"He tested positive for being the biggest [jerk] in the world.'"

"In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, Armstrong said that -- faced with widespread cheating in his sport -- he would do it all over again and that authorities singled him out because of his contentious nature.
"I knew what my competitors were doing," he was quoted as saying. "We [his U.S. Postal Service team] were doing less. We were more conservative, and that's the reason we were never going to be caught."

"This is a story because I was a bigger [jerk]. Because I was more litigious. Because I was more combative," he said. "And I've heard from a lot of people who say, 'You made all the money, you got all the fame, you deserve this.' And I hear that, and I understand that people think that way. But it's not consistent with what USADA has said.

"If we're going to be honest, then just say, 'He's a [jerk]. We had to go after him.

Lean in

There a knockout video of a boxing knockout, which, sadly, I cant embed here. Very very sadly.
In the main event of Fox Sports 1′s boxing debut Monday night, cancer survivor Danny Jacobs defeated Giovanni Lorenzo with an epic third-round knockout that reaches stratospheric levels of epic thanks to Fox’s super slow-mo camera.
Don't mess with cancer survivors, unless you are referring to cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. Who, btw, is now referred to as "disgraced professional cyclist". Lance seems to have max out his cancer survivor, don't leave home w/o it, card.
"If you want to shoot me the bird, that’s OK," the disgraced cyclist says of his upcoming ride, which comes half a year after his highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking of stratospheric levels of epic; seven tours of the ef*n Tour de France. If its too good to be true, it's probably Oprah charging Swiss Sales Assistant with racism.
