Horner's not getting a contract because he's going to get destroyed next year. At 41 and end of his career, Horner had nothing to lose by pushing whatever cheating/doping strategy he had to maximum effect. If he got caught, no big deal - he retires. While younger riders may have been afraid...

You're right, nothing new to people here. Was just surprised and horrified to see the public spouting the same nonsense we had in the lance years. Set me off. I don't even know why I care.

Can somebody explain the Horner defenders? It's Lance all over again. "Show me where/how Horner doped", "Horner's worked hard his entire career to get to this point!", "He was well-rested!", etc. "Biological passport"! is the new "Passed 500 tests!". These f'n true believers. Did you learn...

Oh good Aleajactaest, you're back. This is a quote from what you wrote earlier in the thread about the Travis Tygart interview. I asked previously about this but you didn't give a response. Here's another chance. Why did you claim Travis Tygart said that? Please explain because 1.) there...

Why did you claim Travis Tygart said that? Please explain because 1.) there is nothing in the transcript to support that and 2.) Tygart has repeatedly said elsewhere he knows that doping was prevalent in the sport.

Would be interesting to hear what powerful figure - most likely a high-ranking government official - told him to kill the investigation. And whoever that person is, he or she is probably kicking himself/herself for pulling strings for Armstrong. Who has the power to get a US Attorney to...

There are probably people on this board with hands-on experience who could describe it better but... If one is managing accounts for multiple clients one isn't necessarily going to login to each client's account and make the trade directly from that account. That could be a headache during a...

I doubt that was a normal account. I.e., the kind that has a chance of losing money. At market close, when trades for the day were getting assigned to different accounts I'd bet Hein's account got a disproportionate amount of the winning ones. I would almost be willing to bet the returns Hein...

From Reddit, http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/16q03f/greg_from_work_said_photoshopping_lance_armstrong/

His record - which was achieved through massive amounts of cheating - can not be used as evidence that he trained the hardest. This is such obviously faulty logic. If somebody cheats and wins a race, there's no way one can say that person won because he trained the hardest. Even if he hadn't...

You state this with such conviction. How do you know this?

You really didn't put any thought into this, did you? The result of a policy like that would obviously be nobody admits and the house stays filthy. I guess for Lance lovers like yourself that would have been a good outcome - just keep on living in a little dream world. Cover your eyes and ears...

So is the system going to start retaliating against those that helped expose it? Will be very interesting to see things like this happening to those who spoke to USADA next season. It is going to be ugly.

Any ideas of the reaction in France? Italy? Spain? Belgium? Netherlands? Germany?
