You are completely missing the point of the parallel. Nobody is claiming City players took physical drugs, the comparison to Lance Armstrong is about the psychology and structure of systematic sports fraud.
Armstrong didn't just "have a better bike." He ran a sophisticated, underground program to bypass regulations, then spent a decade gaslighting the public using the exact same script City uses now:
▫️Hiding behind clean historical tests/audits.
▫️Smearing investigators as a "bitter cartel political witch hunt."
▫️Using on-field excellence ("we train harder" / "we play beautiful football") to mask administrative deception.
In cycling, physical doping forced clean athletes to dope or accept permanent defeat. In football, financial doping forces self-sustaining clubs to spend beyond their means and risk bankruptcy just to stay competitive.
City didn't build a "better bike" within the rules. They built a bike with a hidden, illicit engine powered by an £830M disguised funding scheme, falsified their ledgers to hide it, and got convicted on 114 counts of sports fraud. It is the exact same blueprint.
Comparing Manchester City to Lance Armstrong is absolutely miles off it. 🤣
He PHYSICALLY doped and gave him an unfair advantage that no amount of training or equipment could match. It wasn’t a case as simple as him having a better bike or equipment to gain a slight advantage.
City did not dope or use PEDs. The advantage came from (compared to some clubs but not others) more investment and also just far better investment in the squad, infrastructure, coaching etc. essentially building a better ‘bike’ in the process and then using it more effectively than other teams on the whole.

"Sell United and f*k off home" sing MUFC fans, the only good thing about the club right now.
And it's right. The Glazers have made their money many times over for 21 years. Fans never wanted it and that takeover should never have been allowed. Do the right thing: sell up and go.

To be fair to City, you can't expect a club that hasn't won a trophy in 51 years to compete with the defending European Champions.

A piece from more than 5 yrs ago detailing how in the decade to the end of 2020, Man City made £1.7bn in commercial revenue, or £600m more than each of Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal's AVG of £1.1bn each in the same period. It stank then and it stinks now

There has to be a strong case now for Sky and other channels ceasing to broadcast Manchester City games live until their punishment has been decided. Their games are ghost games.

They’ve turned the game we love into a total farce and are just laughing obnoxiously at the colossal damage they’ve done. Being in United’s shadow for so long really did cause generational trauma for these clowns. Just an awful, pathetic little club.

Huge scandal - and I have seen alot in my 66 years - Like City getting just over 3,000 fans at a home game vs Mansfield town in 1998 to a 'massive' home crowd of 10,000 versus @NFFC in 1997. I saw you go from struggling to fill Maine road to struggling to fill the Emptihad 😂

It’s with deep sorrow and unimaginable grief we announce the passing of Darren (Webby) yesterday on 12th August after a long battle with cancer. Darren absolutely loved life, his family, friends, followers and his beloved United 🇾🇪
