It appears to have some validation this time, whats everyone's opinions on the possibility that Armstrong is PROVEN a doper ??
My personal feeling is I think they all do, or have......for all that he has done for the cancer community, Including $250 MILLION toward cancer research....I say he has made it right. I also think some people are trying to make themselves famous by nailing the most prolific tour winner to the cross.....but that's just me

No matter what kind of hearsay testimony is thrown at him, all he has to do is point to all the testing results that were done and found clean and say, "I stand on the results of the most complete testing available which found me clean and legal."
If they do anything against that, they basically throw the whole testing procedure they've used out the window and say the tests are meaningless.

He probably has done some things. He's an asshole according to some. So what. Catch him or let it go.
just sayin.
I dont think the professional cycling doping control whatever its called is the big problem, its more the Federal Prosecutors trying to make a big name for themselves trying to hang for "defrauding his sponsors" by Doping ? here is a good article about it in the NY times

just sayin
HE PASSED THE TESTS. IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.
It's part of the game
He'll either fess up or go to prison
That's his choice
Pit Row
It's part of the game
Exactly
Although, I agree with 99% of you post, I don't understand how someone like you, who is so set on enforcing the law when it comes to other issues, can support someone who is successful in finding a way around that law.
Why not just address the issue in the thread?
If you pay attention at all, you should know that I don't two shits about either side, and I believe that it's those like you and Nacho that keep this fucked up political system alive today.
That's -exactly- how I was told sometime, ago.
Also, the pursuit of this issue seems to be based on the argument that Lance committed perjury...
Again, if he were ever in a court or were ever deposed, he would just say that he's been tested at every TdF numerous times and was never found to have banned substances in him. He doesn't have to say anything else.
The testing was good enough to throw people out of every TdF he won. If it's no good, then they shouldn't have thrown anyone out. The rules of the game they were playing under said that you got thrown out for failing tests.
This ten year later quarterbacking really serves no purpose.
If it's a dirty sport and they cannot police it, well, then so be it.
They already have a lot of testing and rules and so on, and that's the focus--looking forward.
Legislators and courts really don't have anything to do with this. They should stay out of it.
I am good friends with Floyd, have been for a while now. Spent a good bit of time training with him last winter. I have plenty of friends on Radioshack.
Two key things. When the baseball thing started, everyone said jose canseco was just bitter and he had no ground to stand on, blah blah blah.
Second, you guys talking about doping in cycling is about the same as a 9 year old kid finding his dads playboy and explaining sex. What goes in pro cycling and what the public knows are very different things.
I am not a LA fan by any means. The guy is a dick. But, he has done amazing things for cycling in the US, not really anywhere else though, regardless of what espn tells you. He has done a lot of cancer funding. The research side is another story in itself that I am not gonna get into. But his foundation does a lot to help those with cancer.
Him falling will create some big waves. Things for cycling in the US will change. The rest of the world could care less. Everyone here thinks its just bike racing. But more people watch the Giro then the super bowel and most americans think the Tour is the only race. Its huge in europe and this wont impact things there.
