    Is it just me, or is betsy a diamond? Smart, loyal, persistent, hot and tough... Frankie may not have won a tour, but he’s got a winner there in Betsy.

      chucky ! He was getting paid by US Postal, the very team who provided them with the illicit drugs in question. He is supposed to give the money back to them, I guess. Genius.

    The doping wasn’t the real reason Lance Armstrong is such an odious person. It was his cruel treatment of people to maintain the lie.

      jenny misteqq and doping is not the real reason Lance went down, sponsors knew it and they didn't do anything while he was a profitable player, he went down because he wasn't bringing money anymore because of bad reputaion about doping

      @@Sobchak2 They attacked first out of spit for being kicked off the team. They were cool with lance until her husband started sand bagging. Lance is in no way right in this situation… but they are just as petty, they just lack power. Her husband doped the whole time. That’s why the conversation in the hospital happened. Andreu’s teammates confirmed he lied too.
      It’s all a stupid power struggle.

    Actually it was only an audio of someone from Lances side who called Greg Lemond with a veiled threat if he testifies in court, he will expose him as being molested as a child. Stupid stupid stupid. I wish others could hear that bizarre voice so he could be identified. It was ingenious how Greg Lemond brought it out in court the next day. Seriously, a movie needs to be made and the proceeds go to his individual victims." I called you crazy, I called you a liar, but I never called you fat" can't make this stuff up. Hollywood couldn't even fictionalize anything better than Lance's own words. Who talks like that?

  • @MelissaCoup
    @MelissaCoup Před 7 lety +8

    Lance Armstrong should do a movie about himself. I watched a youtube video where he (I assume) his camp called up Greg Lemond and threatened him pretending to be the guy who molested him. His voice was really raspy, it was quite stupid. Put that in the movie. Drunken horror, serously this lance is a nutt job but also quite comical. No need to insert untruths. Lance needs to contact a movie company, work with the victims to ensure the truth is told in a somewhat comical manner. Sadly people want to be entertained nowadays so it would likely need to be comical. But add in reality, how he ruined these people's financial lives, not just tarnished their reputations for a time. Lance step up. You owe them a hell of alot more than an apology. Betsy, you and Greg Lemond are my heroes! Blessings, M.

      Lance is incapable of telling the whole truth. He still believes that history will remember him as a winner at the TDF.
      to quote Trump "not true" just "alternative facts"

    Maybe she was obsessed with this story, maybe she wasn't. However, no one can deny Betsy has an iron will and a huge mount of courage to virtually take on the Armstrong empire on her own. Her story is as compelling as Armstrong's.

    Betsy and David Walsh are hero's. LA remains a sociopath, never accepting the extent which he shit on his best friends. Love Betsy, Frankie is a lucky man. She is like my wife who would kick my ass.

    2019: The average speeds in professional bike races are still 30 to 40 km/h. This is just doable on doping, with only hard training it's not possible.
    It hasn't changed.

    with all due respect, i know what kind of woman Betise is. IT was not about him cheating, every1 did, her husban did. It was more about her husband not making as much money, or much much much less then ARmstrong who was full of sponsors. The shit hit the fan when she saw Andreu climbing. Soooo, we see who wears the pants in this marriage. She went on bringing Lance down, but what she didn't realize, her husband made even less after as a reporter, then what he would have made continuing to be part of the system. What greed does. She is as bad if not worse of a person as Lance. Too be fair, Lance's only mistake was, he was making millions and rubbing it in too much in the nose of hard workers around him.
