re: Lance Armstrong explains how to change a flat tire in strangely practical video

Armstrong's mission was always to gain sympathy and the support of the fans. The more people liked him and the more he was viewed as a hero, the harder he would be to take down.
He flew under a myth of LIVESTRONG raising money for cancer research when it's main mission was cancer awareness, NOT research. That means money from LIVESTRONG could buy a jet and Lance would fly around the world in racing in triathlons and bike races in his LIVESTRONG gear hiring the worlds best coaches, all in the name of cancer awareness.
He is the greatest fraud in American sports who always has an agenda with numero uno in mind and left a tral of pissed off people and burned relationships behind him of people he has fricked over.
It's sad, because I really, REALLY wanted to like him. LIVESTRONG did help people, but it could have helped so many more. Lance was always t be #1 priority. Hopefully, the new leadership can bring a new image, but it will take alot of work.

I've always struggled with how I felt about him. One one hand I enjoyed the arrogance he had which you need to be the best. Aside from doping because he still did everything in his power to train the hardest and win. I remember hearing a story where one of his trainers moved his seat down like half a mm or something ridiculous and told the writer " watch he's going to notice and tell me to adjust it", writer thought no way and sure enough lance noticed.
On the other hand I'm not sure if the guy isn't one of the most manipulative, selfish, and fake people in sports history.

in all honesty, this could be said for hundreds of athletes, past and present.
