1) Lance Armstrong
2) Rebecca Adlington (that conk gives her an unfair advantage as it parts the waves in front )
3) The Scottish rugby union team 1991 (committed many collapsed scrums to cheat England of their 1st grand slam since 1980 - mccunts)

You might be right but Walsh is a bottlejob cunt and he did it at a distance. Unless I'm wrong LA Confidential was published more than 10 years before it all came out. What was he doing in the interim ?
And just ask Emma O'Reilly, the masseuse that Walsh used to accuse LA and then 'hung out to dry' as she put it when LA's lawyers came after her. Cunt.
Kimmage, on the other hand, fronted him day in, day out. People talk of electric atmospheres at press conferences whwre Kimmage was the only one to 'dare' criticise him face to face.

Oh and as to the OP, saw a feature from French TV from this weekend investigating these motorised cycles. Some journalistic license involved but also some unreal race footage of wheels turning on their own (eg after accidents, etc). Some of the revelations were pretty amazing, to me at least.
Some of the stuff on the likes of Cancellara, for example, was simply outrageous. Froome came in for some grief too but much less credible.
Worse, they showed new technology that involves electro-magnetic wheels (I shit you not) that, if you're into cycling, you need to see.

Kimmage just kept on and on like a yapping dog. David Walsh did a lot more damage to Armstrong than Kimmage ever did.

Armstrong wins hands down.
Not only did it enable him to win the TdF SEVEN times, it involved a highly organised international drug trafficking ring, as well as intimidation (both physical and, ironically, judicial) of other riders, journalists and colleagues over that entire period. OK, he didn't actually kill anyone but he ruined numerous lives.
Don't underestimate the degree of physical intimidation he employed. The only journalist with the cojones to regularly front him in press conferences was Paul Kimmage. Everyone else, journalists and peloton alike, pretty much shat themselves.
As others have said, he built a huge business empire and profile, much of it on the back of involvement in charity - making full use of his story as a cancer survivor (the cynicism involved is actually impressive).
Funnily enough, if it hadn't been for his sheer hubris in insisting on his comebacks he would more than likely have got away with it. It's worth bearing in mind that this was a man with serious political ambitions. There was certainly talk of him running for Governor of Texas at times.

Antonio Margarito...
Had plaster of paris under his hand wraps for a fight with Migel Cotto & Shane Mosely thus making his hands like rocks.
Cotto was badly hurt in the fight & nothing was done about it.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has received a touchline ban for the final three La Liga games of the season.
The Argentine, 45, appeared to instruct a ball boy to throw a ball on to the pitch to disrupt a Malaga attack during Atletico's 1-0 win on Saturday.
Simeone, who was sent to the stands at half-time, said: "It is clear the referee took the correct decision."
He will not miss Atletico's Champions League semi-final first-leg at home to Bayern Munich on Wednesday (19:45 BST).
Simeone will miss the home game against Rayo Vallecano on 30 April, the trip to Levante on 8 May and the visit of Celta Vigo on 15 May, the final day of the season.

How about that utter CUNT Diego Simeone? Instructs a ball boy to throw a ball on the pitch to disrupt a Malaga attack during Athletico's 1-0 win.
Fucking cheating Argie CUNT and his team are a reflection of him. Don't want him anywhere near England.
