When Urban Velo comments on bikes, it usually does a good job. But human nature, I’m afraid, is a topic at which Urban Velo does not excel. It is best to leave that subject to scientists and philosophers. By the way, recent science tends to show that cheating is actually NOT part of human nature. On the contrary, the norm seems to be a a desire to be fair, and to play by the rules. In addition, behavior such as cheating is often dependent on cultural context (and we now know the ‘culture of doping’ and ‘code of silence’ Armstrong presided over in recent professional cycling). I am personally not aware of any science showing cheating is part of human nature. In fact, the very term ‘human nature’ is controversial, and open to debate. Some people are not even sure what that terms means, or if such a thing even exists. No one denies that cheating (or indeed doping) exists in professional sports. The question is why it exists, and the answer is likely to be pretty complex. But to say that cheating is ‘human nature’, or that it is an inevitable part of professional sports, is a huge stretch, and a very poor defense of Armstrong.

Professional bicycle racing is a joke. Always has been. Always will be.

But I’m guessing the he’s an ‘Asshole’ is what you didnt like. Let me explain, anyone who has millions of dollars that goes to a restaurant and don’t tip the waitress is an ASSHOLE.
There are a shit load of accounts of him being an Asshole.
That’s not Acting or Being Positive my friend.

That’s what I meant.
Sorry bro If he’s your hero, but just calling it like it is.

Thankfully, The Onion’s “Cheat to Win” yellow wristbands are back on the market.

Do bad deeds, sooner or later it will eventually get back to you. The dude was an asshole, a lier, and a cheater. That’s Karma.

Be Positive, Act Positive, Stay Positive my friends.

The really sad thing is that giving money to pharmaceutical companies to develop more drugs for cancer is actually counter-productive to human health and well-being. The ‘best’ part of his legacy may well be the most damaging in the long run.
