Actually he failed a test recently that they didnt have back in 1999 for a banned performance enhancer he used then but they werent able to detect back then.

Lance Armstrong is the most tested (for doping) athlete in the world and not one time has be failed a test. During the Tour de France, he is under 24 hour surveillance by the press and officials. Even his hotel room is monitored and checked. The man has is a freak of nature, large lungs and large heart and the wierd ability to produce less lactic acid = ultimate endurance and stamina.

Its kind of sad that its 2005 and there is still alot of racism in this world.

He's not being racist. He's generalizing. It's human nature.

He's stereotyping, not generalizing. Big difference.

And not enough urine for more stringent testing. The French officials and media HATE Lance Armstrong, who's to say they didn't taint his urine sample? And what of his other 6 years of winning? Until its without a doubt proven, I'm gonna go by "sore losers" dementia. The people of France love Armstrong...but the French press hate him.

Meh...symantics.

Spaniards who settled in the New World may have mixed in with the natives, but a lot of them still look Spanish. And the Spanish are white. Basic Anthropology 101.

native is the dominant gene

I think boxing success is more rooted in social status. Most of the best bixers come from poor backgrounds and unfortunately more Blacks and Latinos lie in poverty than whites.

Corrales and Tito have punching power and they look black to me.

Stereotypes dont work.

You didnt read the post fully, it says strength is not power, power is a combination of strength and speed so both races can punch hard.

I'm not talking about stereotypes any, i'm taking about genetics. An example of a stereotype would be to say all black people like rap music.

Whites are stronger than blacks?Since when did this occur?It isnt white americans it is usually russians.
Color has nothing to do with anything really.Besides whites praising Marciano by saying a 180 pound slow unskilled white man could beat a 250 pound skilled black man most whites arent really racist.
If anything mexicans are and ricans are the most racially biased .If you look at any mexican rican or asian who is a member here they will not only brag about fighters from their race they will also have a flag of their country or mention something about where they are from on their avatar.
Being poor has nothing to do with bein good at boxing or all of the champions would be russian of polish or some other poor group of whites.Infact more people are poor.There aren't that many rich whites or blacks.You see alot of sucess from mexicans and ricans and asians at lighter weight classes because not man grown white and black men are that small.
If mexicans and ricans entered all weight classes there would be no white or black champions period.This country is based on kissing non white and black peoples azzes.That is why not many white guys are champions.Look at how popular De La Hoya is.But each time he faces a black man who isnt a bum they kick the shyt of him but he gets away with a cheap win.Look at how many good white and black fighters get overshadowed in this country.Look at how many years it took before Winky Wright became champion.Bronko Mccart was a very talented boxer...maybe not as good as Wright but the man never became champion.
Look how a fighter like Ruiz keeps getting title shots.Is Ruiz skilled?Hell no..Is Ruiz exciting to watch?Hell no.But since he is a puerto rican living in our country the white and black mans country lets just keep giving him shots to fight or win the title.
The blacks who do win the title are usually loud ignorant fools.They usually make my black race look bad.Which is the reason you hear about them.So whites can look and say look how ****** that black man is.Look at what he is doing now.Look at how every time a black fighter does something wrong how the media jumps all over it.But when a white does something you don't hear shyt about it.Paul Spaddafora shot his girlfriend didn't he?But how many times do you hear about that?Mike Tyson makes a dumb statement and it is all over tv.
But anyway as i said all of the best atheletes will always be white or black.You might not see many blacks riding bikes because they don't want too.You man not see many whites run the 100 meters because they don't want too.Most weight lifters who are good usually come from germany or some russian country but most of them were probably on roids.When it comes to boxing sometimes the best fighters are black then later it could be black then it could be a good mixture of both races.
Blacks=great atheletes and whites=great atheletes.

I dont think it will go away either, there are a lot of race hang ups still.

Personally i hate people who say "black people have a right to be annoyed at white people because of they way they were treated in the past". thats just the most racist thing i have ever heard in my life, its just saying its ok to hate someone because they remind them of someone in a totally different era. If we dont forget that type of thing we'll never see past skin colour.
