Lance Armstrong was found guilty of cheating, because he was the only thing that mattered to the sport in terms of public perception. It's a boring sport, more people should cheat. *beep* that Oprah episode, that was just ratings bait. Like anybody actually gave a *beep* besides the other racers/europeans.
shareah, so if no american is interested in the sport, but the rest of the world is, then it is classified as: nobody in the world interested? How unbelievable arrogant
YES others are interested in this sport, and you just classefied millions of europeans as "nobody".
NEWSFLASH: NOBODY is interested in the superbowl, american football and baseball
- "is this the secret headquarters of the gestapo?"
- "It was"
I don't get it. Nascar is boring. Your US football seems to go on for hours.
Why did the Americans love cycling so much - was it just because of Lance?
Europeans love cycling. It's more than just one rider.
In Britain we've only just come good at cycling in the last few years but I've loved the sport for decades.
If you've not climbed and descended an Alp - you've not truly lived.
The problem for me is that cycling has been troubled by drugs for a very long time. For me it seems that it's a contest between chemists now and the ability to evade drug tests.
As other people have already pinpointed, he was the only thing that mattered to cycling in terms of... American public perception.
It's a somewhat tipical attitude in American people. You tend to consider your interests as global. You should be a little more open minded. The world doesn't end where your borders do.
Nobody has cared about Cycling since...Lance Armstrong was found guilty of cheating
The Brits care about cycling.
It's that man again!!
