Human nature is nothing more than that

As a triathlete and a former road bike enthusiast, come out and say a few words. Remember the infamous Barco Lab? How many champions are clean in track and field? Conte has said that with his technology, at least 20 or 30 drugs cannot be detected. If there are 8 people in the finals of the Olympic track and field competition, then all 8 people must take the medicine. Remember Pantani's sudden death?
At the top of competitive sports, you must rely on drugs (except for a very small number of events). Talent and diligence are the foundation, and with the foundation, drugs are the last step to the top, but don’t forget that talent is not available to everyone, and hard work is not. Everyone can do it. For most people, even if you train crazy and take drugs, you can't reach the level of Armstrong. Don't you want to reach the top when you have talent and work beyond ordinary people? Human nature is like this. At least Armstrong didn't forget to do charity when he gained fame and fortune, and he also actively promoted cycling. On the contrary, it was Landis who was jealous of seeing Armstrong's achievements and constantly wanted to expose the truth. The motive was evil in itself. Everyone agrees to take medicine together, train together and compete together. If the performance is not as good as others or if they are caught taking medicine, they will start malicious revenge. I think this is even worse than Armstrong's denial of taking medicine. Including Nike is the same. The termination of the contract is nothing more than worrying about the impact on sales. Everyone is doing it for profit.
I always think that the best in every sport is the genius of human beings in a certain sport. This kind of talent is innate. Coupled with acquired efforts, drugs are only the last stepping stone. The problem is at the top. At that time, did you rely on your own influence to make positive things? Armstrong in my eyes is the damn liar who created the Livestrong Anti-Cancer Fund to make the world fall in love with cycling!

The Armstrong Lie quotes

  • Lance Armstrong: I viewed my battle with cancer as an athletic competition. But in that, you either win or you lose. When you lose, or if you lose, you die. So I took that perspective, which is a little dark, and I put it into everything I've done since then. I like to win. But more than anything, I can't stand the idea of losing, because, to me, that equals death.
