they should just allow it and regulate it. i thought we learned that lesson from prohibition.

Other big cyclists were caught on doping and never lost any title...
And all of them were tested positive.
So, you either use the same punishment for all or gtfo...

nadanada,
That's exactly why I can't believe some people are wanting money back from donations made to LiveStrong. Though fully associated with Armstrong, the money went to the organization to do the things you described - not fill Armstrong's pockets with cash.
Nobody was duped out of the effect of the effect their donations had on the work the charity has done.

Of course he was juicing - you try playing a trumpet for hours on end.
Everybody needs to leave Louis Armstrong alone!!

meh, i don't give a shit. lance is still my hero.
his foundation has raised $500million+ for cancer support - which both of my parents used when they had cancer. dad had prostate cancer, mom had breast cancer twice. they are unique in the fact that they directly support the people diagnosed and not so much the giant pharma research labs - my mom's best friend was diagnosed with a super-rare spinal cord cancer, and it was LiveStrong that knew where the best doctor in the USA was - and they set up all communication and helped her figure out the insurance bullshit etc. and - they give you a number to call 24/7 and there is someone there to listen and support you when you're going through this shit.
so yeah, fuck USADA. i rode this weekend in the LiveStrong Challenge, my company fundraises for the foundation, and we're going to double our contribution for next year.

The sport overall is going to loose a lot of steam. Lance sold a lot of bikes for the industry when he was winning. Now with all this, no one can be trusted in this sport. I am pretty sure that next years races will be the slowest races ever raced. Either that or every racer is going to get busted.

They referring to blood doping? taking your own blood an re injecting it into you body? How much of a performance increase do you get from doping anyway?

If they (USADA) pays me 1 million dollars I swear I saw Lance doing THC vapors, shooting smack, biting necks for fresh blood and drinking piss with steroids...

I kind of hope that he decides to confess all and bring the whole mess down around him. Seems very convenient to have one man as scape goat for a very sorry sickening sport.
I'm pretty sure he must have dirt on everyone. It looks like he bunged money around the place to the authorities and the rest of it. Cycling and cyclists made a hell of a lot of money because of Lance Armstrong, and I do hope he has the ball (s) to tell all.

Still no actual evidence though, huh?

A friend of mine lives in Austin. Lance's hometown. For years she's been going to the Lance Armstrong 24/7 Fitness Center.
Well, now it's just the 24/7 Fitness Center. Saturday they got new signs. Even in Austin they're ashamed of the guy.

- What has the fbi got to do with winning or drugs ? Seems like extra work for them, really.

Bollocks. It's practially been proven that everyone else doped in the Tour races which Lance allegedly doped in. In other words: he still won on a level playing field.
Get it over with and start a doping league. It'll end up being like car racing where technology is king. You either have the talent and the goods to win or you get out of the sandbox.
- Bollocks! It wasn't a level playing field. Lance Armstrong was the highest paid cyclist in the peloton and therefore had better doctors and techniques. Read Tyler's book - it most certainly wasn't a "level playing field."
ronburgundy - access to better doctors and techniques. Read Tyler Hamilton's book and you will quickly find it was in no way a level playing field.ronburgundy

- All the more reason to have it all out in the open. At least it can be about who's got the best "funding" and not "cheating".Gucci

Armstrong offered bribes to fellow cyclists in Philadelphia race and others.
