro cyclist. Pros are built different regardless of PED use, and there's nothing comical about that claim if you actually understand the night and day difference between normal fellas and pro athletes.

[@michaelstratton5223]

@@desertrainfrog1691 "Similar performances to Lance? That would suggest he's not clean and nothing more." So you're basically admitting your biased in favor of Lance. If Lance performs like Lance does, then he's the Jesus incarnate. But if anyone else does it, it just means they're on drugs. "The average man fully dedicated to training is unlikely to ever achieve anywhere near the performance figures of a pro cyclist." I've never cared much for the biological luck theory. And even if it were true, I'd have more respect for an "average man fully dedicated to training" whose only noteworthy achievement is to get third in the Roubaix rather than some freeloader of DNA who wins the TDF 6 times. In fact if it were just some clash of the DNA titans like you say, I think cycling would be very boring. So I can't believe that for a minute.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

@@michaelstratton5223 @Michael Stratton Yes, because a pro on drugs is a pro on drugs and is better than a pro not on drugs. That's why those substances are banned. That and there is nothing natural about 500w/30 minutes, regardless of who does it. There is nothing natural about the performance figures reached by any of the top cyclists from the EPO era. Lance, Ullrich, Pantani..... They're equally as gifted as cyclists today, but they also had free reign to abuse PEDs. No I don't think Lance is incredibly special, but he was a great cyclist quite clearly. An average man fully dedicated to training would probably never get third in the Roubaix because the average person isn't capable of becoming a pro cyclist on any level. Just like how the average person isn't capable of joining the NBA or any other pro sport. It's a pro sport, you have to be something incredible to get in.

No one else trained like him, his whole life became winning Le Tour. You're also neglecting the change in bodyweight he experienced by the time he returned in 99'.
