Tumbleweed Posted August 24, 2012 Share Lance's lawyers warned Usada. Wada don't seemed fazed: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/wada-armstrong-stance-raises-questions-charges WADA: ARMSTRONG STANCE RAISES QUESTIONS ON CHARGES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted August 24, 2012 Share Many reports suddenly coming out. I am a little confused. Is he going to be banned or stands the chance of being banned. The fact that he will not fight this - is this his way of admitting guilt without admitting guilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SingleTrack Posted August 24, 2012 Share Not sure is this has been discussed but here goes. Seeing that cycling is a team sport, should the whole team not be disqualified if one of the members is caught doping? Surely the whole team would have benefitted from the member that doped?

The fact that he will not fight this - is this his way of admitting guilt without admitting guilt? Nope, the decision about the titles still has to be made. Lance has merely stated his intention not to go through with arbitration. The title issue will become more complicated. Expect to see Usada, Wada and the UCI at the CAS soon.

Anyway, it will be a very sad day for cycling if they strip him from his titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwynn Posted August 24, 2012 Share Just a personal opinion. I think it is all BS! If he is guilty it would have been proved long ago. Anyone will get gatvol with a witch hunt and eventually bow out. Twombles, Dustbin Dog and Bargains 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted August 24, 2012 Share ESPN reported that he has been stripped. Anyway, it will be a very sad day for cycling if they strip him from his titles. Usada did come out quickly to say they will strip him of the titles, but I think it still has to be made official. They'll have to decide on the sanction and inform the USAC, Wada, the UCI, the tri union, etc… Edited August 24, 2012 by Tumbleweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted August 24, 2012 Share Some 1 in usada got it out for lance I hope not! I'd think you can say that Lance got it out for Pat, and maybe someone in Usada had it in for Lance. Wait, even that sounds bad… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
