Ski Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 After crashing out of a night slalom, Bode left the WC Tour to relax and "get grounded" by spending time at home with his brother, missing races for the first time since 2002. He also spent some time with a Rolling Stone reporter and called Lance Armstrong (who has never failed a drug test) a cheater. http://skiracing.com/news/news_display.php/3187/ALPINE It's one thing to bash Barry Bonds, since Balco was practically founded on his behalf...but attacking Lance with NO evidence other than some French scumbag tabloid newspaper articles, is totally f@*ed up. Bode is such a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kragan Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yes he is, but hopefully this will get us more coverage of the alpine skiing in the upcoming olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yes he is, but hopefully this will get us more coverage of the alpine skiing in the upcoming olympics. I still think that he knows exactly what he is saying and doing. Everyone is talking about BODE!! The sport needs characters like him to get the interest up! Props for being controversial and outspoken!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 We won't get more coverage of alpine events because of Bode, just more snipets and tabloid-like crap rolled into what is already scheduled. Like, they'll use Bode's controversial stuff as a teaser into some highlights. We'll see Bode's slalom run, for example, but they won't be showing us Kalander, Pranger, and Matt, for anyone that cares. Bode is like the drunk, naked guy that runs out on the field at an NFL game. It's amazing how fewer of those guys are now that the TV cameras don't show them. He was just on ESPN and they were talking about him bashing Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong for using steroids "knowingly". Lance never failed a SINGLE drug test. He is an American sports legend in a league of his own, yet in a sport most Americans don't give a crap about. It was the strength of character and will and everything else that makes Lance who he is. Surviving cancer after being written off, then dominating his sport year after year. Attacking Lance Armstrong is pathetic and makes Bode sound like a rotten little kid that isn't getting his way. I still think that he knows exactly what he is saying and doing. Everyone is talking about BODE!! The sport needs characters like him to get the interest up! Props for being controversial and outspoken!! I can't even fathom someone would seriously believe this.
