Armstrong's Razor, Ctd

Posted on 07:38 by hony
One more quick note on Lance. A common argument point when people say "he must have doped" is "how could he be so much better than everyone else unless he cheated?"

People don't realize this, because it isn't widely known, but Lance Armstrong was setting triathlon records in Texas as a teenager (competing in the adult category) in the 80's and those records still have not been bested. Lance Armstrong, cheater or not, is simply not human.
