    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: Re: If you can't see the difference between sitting on Oprah's couch and admitting to lying and admitting to misconduct during legal proceedings, there is nothing I can do for you. Courts take 'misconduct' as part of the legal process pretty seriously. Let's take a look at what the...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    Re: Re: Armstrong did not offer an apology in any of his other 'mutual settlements' to date. Maybe you should do a little research about the specific context instead of just lazily spouting off platitudes. It's way beyond "negotiating for dummies" with any of Armstrong's cases...

    Re: Re: Since we are suddenly all about being precise - as part of the 'mutual settlement' Armstrong made a public apology to SCA. "I am pleased to have this matter behind me and I look forward to moving on. I do wish to personally apologize to SCA and its CEO, Bob Hamman for any past...

    Re: Re: There is also a bit of probability that SCA thought would work in their favor. They insured a bonus for winning 5 tdfs. Even cyclists who were known to dope had failed to win 5. Why? Because stuff happens - crashes, injuries, lack of team support and doping being bad for you long...

    Thank you for treating cancer patients and volunteering. People like you should get the press and kudos, not guys like Armstrong.

    Because making a dumb meme of someone's user name goes a long, long way to refute that this forum drama is incredibly immature. So Glenn, does Race Radio like you, or does he like you like you? ZOMG!! I'm gonna go stalk his Facebook to see!!! Seriously? This is quickly dropping from hs...

    I love that Race Radio has quit CN and started his own blog - yet you guys are still arguing about him. Wow. It's like being 30 years old and still being obsessed with who was in what clique in hs. Hey, this is an internet forum - the drama here doesn't matter. At all. Race Radio has left...

    Chewie, please don't get a dumb ban. You're one of the few guys who makes interesting contributions to the Armstrong thread. Your legal insight is one of the few decent things left in that cesspool. And it's not like the press really provides much legal analysis.

    Armstrong doesn't have the mentality of a guy who thinks bad things will happen to him. He's gone headlong into so many risky situations- doping, doping post cancer, lying under oath at SCA I, his comeback, refusing a deal with USADA, talking to Oprah. I can't imagine him sheltering his...

    Oh yeah. The super amazing profound topic of wildly speculating about Armstrong's financial situation when there are a f@ckton of unknows. Did he invest the $? Make tons off those investments? Loose his shirt? Stash it in hidden accounts long ago? Spend it on hookers and blow? No one here knows...

    Jesus, let it go. RaceRadio seems to have left the building and you are still trying to argue with him? Un-freaking-believable. You're on record with your "Armstrong will make $ even if he loses" theory. You've beat that horse to death, thank you very much. People disagree or agree. Just let...

    Meanwhile, back in the land of kinda intelligent discussion... An interesting tidbit or two in the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0219-lance-armstrong-consequences-20150219-story.html 1) Michael McCann noted that courts rarely overturn arbitration rulings. Of course, rarely...
