I am so sick of the Lance Doping story. I wish he would just stop denying it. We all know he's dirty and even his own are turning against him..But it seems there are some other casualtys left in its wake.. They (his own people USADA) are firing up one massive bomb agains Lance.. He is going down.. hard and Im glad. Reading this actually sadened me. but maybe tha 90's and early 2000 years of pro cycling just needs to be delt with and put away. http://www.iol.co.za/logger/p.gif?a=1.1335258&d=/2.225/2.228/2.261The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that Armstrong's former teammates have been given six-month bans that begin in late September. Citing “well-informed sources,” the paper identified them as Jonathan Vaughters, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde. http://www.iol.co.za/sport/cycling/armstrong-claims-vendetta-in-doping-probe-1.1335258#.T_XZG_V5fpw and from another raport.... Dave Zabriskie, one of Armstrong's former teammates, heads to the lift, unwilling to comment. Vande Velde, another US Postal team graduate does the same, while David Millar, shocked by the news, says he can't comment without knowing the full story. Later in the morning, once again outside the team bus, Vaughters appears; reading a statement that almost regurgitates the team's policy in light of Floyd Landis's allegations from 2010: We're a clean team, we'll cooperate with the authorities; we'll focus on the future, clean cycling and the race in hand. Vaughters and his backer Doug Ellis run a team based on ethics and sound business acumen but stretches both principles around an ethos of clean cycling. No needles, no outside doctors, no exceptions. Yet the team is a Mecca for riders in Vaughters' mould and from his generation. He, too, rode for Postal, with Armstrong, before turning towards another path. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/past-becomes-present-for-vaughters-slipstream-organisation Its a sad sad thing I tell you.. I cant Imagine what It must feel like Being a pro in the middle of the tour when news like this comes out..
