TechrightsBot@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Armstrong (cyclist) amassed a fortune of $0.1bn by cheating; I like it just because it shows how rigged competitive sport has become.Feb 23 14:22
schestowitzhence competitive sport is bunk, which is the point I was trying to get acrossFeb 23 14:23

schestowitzIt wasn't "cheating", it was the norm. The performance expected from the athletes would not be possible without these substances which replace the haemoglobin in the blood. Feb 23 14:23
schestowitzIt would have been better if everyone was open about it and said tat it was part of research to test performance enhancing substances - which could be useful to people in extreme conditions such as high altitude or underwater or even space activity - quite apart from the military.

schestowitzSport is all about cheating - when the first team started using telecomms to improve communications within the team or developed carbon fibre frames, better tyres etc. - all that is cheating. Feb 23 14:23
schestowitzIn any case, what non-fans don't know is that the Tour de France and the other tours is a team sport and winning depends on a good team supporting and protecting their leader - it isn't a competition between individuals.Feb 23 14:23
