The worst part? It wasn't even a well written blog. Just another "see I was right" rehash of something he said years and years ago. He skewers the sport for 5 or 6 paragraphs and then throws in a completely unrelated and illogical "bravo" to the current riders? You'd think he'd have time to...

I'll ask again, how does an employee of a company get convicted for defrauding the government? Lance didn't take sponsorship dollars, his employer did. Why not the hate for Hincapie or any other rider on that team that supposedly doped? If Lance is guilty of fraud, every employee on the team...

Here's a few questions, and I'm actually looking for answers, not looking to get sh@t on as a fanboy, etc. - Marion Jones took steroids, which are illegal. People want Lance to go to jail pretty badly. But, unless I'm wrong, EPO, testosterone, and blood transfusions aren't illegal. Or, am...

Lance was a rider on the team. He didn't own it. If anyone is convicted of fraud, it would be the owners and/or management.

Yes, because when the guy who you know is going to win the race in the mountains is in the second group, and another guy who you want on the podium is in the front, you tell the team to open a gap. It wasn't to screw Contador, it was go gain LA time on everyone else who got caught out. This...

Really? We're touting the Mount freaking Pleasant, Texas newspaper as a great source of news and commentary?

I'll try to point out the idiocy of this post, without insulting the obvious troll poster. He did not campaign with anyone or endorse a candidate for President. Plus, no matter who you listen to genius (see, that's a compliment), there's nowhere near 60 million uninsured. The number...

I think he'd be getting Schleck to put forth the best team he can to please the sponsors and keep the team going. If, in the process, he could spite Contador, I don't think he'd mind. Say what you will about how LA treated Contador, but there wasn't a whole lot of respect ever paid back the...

I'd love to see Kloden give it a shot on a team that supports him. Although I think he showed this year that he can't quite keep up on the long steep climbs. Although, if he wasn't pulling AC, maybe it would have been different. I happen to respect guys like Hincapie, Levi, and Voigt...

Let's do the math, guys. Levi tried to leave and win the Tour. How'd that work out for him? You're denigrating him for understanding his limitations as an athlete. He is on a team where he gets to win races that he sets his sights on such as the Tour of Cali, then gets to support the best...

Please god no. Garmin doesn't win a lot of races, but they seem to be a tight knit group. Having been at a couple of their team events here in Boulder, I don't see how Contador fits in at all. Not a whole lot of Spanish speaking on the team, and I don't see him going out of his way to fit in...

Apologies.

That is one thing that puzzled me this year, it seems counter productive to have a hard climb, only to have the finish be on a descent where everyone can come back together.

a) I wasn't whining b) I have nothing but respect for Contador c) my post had nothing to do with Lance d) get a freaking sense of humor

As much as I've been lumped into the "fanboy" camp here, I completely agree with you.
