People forget what a great swimmer Armstrong was as a youth before he ever got involved in triathlon around age 15. That feel for the water and basic technique doesn't go away, which is why he was able to resume training and come out of the water here within seconds of the lead.

He was beating other Pro Triathletes at 16

It is easy to forget how talented and driven this guy is, even at 16 Lance was beating 25 and 30 year old pro triathletes. He was unlucky to be in an era of cycling where everyone doped, it overshadowed how good he really was because people think that he won only because he cheated. If everyone including lance were clean he still would have won and people that know pro cycling well all admit that Lance is still an all time great if not the greatest of all time.

[@Big_Island_Boi]

Uh... no. I know pro-cycling plenty well and I do not consider Armstrong either great in any way--aside from perhaps the greatest cock-sucking douchebag cheating pro cyclist in the history of the sport. He is a quintessential narcissist, a liar, a bully, a fraud, a thief. He's a legend alright... but the legend is about how NOT to act as a professional athlete... or as a human being. He didn't cheat to win just once... he did it over and over and over again--robbing the Tour de France of SEVEN years of winners. That scar will be on the sport forever.

[@howdyl6456]

I mostly agree, but I doubt he would still win without doping. The reason is his natural red blood cells level was low which made him a hyper responder to blood doping. Blood doping gave him a bigger advantage than the others

[@justneedalogin]

I used to be a die hard fan of Lance. Not anymore. I don't talk down on him as I don't have the right to do so. When he was doping, all the other top riders were on drugs so it was a level playing field in that respect. But the biggest difference is that Lance really did wage a brutal war on anyone who questioned his honesty. Many of those people were no saints either and were just looking for their 15 minutes of fame by trying to pull Lance down, I'll give you that. But still it was a very nasty business from him indeed, he pretty much tried everything to ruin those people's lives. I still regard him as an exceptionally talented and amazing athlete, nobody in their right minds would question that. I just lost my respect for him as a decent human being.

[@TheSteinbitt]

Richard Serban Good summary. I would add that when a lie has gotten as big as it did (almost considered a god amongst men, fighting cancer, livestrong etc) it becomes almost impossible to tell the whole truth, and you would do almost anything in order to maintain the lie. Cant say most men wouldn't have done the same, although it takes a "sociopathic" personality to get to that stage in the first place.

[@jackhammer111]

He fought back against people who are actively trying to destroy him like Walsh and like the absolutely despicable Greg lemond.

[@andrewc0128]

Carbon, I get what you are saying, but as TheSteninbitt wrote, he was a sociopath who tried to stop his lie from getting out, so he actively tried to bully those who were trying to tell the truth. I cant say who started their side first, Lance being a bully and trying to destroy lives or those who were telling their story, but the thing of it is, he was in the wrong, so he should have just admitted it and used "EVERYONE was doping" as an argument. I already knew that everyone was, so I would have supported him, and other people like me, if he would have simply said "Yeah, you got me. I doped like a MFer, and this is how I did it."

I'm sorry but as some one who enjoys sport, I believe in fair play by all those who compete, the idea that lance is a great guy because other people were cheating is insanity. Also of course some kid dying of dehydration is a bigger issue but it's also a very separate issue, who are you to tell me what to have opinions on?

Alright, haven't you all (commenters) beaten this to death already? Ok, Armstrong doped, but let's put some things into perspective: 1) You and I probably weren't professional cyclists in the early 2000s. We have no real bearing or gauge on the scale and pressure of doping in this time other than the testimony and confessions of the riders and teams which experienced it. 1b) There is good ground to assume most cyclists in this era were doping, the best example being 1998, the 'Tour du Dopage'. 2) He doped in cycling. Here we are now in triathlon, and I, despite never supporting Armstrong, am quite disappointed in the way some people are reacting. Unless or until there is some kind of proof that Armstrong is doping still, his tri results are completely valid and respectable. 3) A kind of double standard is being set in the Armstrong hate comments, in that nobody really had or has much argument about Ullrich, Vinokourov, Contador, E. Merckx, and many other famous cyclists who doped in their career.

[@jackaledful]

The difference between Armstrong those other guys was he used his position to intimidate and damaged people lives. I liked Armstrong, until I read about how he treated the people trying to tell the truth. You should read how he fucked over Greg LeMond, the only American to legitimately win the Tour de France. The man is a national disgrace, not as much over the doping, as to his unethical behavior and conduct toward others.

Sam Smith He's not a born competitor. You are not born as a winner or loser, it's your choice.

[@innismor11]

He won by bribing officials, coercing, suing anyone who spoke out against him, and cultivating the most organized doped team in pro sports history (USPS). He was and is a total a-hole.

[@JoaoPedro-nw5cl]

Innis Mor Like if the other lads weren't doping as well. Lance probably does more exercise in a year than what you'll do in your entire life, so let's just stay quiet and watch these awesome guys break a sweat. (I am a roadie myself, so don't come to me with the "I'm a senior athlete" speech)

[@mikerotchburns1622]

Joao Pedro its what he did to hide his doping that makes people truely hate lance

[@michaelhorner4011]

If he had come in 2nd place....would his first word have been....dope!

Anyone know where the music was taken from by any chance?

Armstrong is still a hero no matter what.

[@lamborghinico]

The EPO man

[@tataso]

[@JT_621]

Most top level pro athletes dope. He's till an incredible athlete though

+JUSTIN hey mate hes a junkie, a doper, a cheat...dont you get it?

[@SasquatchBobby]

+JUSTIN He's a Cheat. You obviously are Not an Athlete; Im guessing a Liberal? LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!

[@conphzhi]

+Neil R hey buddy, all cyclists dope so just Lance dopes, it makes no difference.

[@billbobaggins801]

@@neilr5335 you need to look in the mirror Mr. PERFECT! I am sure you have skeletons...........no matter we all sin. There are no levels of it.....if you have wronged then you have done the SAME as Lance. Least not be judged.....

[@rochellestanley9532]

So inspirational 👏

[@glennoc8585]

For LA it was all about him first team last and sure he cycled but was he truly into cycling like the other guys were as most of them would only do cycling. I think Lance was a triathlete and to be a great cyclist at the pro level he had to resort to drugs and boosting to win. Until he got cancer and lost weight he was not really up there in the top end. I believe that the loss of weight and the drugs gave him the edge in pro cycling.

[@danielbusse1716]

Lance fuckin rules

[@cheery-hex]

Is it really cheating when you are just trying to keep up with the rest of the cheating field. love seeing Lance doing triathlon!

[@BotChuck]

Your mind is fucked

[@Albin111]

Not everybody was in the Juice in that era. For all those who weren't on the juice is it wrong that a man that was taking roids was awarded the GC yellow jersey

[@PhillMcRevis]

Albin111 if you don't think everyone that was going for the GC was juicing I have some ocean front property in Arizona for you to buy.

[@BlatendCrude]

Is it really rape, when other people do it too?

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

theAbeElement If it's against the rules and 100 of 100 riders dope, they're all cheats. Rules are rules and they apply to everyone.

[@josephAngel1973]

Lance will always have my respect beastmode!

[@dannyr333]
