Here Lance is trying to make up some of that 75 mil he “lost” that day.
Allow me to kick of this one off. Mr. Tilford here I assume has developed skills at Photoshop(R) or equivalent and included Mr. Armstrong as a janitor or custodian. In first viewing of the image, I did not recognize LA, and was unsure what to make of it. I assume here the idea is Lance Armstrong is sweeping the floors of races, etc., to make up for the reported $75,000,000 deficit in his income. However, perhaps not oddly, on first seeing the image, I first related to the sweeper here, not to the other podium placers. There are different personality types in this world, and hence our sport. There are those that view service to others as something worthwhile. To be an elite athlete, from my viewing, is to be in some regards self-centered and selfish. I have been observing this now for over 30 year, and I would say it this is necessary, as you must win. This is not a negative statement of our cyclists, you must think you are the best and you need to win. Athletes- this is your job, metaphorically and literally. But sweeping the floors is something that is also needed and is also important. Perhaps some community service might be useful for the center of in this ongoing soap opera. Service to the sport, service to others, this is something that I hold dear. Cycling will continue, but we will have work to do. Cleaning up the mess that we have is no a small thing, but it will shape the future of this sport.

No past dopers, caught, admitted, or anything related, should be allowed a second chance to be near a team, on a team, run a team, or own a team atmo.
Fing Hell, some people don’t know funny shit when they see it. Public mockery is a fine punishment IMO. LOL from me, Steve.
Yes, sorry, it is funny, didn’t mean to imply otherwise.
The image is funny in the “man bites dog” sort of way. Assume minimum wage at $7.25, that is 10,344 hours of corner marshaling for the $75,000,000 mark.
Another podium sweep for Radio Shack.
I guess this just proves the point that some people will resort to anything to be in a podium position.
Chapeau!
A journeyman pro’s take on Lance and doping. Though it worth reading.

Okay, slow on the upbeat here. Now I get it. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and as a consequence the National Day of Service. Wonder how he is spending the day.
Calvin – you may want to add 3 more zeros to that hourly total to hit the $75 million mark. 10,344,000 hours @ $7.25/hour. Not trying to be ‘high brow’ or anything along those lines. Just trying to point out how large of a sum of money $75 million is.
can I steal this pic?
Msharp-Sure,steals way. And Calvin, you’re off by a factor of 1000. It would be 10,344,000 hours or 1,293,103 work days or 5,173 years of work at minimum wage.
Was it a coincidence he’s dressed in an orange jumpsuit? Maybe we’ll get to see him picking up trash along some of our favorite cycling routes.
Yeah, or hand him the oversized scoop shovel for all the BS he dished out!
