Lance Armstrong has spoken about his interest in golf with Golf Digest magazine and he discusses amongst other things, cheating. He talks about cheating in golf compared to cycling and views them differently.
“Golf is different from the culture of cycling when I was competing, and that’s putting it mildly. Cycling, it was the Wild West. Nobody considered doping cheating. It was an arms race where absolutely anything went, and it was every man for himself. You might consider me the last guy to have anything to say about cheating, but golf is different.
I love adhering to a code of honor that we in cycling didn’t have. If I moved my ball in the rough and got caught, I wouldn’t just regret it, I’d be heartbroken forever. When I think about reform in cycling, I think about golf.”
He also talks about Chris Froome, and talks about the importance of cadence, which happened to be one of the reasons he used to give to try and explain his own superiority a decade ago.
“Chris Froome does everything wrong. He’s got a choppy pedal stroke. His arms are sticking out, his head is down, and he’s all over the bike. He’s the Jim Furyk of cycling, unconventional in every way. Except that it works. And the reason it works is superior cadence.”
