scotty Posted October 12, 2012 Share i see sca are investigating claiming the bonuses back...Talk is he might end up with metal bracelets in place of yellow rubber ones. 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.

scotty Posted October 12, 2012 Share Might only be bronze, but at least he will keep it....for now Berlin - Lance Armstrong will keep his 2000 Sydney Games bronze medal for now despite being accused of cheating his way to the top in cycling, the International Olympic Committee saying it is still too early to take action.

'Dale Posted October 12, 2012 Share Bought it last week - could have waited until Wednesday and saved R250 by reading the USADA report ... Good one, JGR! I'm working my way through the USADA doc as "essential reading". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted October 12, 2012 Share not if the USADA report is anything to go by. Bruyneel was just as big of an influence as Lance when it came to getting new team members to dopeBruyneel is taking his case to arbitration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Race: Ullrich, Vino and KlodenTT: Ekimov, Ullrich, Armstrong Damn! Gonna have to start heading down the results sheet to find the winner.... Jan is still my favourite rider/doper of all time. At least he did it right - get shmangled off your head on pills and then ram a rack of bikes in your Porsche. Thats how you dope! Edit: Ahhh the good old days. Erica Green cracked 25th in the ladies XCO and David George an 86th in the men's road race! Robbie Hunter DNFd.

SwissVan Posted October 12, 2012 Share Chancellara on Armstrong Swallow a few Kaffe Schnaps before and enjoy http://www.20min.ch/...id=0&vid=273708 Cancellara getting out of that contract? He does not mention that, other than he said he will continue on...from what i understood of the swissgreek is he said: " its a sad affair, not positive but a negative exposure for cycling especially from the old cycling era... we must allow it to happen (the fall out from the usada report?) It's not some (my) problems or worries...I must carry on with my job as normal" Due to lack of Schnapps for Kaffee there might be some discrepencies in the above translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
