Wow! Ben Foster looks exactly like Lance. He even took PED's to really put himself into the role.

Even non-cyclists should get a kick out of this movie.

    That still of the video makes him look like a cross between Louis CK and Josh Homme =)

    What do you think about his taking PED's for this? I know it's similar to actors gaining or losing much weight or going to other extremes but mostly strikes me as pretty ridiculous.

    Good question, I'm pretty sure he had to train for this movie for all the cycling scenes from the many phases it takes to get in shape to do so. That said, he probably wanted to see what the difference was from going without to taking the many forms of PEDS Lance took. To the point of how much of a marketed improvement those drugs were going to do for him. The feeling of what was it like to drive Lance up climbs like H'Alpe D' Huez above all other riders.

    He's playing Lance so he has to in many ways become Lance with his arrogance and sheer ruthlessness he had to those who opposed and accused him of taking PEDS.

    He should not be eligible for any awards. His performance was enhanced. I don't think it's fair for the other actors

    I'm still a Lance fan. Dude was just doing what everyone else in cycling was doing. But he got singled out & made an example of by the USADA just like Goodell did to Brady. The way I see it, our doper beat everyone else's dopers 7 straight times, after beating cancer, with one nut, while banging Sheryl Crow. Good for him!

    All those things and circumstances I can understand but did he have to be so obnoxiously ruthless, mean to those who opposed him. This coming from one who was one of his biggest fans. I drove to Silver Spring MD to the Discovery Channel building to get his autograph. He was nice and gracious there but he sure could have done more of that though.

    The one thing that gets lost in all of this is that most of the other guys who were doping as much as Lance only got a 6 month suspension.
