No, it's cool to like Armstrong. I think he's an amazing individual in his own way, but he's just the architype Seppo, and with the amount of foaming-at-the-mouth fanboy rubbish that goes on here, SOMEONE has to counter it by reminding people about some of the absudities that come along with being and archetype and an athlete.

Such as -

1) He's the worst thing thats happened to cycling since Lemond
2) He's sponsored by Nike, who's owner is not only a crackpot fascist cult leader but has also been fully busted for dodgy labour practices in the Pacific Rim.
3) We don't need a obsessive compulsive genetic freak to remind us about Cancer and sell us stupid little yellow wristbands. If I want to do something like that, I'll donate 10% of my wages to charity and go visit my Grandma's, grandads, best friends' graves. Oh, I already do.

etcetera.



Oh, almost forgot. GO VINO!
