You're both wrong. In order for the AUSA to prove fraud, he would have to show the money was not going to Floyd's defense. He would have to show the money was going to pay off lavish parties or vacations. Whether or not Floyd was actually innocent is legally irrelevant.
Please don't make...
It doesn't matter that Floyd was not being honest in his innocence. That cannot be the basis upon which a fraud charge can be leveled. In order to charge Floyd with fraud, you'd have to show the money was diverted for some other purpose other than his defense (i.e. like to pay his mortgage or...
Dumb dumb. I'm sure the lawyers got paid. And I'm sure they cost a lot. And I'm sure that most if not all of the money went towards the defense because at the time, if you recall, Floyd and his team of jackoff sycophants which included just about everyone actually thought they could beat the...
Floyd won't be indicted. There was no fraud. The money was used for the purpose he specified: his defense. Floyd didn't even control the money. Whether or not he was actually innocent to the underlying charges is irrelevant. Besides it was called the Floyd Fairness Fund, not the Floyd...
Yes, I'm sure Bjarne Riis will win his case. But the more important question is how come a guy who was handed a 2 year suspension only sits out a single half season of racing and never had any of his UCI points docked in a way that impacted his team's ability to secure a Pro Tour license?
Nice standard: "if it upsets people, I will close the thread." Okay, mommy, thanks for protecting us from those big bad words and ideas. What kind of crap European thinking is this?
Guess what... Don't worry about whether discussions hurt people. We don't need you to be the feelings...
Where does it say that?
Where does it say in the article that "Floyd is to be charged with fraud?" All I see is a reference to a grand jury investigation? In case you haven't heard, convening a grand jury does not always result in the filing of charges.
The UCI ranking system is flawed since it merges flat road races with hilly stage races. Guys like Cavendish and Contador are ranked against each other despite the fact they are two completely different type of racers. The UCI's ranking system is about as intelligent in design as the sport...

So let me see if I can get this marketing campaign straight...if you eat Grape Nuts, you too can fail to qualify for a medal at the world championships and barely finish ahead of Belarus in the team pursuit only 4 months...
They never lied to the feds and none of them will be "taken down" by the feds. Lance is the only one who led to the public and he never spoke to the feds because he lawyered up. Lance did commit perjury in his SCA depositions though.
Wrong. The fruits of Novitzky's investigation can still be used to bring a case against Lance through USADA. Plus, the leaks from the investigation lead to the 60 Minutes exposé which clearly established that Lance was a major doper throughout his pro career.
The investigation also...
I've studied a book that spends a few chapters on crank arm length by Ed Burke called The Science of Cycling and your understanding of crank arm length is completely flawed.
The reason why crank arms are longer than you think they should be is because longer crank arms allow for LESS power...
