How journalist helped to expose Lance Armstrong’s doping in cycling – BBC News

Published

on



Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong’s doping was reported on by journalist David Walsh for more than 12 years.

At the time, the champion cyclist strongly denied the claims and Mr Walsh and The Sunday Times even faced being sued for libel.

It wasn’t until 2013 that Armstrong finally admitted he did use performance enhancing drugs and promised TV presenter Oprah that he would apologise to David.

Armstrong was stripped of the seven Tour titles he won from 1999-2005 after admitting to doping following the years of denials.

    It was the doping era. Top 20 guys all popped for doping. The guy who survives cancer twice beats them, still a hero in my book. It’s one thing to be the only guy to do it, it’s quite another to be one of an era. Cleaning up the sport is a good thing, but Armstrong gets way too much shit for something that was commonplace during his timeline of wins

    Hello  hows your day? I   want to share you
    This is a message from your loving God.
    God is a loving God and want to save us all.
    God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment.
    He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus.

    There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings)

    Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive.  Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and  that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how  many shades of  colors  are and all animal have to be black.
    Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time.  This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that.

    They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something.
    But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean.
    They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now.
    Thats a lie because:
    The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea.

    Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing.

    A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work.

    I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my mother saw one angel vision first and then three visions of Jesus. After that it took 2-3 days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back, my heart started to calm down, I started to gain weight, blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all of my hairs back too. This is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God, you will find true love. God bless you all.

    After I survived I got Gods wisdom to read a Bible🙏. Before that I didnt understand because I studied only in a school. And real Bible I read only few pages. But when I started to read I understood its perfect🙏. Please look what Jesus told in the new testament because its perfect talking🙏.
    Thats how you know God is real🙏
    Humans cant talk perfect. I was dying and I asked help and I was saved🙏. Who have read know the truth and Jesus want to save you also. Look how much there are stories Jesus saved🙏. Thats why im talking to you right now. I hope you believe me🙏. I dint live good life before that. I was really drunk sometimes. But still Jesus saved🙏. God bless you🙏

    There is nothing wrong with using performance enhancing substances. Everybody's body chemistry is different and some people have natural advantages due to that chemistry. Let people do whatever they can to be the absolute best they can be.

    Imagine how Michael Phelps could of took swimming to the next level if he had all the pharmacological tools available. Sports competition is all about who is the best, lets see how far the human body really can go. It like a nascar restrictor plate race, take the plate off and lets see what they can do.

    My son admired Lance Armstrong, and he and I watched all the races on TV, and followed him closely. We watched an endurance test done In a lab where the doctor afterwards told the viewer that this cyclist had an amazing natural ability to get strength and endurance into his muscles, or something to that effect. We were both in awe. Then a few years later came the revelation that he had been doping all along. It was a huge letdown for my son. His hero had cheated. How many other kids were crushed after learning how badly this athlete had cheated? Lance hurt so many kids who looked up to him – and he cheated his competitors out of wins. Really sad human being.

    David Walsh was successful at bringing down Lance Armstrong. The sad truth is doping is still alive and well in pro cycling. It's just as ovivious now as it was when Lance was racing. It's there and I'm surprised we don't see it, it's so obvious.

    More than anything else, this is what defines a good human being: the ability to admit wrongdoing and strive to make it right. Armstrong has done neither.

    While he did some good in trying to clean up the sport, he didn't clear his personal mistakes. That speaks mountains. What a sad little man.

    Hi, it's 2022. What's next, an update on Watergate? 🤔

    Also, you can hate Lance all you want, but to suggest that he was a "nobody" in 1999 conveniently ignores the fact that in the year prior he had finished in 4th overall at the 1998 Vuelta, and had already won the World Championships in 1993, three years before he was even diagnosed with cancer.

    Armstrong was a great champion and the best cyclist in history. He was robbed of his titles. There's not an athlete out there who doesn't use some kind of medication prescribed or otherwise — or successful person of ANY kind including YOU!!! If Armstrong's DOPE were bad, he'd be dead.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
