Not the end of the headaches for him:

The case may not be concluded for Armstrong, however, as the US Anti-doping Agency (USADA) has announced that it is "looking forward to obtaining the information" which was gathered through the grand jury investigation.

Now Fat Pat and Verbruggen's civil case makes a bit more sense. They knew this was coming and are planning to ride the yay-Lance wave.

But of course....trolls of the world will still cry foul no matter how many replays they watch.

 

Chuss!

At the pleasure of repeating myself, i would have accepted guilty verdict, how many critics would accept an otherwise outcome. What did the Feds find out to dismiss all the "evidence" put before them. Critics were claiming that his Livetsrong bracelet was a dead cert to be replaced by a metal one and he would be frog marched to the nearest jailhouse to serve his time.

 

Its not over yet though, conspiracy theories such as Feds were paid off, hell i'm even waiting for alien angle to be expressed.

Meh. I was here long ago. Who do you think merged the freds?

 

So the feds dropped the charges, meaning they can't find enough proof that Lance used USPS (government) funds to pay for his doping program. It doesn't mean they found him "innocent" of doping.

 

Remember, this investigation wasn't about sporting fraud, it was about misappropriation of government funds.

As I said above I hope the feds will be taken to task now by the litigation mad Yanks for wasting taxpayers money.
