Lance Armstrong Banned and Stripped of TDF Titles

[TNT1]

I suspect his PR machine posted.

 

I wonder, if you send three faxes to the traffic department, after close of business on a Friday, and don't get an immediate response, does that mean you don't have to pay your speeding fine?

 

Spin, spin, spin

 

Good analogy. I think Lance was hoping that his bribe would have been sufficient, and that he'd never have gotten fined.

Actualy thought i was keeping a rather low profile on this but seeing you asked... Yes I've got and have said a lot on it (in the past as I'm sure u recall...).

What's the story behind the USA Cycling release naming four riders - all former USPS members - of ruling themselves out of the Olympics?

Surely he would announce his retirement now instead at the end of the season. Why risk the chance of being caught before retiring.

Lance Armstrong demands more transparency from USADA before answering doping charges

 

Lance Armstrong and his legal team - who are required to reply in writing to the United States Anti-Doping Agency charges of doping by next Thursday - say they don't have enough information on the specific charges as the Doping Agency continues to protect the anonymity of its witnesses.

 

Ironic that that is all the cycling world wants of him.

So true.

 

 

But unless they can come forward with more conclusive proof as well as being more transparent, Armstrong's attorneys will have a hey-day with this one.

It's just sad that he's being prevented from competing based on the hearsay that a number of ex-rivals (or current, as they seem) can produce.

 

Oh, he beat me, but I saw him doing X y & z...

 

yeah. Sorry dude (ex competitor person). You're bitter. Suck it up and go complain somewhere else where you don't look like a complete cnt.
