    Al Jazeera investigation into doping (NFL, Manning etc.)

    Re: Re: No one with a legitimate medical disorder would be going to an anti-aging quack. The notion that an elite athlete worth upwards of $100 million (or his wife) would seek out this doc for actual medical treatment (as opposed to an easy scrip for HGH) is laughable. Hopefully, this story...

    Tom Danielson

    From Twitter 1 hour ago: @Vaughters Any news on Danielson's B Test yet JV? It's just that we're all interested to know if it's all just a big mix up. (Reply by Vaughters): don't hold your breath.

    Re: Re: Exactly. With as many warnings as have been issued by WADA and others about supplements (tainted or otherwise) pro athletes are going to be extremely diligent about what they ingest. The fact that TD tweeted about investigating his supplements, rather than just saying "the findings are...

    Re: Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession I guess Lance is still going to every deposition. Still trying to intimidate.

    Correct. The whole "unclean hands" nonsense has absolutely nothing to do with the proceedings going forward. The status of SCA as an unlicensed insurer was brought the forefront long ago, and was a strong incentive for the settlement. While Ted Lyons dissent has some valid points about authority...

    The amount of the sanction was based on the amount SCA paid Armstrong (plus their fees and costs), so I'd be very surprised if SCA is able to also collect on the prize money, and in essence, double-dip, even though sanctions don't equal damages. As the dissenting arbitrator pointed out, the...

    The sanction must be paid in Cache Cache.

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    The arbitration panel's award is 100% based on sanctions. There is no award of actual damages for fraud. The petition filed by SCA today seeks confirmation and enforcement of the sanction award, and this "new" case will be consolidated with the original SCA v. Armstrong case filed in Judge...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    SCA filed a motion last Friday seeking to have the stay partially lifted to allow the deposition of Armstrong to go forward, even if the arbitration proceeding is temporarily stayed pending the appeal. It contends Armstrong failed to offer any evidence how he would be harmed by having the...

    I like it when John Useless says Bauer was the greatest cyclist to come out of North America (instead of Lemond, Hampsten, etc.). At least he didn't say Jonathan Boyer.

    Exchanges like this one during the proceedings probably didn't bolster SCA's confidence: Arbitrator Lyon: Let me take it a little further. Let's assume the subject of the contract is a drug addict, okay? Tillotson: Okay. Arbitrator Lyon: We are not saying that;s the case here. Totally a...

    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    He cannot appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but he can take it up with the Texas Supreme Court, with both the mandamus proceeding and the interlocutory appeal. The question is whether Armstrong can maintain the stay of the arbitration while he goes that road (assuming he doesn't get relief from...
