The tour is a grueling endurance event, but the human body and spirit could do it without dope. Times would be slower, but the drama would still be there. There are other extreme endurance events - there is the deca ironman. And the Marathon Monks of Mount Hiei run 52.5 miles everyday for 100...

If he had stopped at five or six wins, retired for good, treated his previous teammates better, and focused on the cancer charity - he could have been in a different position. But LA overreached and seems to like drama and confrontation.

You bet. I'm expecting some big changes in my life with the Armstrong conviction. I've been working real hard for a promotion over the last 3 years and I think if Lance gets busted on the tax charge, it will put me over the top. And if LA goes down on the drug trafficking charge, it will help...

"The needle broke the skin, but I never pushed the plunger".

I don't think Lance's story will have a happy ending in this area. Actions have consequences. He should be held accountable for any crimes he has committed.

More LA-based rationale. -- Others have done it - its not unique or that bad. (a.k.a The "everybody does it" rationale). -- He was asking for trouble. (aka The "blame the victim" rationale).

I suppose this is the new LA rationale. Others did it so its not unique or really that bad. Others have intimidated witnesses so its not unique or that bad. Others have doped, so its not unique or that bad.

Tyler was participitating with an Outside event. Outside probably picked up the bill and chose the restaurant. I suppose they could have chosen CC to be a little cocky, but I think its a BIG stretch to say attending a restaurant in and of itself is a provocative act. "I think it would be...

Tyler was at an event at Cache Cache with Outside personel. I suppose they could have chosen CC to thumb their nose at Lance and try to provoke him. Yet, based on what I've read, I think thats unlikely. 1) The bar area had several of Lance's friends. Noone has said Tyler tried to provoke...

Unless those words were "my lawyers will destroy you on the witness stand and make your life a living hell".

Gimme a break. The guy is a manipulative, lying, vindictive, narcissistic, cheating doper. I hope he gets held accountable for his past actions. Yet he is a manipulative, lying, cheat with an active schedule. He films commercials, fund raises, bike events etc. It would not surprise me at...

The Feds should be able to determine if Lance changed his plans abruptly. If he got a call from a friend in Aspen, then canceled a flight to Austin to book a new flight to Aspen - well that doesn't look good. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if the Aspen trip was part of his...

I could see your point under certain circumstances. 1) Some security recordings are on a 24hr. cycle and old footage continually gets recorded over. 2) The restaurant may have a regularly scheduled time to delete recordings. In such a case, I can see them saying, "Our records show that over the...
