LA next in line

you are not their accountant and so you do not know how the proceeds of bike sales were distributed or in which jurisdiction. You also do not know if there is a money trail to dope dealers. You are quite simply inferring, behaving as a rumor monger in the process. The reason we are waiting 15...

depends where the proceeds show up in their accounts. Many or maybe all teams will sell bikes outwith the jurisdiction they're domiciled in...so storm in a tea cup velodude. Who knows if the proceeds aren't shared out as part of the riders salary or used to pay other bills?

But Landis made allegations about 2004-2005

what else do they do with the bikes? Use them again next season?

let's see how LAs accountants and lawyers explain that away. Selling bikes is certainly normal practice for any team. How that money was then used or accounted for is key. What year did Trek ask for bikes to be passed on to junior teams?

I do admit the chances of indictment are high, but it has taken so long since the Grand jury started in June 2010...nothing served by October would be highly suspect. Here is an example of the odds which Lance has to know-which would worry me sick if were him Fiscal Year 1994 through 1998...

Very true . A federal grand jury normally sits for no more than 18 months but it can be extended in 6 month increments for up to 36 months..with a bit of luck we might know by November as that would be the the end of the 18 months since May/June 2010 when the jury started.

Maybe..maybe not. But some were in the room and might say they saw nothing. Is he being prosecuted in Europe at the moment? The indictments come from the grand jury in the USA, don't they?

Why should a grand jury only believe people who said LA doped. And indictments are decided by a grand jury in the USA, aren't hey?

the grand jury decides and that is the cornerstone of the legal system. They need 16 votes of 23 to indict. Multiple witnesses might have gone in and said they saw nothing. So it isn't clear how this will go...you just are so worked up about it you can't let that possibility enter your mind

no, just do the chances of conviction justify the budget is what the feds will ask and be asked whether people like you like it or not. The grand jury may have finished it's work and be going no further. We don't get informed by a grand jury that they didn't go ahead. Do you? And only a grand...

unless you are working with or in the authorities that are investigating Armstrong, how could you possibly know if the less than impressive results of the prosecution of Bonds and Clemens haven't caused budgetary concerns to be raised? I am sure the feds have to justify their budget to someone...

The Clemens mistrial and the mistrial on the three counts of perjury and alleged use of performance-enhancing substances by bonds were a blow to the feds. This will deter them from pursuing LA on he said she said standards of evidence

This TDF is cleanish and you will see it on Friday...not one rider will break 40 minutes on Alpe D'huez...if anyone freak goes sub 40, test them night and day
