why would it be anti american , to say anyone likes or loves you?
really fint, you oughta think about what you just said
cause in that sentence, you basically expressed a silent wish to be hated by everyone... and shown a tendency towards paranoia...

it's not about national security
it's not about terrorists
it's not politics

it's cycling man , it's a stupid sport , of tools on bicycles
guys that get payed very little , to turn off their mind
and stomp on the pedals, in hope that one day they will be picked up in a big , high profile team, with reasonable pay(relative compared to the time and effort invested) where they can either be the helper of someone like Armstrong, or god forbid the team boss will make them the teams hope for victory, and order the others in the team to support them instead....

how many of those bony , characters have you seen in advertisement lately?? not much ad contracts go their way you know... it's not the right sport for that.. most big advertisement deals go to F1 racers, soccer players even Golfers
Cyclists, not so much , the advertisement is done on a team basis
if you wanna advertise in cycling , you get a trainer , start a team

the list of money makers in cycling, is very short, and there are very few exceptions that make it really big money wise

Armstrong is one of the few ... but then he did win the TDF 7 times, that kind of track record is not very likely to occur again anytime soon...
and i still wonder how his finances compare to say someone like Michael Shumacher, who won the F1 championship 7 times
or Zidane, Ronaldo, or Beckham... i think it's would be a very sober comparison

so chill out , no need for any big mouthing about any impending invasions, the cycling community is not worth it really...
