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

    Then Gov. Ritter and Lance co announced the big Colorado race in 2010. Friends for life after that? http://www.bikerumor.com/2010/08/04/gov-ritter-and-lance-armstrong-announce-the-quiznos-pro-challenge/

    The fun begins - SCA now asking for money back...

    The main simple one in Texas is your home. Up to 10 acres, the home, the pool, etc. Exempt from Bankruptcy at least.

    Is the Tour De France impossible to win without using performance enhancing drugs ?

    And if they write the thread title just right, they get a bonus cookie to go with their intern t-shirt.

    Perhaps Lance isn't the full employment for lawyers program after all. Luskin's firm to discuss the layoffs of some partners and small folk tomorrow. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/d-c-law-firm-patton-002722721.html

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

    Looks like the money's there to pay if Floyd wins. See "Armstrong's cheating won record riches of more than 218 million" Bloomberg story below. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-20/armstrong-s-cheating-won-record-riches-of-more-than-218-million.html

    Spin's all they've got left. Otherwise they'd say something like "we had no idea Lance was under investigation by the DOJ. So we thought we were negotiating sincerely with USADA for more time. The day they gave us more time DOJ said Lance is under investigation for obstruction of justice...

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

    "for several reasons" likely hides the reality that he can't speak to anyone under oath while the DOJ has an open investigation with him as the target. The rest looks to be Tim channeling Fabiani.

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

    Anyone know whether "obstruction of justice" does/doesn't cover trying to scare off investigators by indicating you'll destroy them/their livelihood if they continue a current investigation?

    Last day is tomorrow. Any private jets between Austin and the Springs today? It'd be a lot of hours, need both these last two days....

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    No, it just presupposes that the subject of the investigation will try to get USADA to talk to DOJ if USADA "wants information on evil at the highest levels of the sport". USADA will relay something about that to DOJ, DOJ will, likely, say "stand down", and everything will go onto extended...

    Your cooperation with _____ will be included in the factors we consider for the terms of any plea agreement. Now move along. Something like this, stated, not written, perhaps?

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    Right, that's why the deal would have to be between DOJ and USADA. Now that's not likely either for all kinds of reasons, but surely Wonderboy's team of highly paid advisers will have recognized a chance to gum up the works more by trying to force the enforcers to negotiate amongst themselves...

    Sorry USADA, can't talk unless DOJ says it won't use anything I say against me. Now go talk to DOJ on my behalf and get me a get out of jail free card. Otherwise cycling crumbles, big fish go free - and that's on both your hands. Oh, and hurry, you only have two more days.

    Clock ticking as Feb 20 deadline w USADA approaches... a bit too quiet in the LA camp... hmmm.

    Correct - There really is no comparison. One could credibly try to start an entirely new break away pro cycling league for less than the contract value of most starting NFL quarterbacks. Talented managers and marketers flow to the money.
