I wish journalists would quit the "disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong" for something like "drug cheat and bully Lance Armstrong." "Disgraced cyclist" sounds like someone who deserves pity. Along the same lines, it's interesting how Lance's "I only told one lie" crap is gaining traction. I...

Lie detectors are very flawed indicators (although they do help scientologists get in touch with Zenu.) But still, you have to respect the guy for trying. What else can he do? 24/7 webcam?

I'm pretty sure the only thing in the dossier is a photo of Pat's face in Lance's derriere. It can't be made public because of the long line of cycling professionals behind Pat waiting for a round.

When you intimidate and/or ban everybody with an alternate view, things can get pretty quiet.

Coyle thinks people will eventually forget about that paper and remember the good stuff he did.

In defense of cycling news, they have turned "sitting at a computer and waiting for something to show up on google" into a highly refined skill. They were among the first journalists to realize that anyone out pounding the pavement risks missing a key search result. Surely people in...

Huh? Ashenden is unemployed and he uses a very unexceptional scientific background to seek out publicity and push an agenda. If he has helped cycling, thats awesome, but I expect his celebrity reign will come to an embarassing end at some point. He makes me cringe because there are so many...

Letting people who destroyed a sport off the hook and using words like "truth" and "reconciliation" to describe it is hilarious. How about a "Crime and Punishment" committee?

I'd love to hear Tygarts answer to this question about ciritcal juncture -- i.e. to know exactly why he didn't drop the ball like Birotte et al. For me the 2005 Lequipe article about the 1999 samples is where the Armstrong allegations gained critical mass.

Greg Lemond knows nothing about Africa? http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/mcquaid-dismisses-populist-challenge-218040.html

Reminds me of Citizen Kane, dying alone in a big house filled with crap.

Unfortunately the FDA has a number of arguably more important public heath issues to deal with. And Birotte's office probably has no shortage of cases either. I don't know if going after any sports doping ever made logical sense, although I'm glad Novitsky pursued it.

Wiggo is a bit hard to follow, but... I think he's trying to say he'd trade his EPO for a shot at Hervé Bombrun's wife.

If Lance is concerned about his kids and family, I would guess that he cares about how he is ultimately percieved. He can spin "ringleader of giant doping operation" into "victim of corrupt system" simply by presenting evidence against the UCI.
