Lance Armstrong gave himself cancer says Sonnen**UPDATE** Sonnen Denies

"When you screw up, you have to own it. That stuff really gets under my skin. Take Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer. Well, instead of saying ‘Hey listen, I cheated and gave myself cancer, don't be like me.' He actually made himself the victim and then went out and profited something like $15 million dollars from this ‘Hey, poor me, let's find a cure for cancer' campaign instead of just coming clean and saying, ‘Look, here's what I did, I screwed myself up, and I hope people learn from my mistakes.' You just watch these guys and can't help but think, God, what a fraud. You got the whole Michael Phelps being a pothead thing too. I'm just glad I'm in the business I'm in so I can get them in the cage and kick the crap out of them."

Well, I gotta say I didn't see this twist coming. Chael Sonnen has turned his focus away from Anderson Silva and onto Lance Armstrong. Yes, the guy who rides bicycles. When asked by Larry Pepe on Pro MMA Radio what really bothers Sonnnen, Chael all of a sudden went on this rant about the seven-time Tour de France victor. The number one middleweight contender alleges that Lance actually gave himself cancer by blood-doping and taking performance enhancing drugs. Once again, Mr. Sonnen didn't let a little thing like facts get in the way of spewing hot air. A quick Lance Armstrong search on Google reveals that the cyclist was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996, but won his first Tour de France while first being accused of using PED's in 1999. I'm surely not one to nitpick on facts when it comes to pre-fight trash talk, but in this case, the Oregon native has officially crossed the line. And who knows where he was going with Michael Phelps hitting the bong a couple years back. Where do you come out on this nonsense? Any cycling fans, or virtually anybody else for that matter, take offense to this garbage?
Odd rant.

lol, know this is weird.. :laugh:

Either there is some guy who sounds disturbingly a lot like Chael, a pro CSI made an audio by cutting out numerous words of Chael and made the tape OR he has multiple ego's.
It really is weird though, if it really is him, why would he even say such a thing if he denies the whole thing? Usually, he seems like a guy who will always stick to his words.

From what I understand, everyone possesses fatal disease potentials within our genes, many lie there dormant, some don't, how and/or why they are triggered isn't fully understood. More then likely, many of us have many multiples of deep, dormant cancer genes, some of which can be directly kept dormant by our physical and dietary habits, and some become triggered by unexplainable and unjustified reasons.

This link was posted in the tito thread because of the first part, but if you wait till :27, Chael Sonnen comes on and accuses Silva of greasing with baby oil and being a (and I quote) "cheater". LOL wut.


edit: relistening to this it definitely sounds EXACTLY like him. The nasal whine, the sighs during speaking, the little cackling laugh, all of these elements are present in both segments of that audio. either someone does a PERFECT impression of him, or he's full of shit.

I watched a lot of cylcing when I was younger and the guy dominating then was Miguel Indurain. One of the reasons Indurain was so good was that his body was built a bit differently and he actually had extra lung capacity to a normal human.

A lot of people think if your that dominant in cycling you must be on the juice, but I think Indurain is a good example of someone who had a natural physical edge. So its very possible Lance was not on the juice. Id sooner be thinking innocent until proven guilty

from wiki:
Armstrong has recorded an aerobic capacity of 83.8 mL/kg/min (VO2 max),[35][36] much higher than the average person (40–50), but lower than some other Tour De France winners, such as Miguel Indurain (88.0, although reports exist that Indurain tested at 92–94) and

I'd love to see an instant rematch- Chael earned it and blew me away with how he handled Anderson for 4+ rounds. That being said he did lose- the ref should have been more clear when he called it though. It looked like he called it and then just sat there without completely being clear he called the fight over.

Vocal front of MMA, Chael Sonnen has been in the headlines for several years for his choice of words for his opponents and also his legal troubles. Now, courtesy of the Jim Rome Show, Sonnen went on the offensive in describing a run-in he had with disgraced former Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong recently admitted to taking performance enhancing supplements during his career. Sonnen was suspended from MMA after he tested positive for raised level of testosterone. While Armstrong’s case represents a much bigger scale, Sonnen was still put into the spotlight of eliminating PED’s from the sport of MMA. Either way, the two athletes don’t quite see eye to eye:

“Why are they calling him a bully? That’s what I can’t wrap my mind brain around. Lance is a dweeb, the only thing he’s missing is the tape on the glasses and the high water pants. That guy couldn’t get respect at the local Honky Tonk in my hometown. He threatened to sue me so I threatened to kick his ass and the whole thing went away.”

“Look, I get it and I’m kidding but Lance did do some bad stuff and he was a jerk about it. Yeah, he hit me up with the whole ‘I’m gonna sue you’ routine and I hit him back with the whole ‘I’ll kick your ass’ routine. That’s it, that’s where it ended. I thought he was going to go through with the lawsuit but he did not.”

Whether you like Chael Sonnen or not, his statements will not cease so why not enjoy them and indulge in some of the most creative trash talking around.

Yeah, he's roiding legally, and blood doping isn't even tested for in MMA, I wouldn't be surprised if many fighters do it to some degree, although its not as safe for MMA as for sports without weight cutting.


Lance should have gone into MMA instead, clearly
