George Hincapie’s net worth is $40 million dollars.

 

fark - he should write a book

They should force Contador (among others) out of the sport as well since they are on a mission to "clean up"! I'm sure they did find detailed drug administration logs on allot of guys during the good Dr Fuentes saga. After they are finished with this springclean session there will be NO sponsers left in the world of cycling

I agree here, lifetime ban straight away, the world has enough hungry cyclists that can provide entertainment.

Did you see the court case with Chambers (British athlete) that successfully appealed his life ban from Olympics? The British Olympic committee had in place a automatic life ban from the games for dopers but this has now been overturned. Same thing to happen in cycling if they get life? Maybe ban them from the grand tours?

And more than a million new cyclists since the TdF and Olympics just in Britian.

'tis not a bad life this doping malarky:

 

.What is George Hincapie’s net worth? George Hincapie’s net worth is $40 million dollars. Born in Queens, New York, George Hincapie is a road bike racer, currently racing for BMC Racing Team. He has won multiple races over the course of his nearly 20-year career, including Gent-Wevelgem, GP Ouest-France, Three Days of De Panne, Tour of Missouri, Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, and he is a three-time National Road Race Champion. He is most widely recognized in the racing world as the key domestique of Lance Armstrong, and is the only racer to have assisted Mr. Armstrong on every one of his Tour de France victories. He has raced on nine Tour de France winning teams, and is one of only two riders to have achieved that number of wins, ever. He is also well known for his excellence in short individual time trial races, and has placed first, second, or third, in all but one of the competitions in which he has competed. He recently began a record 17th Tour de France.

 

He also has a clothing brand out now.

I think everyone is overreacting. Lance didnt dope. He never tested positive and why would he? Why would he risk his reputation by doping?

 

I think this is a witch hunt by someone who doesnt like Lance. Maybe Jan Ullrich sits behind it all as he will now become like 5 time winner or something of the tour?

 

Everyone? He didn't? based on? There seems to be a clear reputation of bullying, but then that's not what this is about.

Witch hunt?

 

Of course it's a an over reaction, a witch hunt, in fact it's all one big conspiracy by that association then. Yes?

 

The list of respondents and the report makes it counters the silliness of the above statement.

Hint: It's not all about Lance, but a far greater scope of people involved and sophisticated doping ring. LA is but one element, albeit one of the higher profile people in the investigation.

I really hope guys like Nibali, Rodriguez, Gilbert, that other liquigas youngster, and 1 or 2 others which i cant think of now, does not test positive or at least does not get caught otherwise it will get very boring whatching/following these races

The sad thing is we all have our favorites and hold thumbs their names never appear, it's how we deal with it that will make the difference.

 

I said much earlier ,way back in this thread, us the viewing public are as corrupt for expecting these riders to constantly push the envelope, we do it in every sport.

During the Olympics I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Bolt to set new records.

Possible jail time for Lance?

 

 

Disgraced American cyclist Lance Armstrong could face criminal charges of perjury after denying charges of drug use under oath in 2005.

 

In terms of US law, perjury is classified as a felony and Armstrong, if found guilty, could face up to five years in jail.

 

According to the Telegraph's website, the possibility of perjury charges relates to a civil arbitration in November 2005, which had been called to adjudicate between Armstrong and his company Tailwind Sports against SCA Promotions and Ted Lyonhamman Insurance Services.

 

The latter were reluctant to pay out the $5m bonus due to Armstrong after he won his sixth consecutive Tour de France, as rumours spread as to his possible use of performance enhancing drugs. The insurance company and SCA wanted assurances that he was not doping before paying out. However, Armstrong wanted his money so, at his insistence, they went to court to resolve the matter.
