I'm sure he has many triathlon accolades in his future.

I don't think so.  Not any big triathlons, anyway.  He can't race in anything covered by USADA.

It still amazes me that the FDA, with all of its resources, had to drop its case due to lack of evidence but USADA can proceed with their case.

The FDA witch-hunt budget was axed due to the recession  :P

I dont understand, he never tested positive.
Have I missed something in all this?

I wonder whats really going on? It seems like Armstrong has been found guilty on the testimony of drug cheats trying to save their arses. About as reliable as prisoner testimony in order to cut a deal.

Did they retest his samples with newer tech? Do they store the samples to test retrospectively?

Our big local race, the Whiskey Off-Road has the biggest one-day purse for a MTB race in the world (or did last year...), and is not sanctioned by NORBA or USACycling. Floyd Landis won it the year after he got popped, so I guess I can look forward to watching Lance Armstrong come storming by on the long climb out of Skull Valley in 2013 - if, that is, I'm fast enough to be descending that 12 mile stretch while he's made the turn and is heading back up.

can I then start taking down company execs because of things I "saw" happen at strip clubs?  I was the only outsider but I saw it........wait I'm unreliable for being there too.   [bang]  this is bullshit all the way around.  I hope the entire cycling world rally with him and to boot boycott all Tour de France........period.

Definitely never going to happen.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

the fact that they have all these 'witnesses' shows that the cyclists don't care about Lance anymore now that he's not carrying them.

Had he stuck with the team and not his own organization I could have seen these 'eye witness' accounts never even have happened.

Good article.  [thumbsup]

Interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it this way, but it does appear to be a blatant double standard:

The same people lining up to brand Lance Armstrong a cheater will worship a pitcher who undergoes Tommy John transplant surgery to save his career. The Oakland A's Bartolo Colon will be missing 50 games for taking testosterone, but what about the batters he's faced who have had their eyeballs surgically refabricated with Lasik so they can read his pitches better? Is the rule that it's OK to enhance your performance by scalpel but not by hypodermic needle?
