Eyes something, chest too, was breathing so heavy. Not for him, Lance Armstrong. But because I want to know why all of this, the whole, become such a big tragedy?
From Why start?
I have never understood the meaning of the Tour de France
, let alone the fun of watching the Tour de France. First of all, I do not understand the meaning of this kind of competition. No matter what, the most important thing for me is not victory. Others, but surpass ourselves. I am not saying that all competitions are meaningless. Of course, competitions inspire us to surpass ourselves, stimulate our potential, and promote communication. Tour de France in this sense, or other competitions, I can understand. But at the same time, "Victories" and "medals", these are easily addictive and addictive, instead of the fun of the thing itself and the challenge to ourselves, they become the motivation and meaning of our game. Yes, I can fully understand the kind of defeating opponents and even humiliating opponents. It’s undeniable that this is instinct. This is a kind of desire. But we are not just animals. Rules, ethics, restraints and desires that guide us, this is the difference between the game and the jungle, isn’t it? In the
documentary, Armstrong recalled the first time he rode after testicular cancer surgery (he had not won a Tour de France championship at that time) and said:
So I got on the bike and I just
gently rode
around my neighborhood.
That was a big day for me .
And I went half a mile.
And I did it in tennis shoes, and
I did it on a mountain bike.
But I was on the bike.
I was pedaling the bike.
All the feelings that are associated
with that, the wind in the hair,
that initial sense of freedom
that a bicycle gives a child.
Kids love bikes because it's the first
time in their life they're free.
It's the first time when they're
not in their mom's car,
they're not in Mom's living room,
they're not in Mom's backyard.
They get on the bike,
they go down,
they take a right, take a left.
Nobody sees them.
They’re completely free.
That’s a very important day for
me. I ride less than a kilometer.
I wear tennis shoes and ride mountain
bikes. But I’m on a bicycle, stepping on the pedals
. The
wind is blowing in my heart
. The freedom of riding a bicycle as a
child. Children love to ride a bicycle because that is their life.
The first experience of freedom
. The first time I didn’t sit in my mother’s car.
Not in my mother’s living room or backyard.
They rode their bicycles and rushed down
to turn around at will.
No one was watching. Complete freedom.
When conquering others instead of conquering himself, he took his own happiness. The root cause of the game has also been handed over. If he is still racing because of the joy of riding, not "victory" and the things brought about by victory, then there should be no need to take medicine, no need to lie, right?
I will continue to talk about why I said me I have never understood the meaning of the Tour de France,
let alone the fun of watching the Tour de France. If we assume that there are three kinds of fun in the beautiful scenery of France cycling against high-level opponents on difficult tracks: the ride itself; everyone challenges themselves ; Two hundred riders as the highest level as a whole challenge the limits of mankind. Then the current Tour de France has lost all this meaning.
If I say that the current riders still enjoy their riding and appreciate the scenery along the way, etc. , surely you do not believe, is not it? whenever possible podium and who are not in the eyes of the yellow jersey? ultimate challenge now is to limit the human body's limits or medication?
road Juji line itself, put people As a biochemical motor. Almost everything can be measured by data, power, speed, heart rate, cadence...
What I don’t know is, what do we watch? If we say NBA and mountain bike cross-country competitions, we can still appreciate the skills of the players , Then when we watch the Tour de France, shouldn’t we look at the statistics of the players after each stop? Unless you are riding, you will never experience the pain. Across the TV camera, Armstrong’s high cadence makes you think he It’s never too much effort. We just stared at the podium, looked at the team’s results, and discussed who this year’s yellow jersey and polka dot shirt was on, and what it might be like tomorrow.
Audience, media, competition organizer, players, team... Together, let’s make the Tour de France no longer the way it was.
These are not cycling all about. These are not cycling all about
.
As for Lance Armstrong, he was just too aggressive, he could not accept defeat. Lies and deceptions, once started, could not be stopped. Even after he deceived others for more than ten years, he had already deceived himself. Even before he had to admit After using banned drugs, he still argued in an interview with Oprah:
I'm a drug cheat.
I'm a cheat. I'm a cheater.
And I went and looked up
the definition of "cheat."
And Definition of cheat IS at The "to
GAIN AN Advantage ON A Rival or FOE."
by you know, that They do not
have have, or that, you know ...
the I DID IT that not View Way.
I used doping cheat, I cheat.
I’m a person who cheats.
I’ve checked the definition of "cheating".
Cheating is defined as
"using the advantage of an opponent or an enemy."
They have no advantage...
The
documentary that I don’t watch is pretty good. I recommend that you watch it more than twice from start to finish. , If you don’t just want to make a sloppy judgment of right and wrong.
If you have to have a conclusion that is similar to the conclusion of a coffin, then I can only quote the former teammate Franchi Andrews and his wife at the end of the film, as well as the documentary producer. A few words.
Did Lance win it according to the
rules of the road at that time?
Yeah. But Lance win DID IT
ACCORDING to at The rules?
No. Still Broke at The rules of He.
The Just Because Everybody's Breaking
at The rules does not Mean IT's Okay.
Former teammate法兰奇安卓
according to the prevailing rules of the game
Lance whether win?
Yes, but did Lance win according to the rules?
No, he is still a violation.
Everyone who violates the rules does not mean it is OK.
GiBNEY: Another definition
for cheat is "to deceive."
That's why Lance is a cheater.
He deceived his fans.
Yet it's also fair to say that
they were willing to be fooled.
So many people,
from cancer survivors,
to reporters,
to sponsors, to myself
loved the beautiful lie
more than the ugly truth.
The story was
a bestseller for Lance, too.
(Documentary producer)
Another definition of cheating is "deception."
So Lance is a liar.
He lied to his fans,
but it is not too
much for many people to say that they were voluntarily deceived , from anti-cancer successful people
to reporters, sponsors, and me. I
love beautiful lie
truth is better than the ugly
story of Lance is the best salesman
at the doping iS Bad, but Lance's
abuse of power iS worse
before teammate法兰奇安卓wife
use drugs bad
but Lance abuse of power more Bad
