The balls on this guy! Lance Armstrong plotted to use his cancer diagnosis as a defense if he was ever questioned about using steroids! Via NYDailyNews reports : A former teammate of Lance Armstrong testified in a sworn affidavit that Armstrong planned to use his testicular cancer as his “card to play” if his doping sins ever caught up with him, according to a source. Jonathan Vaughters, Armstrong’s U.S. Postal teammate, said in his affidavit that Armstrong blamed the spread of his cancer on the fact that the International Cycling Union (UCI), the sport’s governing body, didn’t detect high levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Armstrong’s body when it tested the cyclist. The drug, known as hCG, is taken by males who are steroid users to boost their natural testosterone levels and prevent testicular atrophy. According to a Daily Mail report, which printed portions of Vaughters’ affidavit, Vaughters said that during a U.S. Postal training camp, “I had a conversation with Lance in which he told me that the UCI should have detected a high level of hCG in his doping controls when he had cancer but failed to do so . . . Lance said, ‘If I ever have a doping problem, I have this card to play.’ ” Last week, Armstrong admitted to doping during his two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey, and said the PEDs were behind his seven Tour de France victories, titles which have since been stripped from him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. USADA’s reasoned decision on Armstrong, released last year, includes information from numerous affidavits from his former teammates. Armstrong told Winfrey that he did not think PEDs were responsible for his cancer, which he was diagnosed with and battled before his Tour victories. This guy truly ain’t isht! Just think about all those people fighting cancer who thought this guy was a hero, when he was actually a zero! SplashNews

I woke up today to the New York Times’ eye-opening page-one report on Lance Armstrong’s role in the U.S. Postal Service cycling team’s doping conspiracy, and, after finishing Juliet Macur’s excellent story, I couldn’t help thinking that the disgraced Tour de France winner, who’s been stripped of his seven titles, should have made a very different cameo in Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story . If it’s been a while since you’ve seen this 2004 laugh riot — one of my favorite comedies of the last 10 years — Armstrong has a small but pivotal role in the movie in which he inspires Vince Vaughn’s character Peter La Fleur to go back and continue fighting for the Average Joe’s dodgeball team that he has abandoned. According to IMDB.com , this is how the exchange goes: Lance Armstrong: Hey, aren’t you Peter La Fleur? Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong! Armstrong: Yeah, that’s me. But I’m a big fan of yours. La Fleur: Really? Armstrong: Yeah, I’ve been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can’t get enough of it. But, good luck in the tournament. I’m really pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you’re gonna be late. La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit… Lance. Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I’m sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that’s keeping you from the finals? La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like… shame. Armstrong: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn’t have anything to regret for the rest of their life. But good luck to you Peter. I’m sure this decision won’t haunt you forever. That dialogue now seems empty and sad in light of the Times report that “hundreds of pages of eyewitness testimony from teammates, e-mail correspondence, financial records and laboratory analyses released by the United States Anti-Doping Agency” paint “a picture of Armstrong as an infamous cheat, a defiant liar and a bully who pushed others to cheat with him so he could succeed, or be vanquished.” In light of the Anti-Doping Agency’s information, Armstrong would have been truer to himself if he’d made a cameo in support of “those jerks from Globo Gym.” [ New York Times ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.
