Banesto rose from the ashes of what was the Reynolds team in the 80s -- the same Reynolds team of Delgado, who tested positive for a banned substance on the Olympic list but not the Tour list in 1988. I would think it more than likely that the team had a doping program long before Davy was on...

Indeed, but if Armstrong takes the 5th, he's totally done. If he doesn't continue singing the same tune, his image would be shattered and no one would continue to stand by him He has stated with no uncertainty that he has never doped. Never. Not once. With an ego like his, I think he's...

IMO, and I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, it may be more likely that they would try to put Armstrong under oath again, and ask him about that testimony as well as all of the new allegations. It's the lying that will get thrown in jail, or perhaps he'll finally tell the truth.
