    Why is Lance Still Racing?

    Lance is still racing because USADA blew it. They underestimated the public, public opinion and they underestimated Armstrong's insanity. Everybody knew Lance wasn't on cookies and Gatorade only. He won 7 TdFs and he delivered spectacular entertainment. Great rider, unparalleled drive and...

    USADA-Armstrong Phase II

    Until the evidence comes OUT, Lance has won. Sad to witness the Clinic VIPs living in and displaying the same denial now, as Armstrong and his fans have for decades in terms of doping. Shape up, guys. Public opinion has surprised me too, but the "pressure" now needs to be put on USADA...

    USADA-Armstrong Phase II

    Neineinei... don't be sorry. Be mad! And I agree with you by the way. Sort of. Oakley announced they are sticking by Lance also now. I mean.. Travis.. get IT out there... On a personal level, if Livestrong implodes, that's where I draw the line. Also, the whole rebuke/comment about...

    USADA-Armstrong Phase II

    Sponsors have issued comments. Nike is sticking by Lance. Michelob is. Trek, obviously. The world is leaning to supporting Armstrong. As I said.. EVERYONE LOSES HERE. Also, faulting Lance that he didn't go to arbitration so the evidence could be provided is mindboggling to me...

    USADA-Armstrong Phase II

    Everyone loses. Armstrong, USADA, UCI, the fans, the critics, the sport of cycling. Only by having the EVIDENCE out in the clear for everyone to see, is this thing over. Lance is receiving more support than I could ever imagine after his annonucement... and this is in Denmark, a cycling...

    USADA - Armstrong

    We have ALL chosen a high profile target, but we lurk in the lair of the Clinic surrounded by fellow denizens, twelve apostles and the odd fanboy. I am not odd! :D So, what are Lance's options here? They can't be that engaging, right? If he proceeds and goes in to arbitration with...

    USADA - Armstrong

    Great posts, Cal Joe. I am all for bringing about the truth, the facts and having the past cleaned up. That includes Lance Armstrong. But your points are spot on. An echo chamber, conspiracy theory and spin central command vs. what is actually happening and what we know so far...

    USADA - Armstrong

    AussieGoddess / Spalco. Thank you. Armstrong was on other things, but he was also on his bike. And he was phenomenal. Anyway... Back to / regarding the USADA case: Did anyone else stop and take a breath when it surfaced about Ferraris alleged special way of taking testo? Via...

    USADA - Armstrong

    Berzin, my post was not an apologist one and I'm sad to hear you think of it as a rant. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough. Or thorough enough. There are numerous reasons why Armstrong has inspired me. But no more than other cheaters also inspire - Maradona (both with dope and with his hand)...

    USADA - Armstrong

    Hello there. Or as Selina Kyle once said by removing the o and the t.. hell here? *smile* I'm a longtime Armstong fan and (I'll be) a lifelong Livestrong supporter. Yet I will use a quote from the wonderful Sam Harris to get to the short and sweet of it all, regarding whether Lance...
