Science of Cycling - Lance Armstrong 2005 (1 of 5) [HQ]

[@FilmesLuisAndrade]

The best cycling rider of all time

[@imissmynut]

While doping.

[@JoaoPedro-nw5cl]

***** Many of the other riders were doping really hard too; they just didn't confess it. If you follow Lance on Strava, you know that up until today the man still exercises like a beast. Yes, he doped; but he is one hell of a rider, and that you can't deny.

[@mazpr2025]

imissmynut ::: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_doping_cases_in_cycling

[@mazpr2025]

Joao Pedro ::: Others tested positive, they did not need to confess. He sure is a beast, looking back to a triathlon he did when he was like 15 yrs old against pro riders, its simply incredible.

[@jamesmusk508]

Not in the first 40 odd before he became a kunkie and helped give the sport a bad name the no good piece of SHITE😱😱😱

[@Aranimda]

Even with the doping scandal, I still have great respect of his achievements and I still consider him among the best. Big parts of the cyclers cheated some way and I'm still wondering who would have won when everyone played fair. But even with dope, you don't just win seven tours in a row.

[@x-raymind7778]

Yup one big thing is by all accounts all the GC riders of that time were on the same stuff as lance so although it’s technically not legal I think it was fair game.

[@Areyouduckingserious]

I laughed when he said inject every ounce of his being. I like Lance but that was just funny.

[@nickbayer7847]

If he only knew 🤔🤔

[@PenaltyKillah]

"The science and technology behind Lance's seven tour wins"? We don't need an hour-long documentary for that nowadays :)

[@surfinDelMar]

What a simpleton explanation. Get a grip.

[@x-raymind7778]

Ya ya big simpleton dosser

[@bkermike]

Livestrong is a great service started by him. :)

[@bertrandronge9019]

1:40 "There is Lance that athelete that posses the raw determination to inject every..." weel we know he injected a lot of things lmao

[@Libbyyyyyyyyyy]

oh dear...

[@Carlosoito]

He was using a motor in his bike. Just a cheater.

[@06cdancer]

say what you want about doping, and no i 100% dont agree with it, but he is an amazing athlete.

[@1JoseReynoldinho]

Forgot the most crucial and powerful element of science in cycling in the 90s - EPO

[@928nanotech]

Livestrong with Chemistry!

[@ponyheist]

Just for clarification, not all the riders were doping.

[@davidluk8]

The movie title should be "Science of Doping and Cheating - Lance Armstrong"

[@phonziee]

where can i get that body suit?????

[@Bhousm76]

hell yes! go Lance!

[@cogmeisteer]

"what is it exactly that makes Lance a champion?" Well we all know the answer to that question now. EPO, HGH, blood transfusions, testosterone etc...

[@Carlosoito]

He was using a motor in his bike. Just a cheater.

[@DownLowProductions]

After 6 long years i can finally say " I told you so" Cheers To Lemond for fighting this disgrace of a human being.

[@aperta_o_pray6076]

DOPE ,DOPE ,DOPE

[@rudyrada3628]

Did they cut the EPO part???

[@news4usunshine]

You have no idea what you're talking about. In the mid 1990's, Armstrong was widely considered the greatest American cyclist, and many were predicting his future success as a professional. Lance doped, and dominated competitors who were also doping. The difference was his superior physiology and mental strength. Had everyone ridden clean, he would have dominated just the same.

[@miavonni]

I can imagine what the prolonged effects from these drugs can cause.

[@Triple777ER]

6:50 why so serious?

[@nelson4568]

haha i can't agree more the other problem is trying to get back on that old bike the gearing makes it almost impossible where i live with so many hills

[@Manik2Magik]

I was just thinking of a writing a post whining about the horribly written intro when at 1:44 they decided to throw in the word 'inject'. W O W

[@Ste7enZhang]

wondering what happened to that bug

[@samereed]

1:30 "What is it exactly that makes Lance a champion? A better body? A better bike? Well... there's Lance the athlete who possesses the grit and raw determination to go out and inject every ounce of his being". Even then they knew...

[@surfinDelMar]

He's a genetic mutant for one. Came back from cancer 15 lbs lighter with the same power output. One of the highest VO2 max tests in history, psychotic in terms of discipline, training and preparation. Was a huge early adopter of technology in his training, in particular, power meters. Some athletes are just that much better or gifted from God than the other studs in their sport. LA was one of those guys. www.topendsports.com/testing/records/vo2max.htm

[@TBONUS88]

im in the exact same boat, no pun intended. i rowed in college and now race on the road. although cycling does bring prolonged pain, nothing will compare to the mental strain that a 2k test or race can bring. rowing has got to be the most mentally taxing sport to be competitive at - very little excitement

[@thearakjensensamrith7244]

Our roided up guy beat your roided up guy. Put some respect on his name.

[@40datboysha]

He was the strongest athlete within the peloton.....ON DOPE!

[@mccalljeff]

Everyone was AND STILL IS on dope, dumbfuck.

[@lark19lark]

My legend

[@itsleo9096]

what state and roads is he on in the last part of thsi vid? what a ride!!

[@ejp93]

fair enough

[@Enigma71559]

Especially when everyone else is doing it! That's why it's just assumed that Lance HAD to be doping. Because guys like Ullrich were and they couldn't beat him. I know most people have their minds made up that he was dirty but he is still a once in a lifetime athlete. He was riding right alongside Mark Allen in triathlons when he was 15!! I guess he had to be doping then too. And for those that don't know, Allen was the world's best triathlete at that time.

[@powerkitemad]

"Science" is that what they call it these days :) I'm off to smoke some "science"

[@gwdz1]

i bet when he's riding his bike , hes like I NEED MY CRAK , then he starts scrathing himself

[@PeLuK2303]

He is amazing!

[@TimeBandit415]

that fixed gear> what frame is it? is it in production?

[@howeydesign]

Yes, "just look at the test results..."

[@Tracywithafacey]

2001 tour of switzerland, 1999 too, not sure which race. If you think passing tests between 1999 and 2005 shows your clean, well it doesnt really. in those days the science of drugs was way ahead of the game of testing

[@alexh2456]

DOPER

[@surfinDelMar]

Sure. I mean no one was doping other than...www.businessinsider.com/lance-armstrong-doping-tour-de-france-2015-1

[@verzlverns9171]

lance is the best cyclist. Whatever you say he is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rhymeister]

Science of SUPPLEMENTING. Grazie, Dr. Ferrari!

[@shotangone]

Every moment I'm thinking, "because drugs".

[@nelson4568]

true don't get me wrong lance is a beast and a half and over all one of the best but from owning both a light weight carbon road bike and a 1982 masi with a 10speed campy groupo, the same merckx road on....i can't imagine the pain they were in back then riding such heavy bikes

[@40datboysha]

Look at Johan Bruynell playing the game. "What we need is more money to bribe UCI for positive tests and EPO. It's Not About The Bike"!

[@nelson4568]

you put lance on a 24 pound 10 speed steel bike back in the day against Merckx at his prime, and i don't think lance would be the greatest anymore

[@40datboysha]

Yes he injected Lance like a pin cushion.

[@Bhousm76]

@flugtager hahaha, damn man...that was awesome.

[@Chemicalpneumonia]

well, to be honest, the viewers want to see extraordinary climbs, attacks etc.. so the public basically set the foundation for doping.

[@Milkywayboy]

Epo only ads 10-12% Every rider (top rider) was doing it 90+% were doing it Lance being that much better was hard work Training Cadence Preparation

[@elliottallinson]

Pain's valedictorian. Classic.

[@andresa1963]

LOL... that's a good one man!!! :)

[@ejp93]

I used to believe he didn't cheat because there was no eveidence. But if you actually look now, the evidence that he did cheat is overwhelming.

[@POI_D]

Легенда велоспорта!!!

[@40datboysha]

I heard he was also accused of doping during his comeback to cycling. Wow that man had an awesome plan. Dope like crazy, get everybody on the same program or tell them to leave the team, get the UCI on your payrole, and use LIVESTRONG as a public cancer shield to hide what was really going all. He lost it all for the fame and has fallen from icon status. He's just gonna be some regular ol' dude now.

[@antoineparker1147]

there is much more behind seen than that all the 'stuff' he took to go faster also.

[@IcemanExplorerNinja]

5:21 when did iTunes become part of wind tunnel testing? haha :)

[@rhymeister]

LeMond should be able to sue for losing his bicycle company after Trek dropped him on pressure from LA!

[@news4usunshine]

You don't want to know...

[@40datboysha]

He trained hard and doped even harder. I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, but now I see him as a drug ringleader and dope Pro.

[@GTbjj808]

the guy at 7:34 is that a dummy or a real person? cause he is really good at not moving

[@viktorcvetkovski6574]

1:30 ?

[@csky4672]

9:29 even the one gram bug has a rule here.

[@peterecos634]

what does that bug and Floyd have in common? they both took Lance down

[@gwdz1]

hahaha i herd people sayin sumthin like that on the radio..

[@bassjunkMonstro]

you definly forgot the epo and blood tansfusions hahahaha

[@mekore]

morover, i'm suspicious that ferrari dope him more than other clients..

[@MovieMad007]

Well its also about psychological belief that you can overcome problems.

[@cyrix01]

Hey dude, your 7 food elements are: SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM and more.. SPAM

[@IanTheDutchman]

But they give a clear advantage...

[@rudiratte1]

so what are you saying? let the best guys cheat because they would win anyway??

[@MrHugoloobs]

1:30 what about drugs ?

[@errbud]

the secret? massive amounts of epo ...

[@Ethan-vx8mi]

I wish i could beat my cancer and win trophies

[@Ethan-vx8mi]

Or ride a bike

[@xmateinc]

@musicNsoccer haters gonna hate!

[@LolEYEHasFun]

Cmon he thought that bug weighed a gram/ounce HE DIDN'T DO ANY DRUG WHAT SO EVER.

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

"The Science of Doping and still needing a 6.8 kg bike" lmfao better title.

[@StasiBurzycki]

lol, 1 gram, one ounce bug can kill you. That bug was soo much smaller than a gram and an ounce.

[@veshtitsacraftsandtunes4693]

should be part 1 of 6

[@posification1]

A triple "HURRAH" for one of the greatest sportsmen ever. Enjoy your pension Lance! I qualify you in my special category "POSIFICATION".

[@flugtager]

@u368 It seems your life is centered on discrediting Lance Armstrong. I hope I will not immerse myself in the personal hell of obsession and conspiracy theories that constitues your life by commenting on this. My sneaking suspicion is that you would be devastated if Lance truly did test positive (not some backroom photocopied forms from Le'Equipe) for your life would lose its purpose. I blow my nose in your general direction and at your regurgitated conjecture.

[@juanpe8512]

Before he was a god and now he is a devil. A lot of hipocrisy and a lot of people talk so much without have taken a bike in their lives

[@surfinDelMar]

Sadly, just shows how naïve people are and how easily they can be manipulated by people/media. No idea what they're talking about yet so sadly think they do. Just regurgitating what they hear and can't think for themselves. LA was a scapegoat for a dirty sport. Payback for the French wussies not being able to win their own race. And now we are supposed to believe that the sport is clean even though it's been dirty since it's inception and the avg speed at TdF hasn't decreased.

[@ty56ty65]

ggodbye Lance ggodbye johann

[@rhymeister]

Hahahahahha, ain't that the truth. Bruyneel is just as guilty IMO, esp when it came to coercing LA's teammates to start doping.

[@Haaiimynameiis]

This beats really nowhere on!! do you really think the other 498 no doping use?? only the last 2 of the tour have nothing used,

[@surfinDelMar]

That's not true either. Avg speed in TdF hasn't dropped since LA's era...therefore, doping does nothing or they're all still doping. Hmmmmm....www.businessinsider.com/lance-armstrong-doping-tour-de-france-2015-1

[@SuperJourneyer]

No he was just the most doped up!

[@dragonXak47]

so this video is talking about ARMSTRONG IS FATS BECOUSE USE THE BEST BIKES AND SUITS SO HIM IS NOT SO FAST ALONE!???

[@schoonerchow]

kind of reminds me of the drug era in mlb. it sounds like he cheated to win but he alos beat alot of other cheaters too.

[@mekore]

1. everyone else? definitely no 2. dopings used are not damn equal, plus He endorsed Ferrari to to other riders, and developed a doping network, and don't forgot UCI bribery. He can use the best shit out there with any dosage without getting caught. EQUALS? should I also mention the bullying? stop kidding me

[@immobiliaresantacrocesrl664]

the science of doping!

[@michaelb.4362]

Shut up you fucking loser

[@40datboysha]

I was inspired by this story, but now I have read the USADA 202 page report. I clearly think Lance was doping from 1999-2006. I know what made Lance better, the cocktail of banned substances flowing throw his system to win. The man is a cancer survivor and just blew everybody's dream away by cheating at all odds to win. Lance was everything that was bad about professional cycling. All these documentaries are a huge joke now! He will take a hit in the wallet after 10 sponsors dumped him.

[@dandylibano]

il piu' garne dopato di tutti i tempi!!!!! ridicolo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sempre e ovunque W MARCO PANTANI

[@emanmark]

LOL - Cyclepath Lance Armstrong !

[@vistigioful]

I love bikes. Check out my bike.

[@bhpng1970]

The science of doping… 😂

[@justsomefellow]

The documentary is incomplete they left out a lot of the science.... epo, testosterone, cortisone, modafinil, caffeine, maybe even cocaine... Lance is a cheater and seems to be a bully but to be fair to him, these finishes were pretty close.... do you think the guys who finished the tour de france literally a couple of inches behind him were clean?

[@youcrackers2]

owned by a bug

[@fujrts]

*fate

[@mekore]

sure, drugs plus talent plus training will do

[@kaneocean]

oh he injects thats forshure ;)

[@CollectiveDefence]

Ofcourse it's doping. And not only that,it's also dangerous for your health

[@angryantaus8550]

Science of cycling, epo, blood transfusions, steroids.
