Drinking games to wash away shame tonight in Boulder
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the Daily Camera
Boulder's Rick Vosper said he's hosting a "Lance Oprahcalypse Hecklathon" on Thursday evening. Vosper says the watch party will give the cycling industry a chance to heckle Armstrong as a group and start the healing process for all the damage the cyclist has caused.
Vosper said he and his friends have thrown around a few different drinking games to play during the interview. In one, those watching must drink every time Armstrong lies, Vosper said.
They threw out that idea because "everyone would be stumbling drunk within 15 minutes," Vosper said, laughing.
Most likely, they'll play "BingoStrong," a special Lance Armstrong Bingo card with statements like "It feels good to get this off my chest, Oprah," and "This doesn't change my fight against cancer."
All jokes aside, Vosper said he's heard from many in the cycling community that they can't wait for the whole "Lance fiasco" to be over.

You sure did forget some: about half of the Pro/Cat 1s who raced and trained in the Boulder area from 2000-2010.

Don't you think it's about time to let it go?
You can be as angry as you like, but stirring the pot by bringing it up every time there's a discussion on doping is growing tiresome.

Or better yet say it to his face if you can't let it go. A good bet he will be full on racing again this year so plenty of opportunities if you feel so moved.

It's time for bike racing fans to HTFU like Carmichael's hard-sided briefcase.

What do you mean, what happened to Horner? Maybe he's the one guy who they knew wouldn't dope, so they never approached him about it, but he was good enough they kept him on the team anyway. Regardless, his name has never come up in any allegations, either from the testers or his teammates. I, for one, am prepared to accept him as an example of a guy who's enjoyed a long, fruitful, clean career.
