The ration (sic) of these fibers within a certain individual are determined by their genetics and cannot be changed. In other words, an athlete plays with the hand they are dealt. Not according to a study carried out by Dr. Edward F Coyle publishedin 2005 titled "Improved muscular efficiency...

Dave: Have not you heard of Joachim's Razor? :)

South Australian government is on the band wagon. Asking for their TDU money back. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cycling/sa-to-ask-armstrong-for-its-money-back-20130115-2cr24.html

It is not going to be a tell all honest book. He is hamstrung. The content must be consistent with his Arbitration defense and testimony under oath. Unless he folds before the Hearing.

Using his body as a chemical factory for all those years does not bode well for healthy longevity. A lot of very sick ex cyclists out there.

From NY Times article: I predict the Lance "confession", if it happens, will be limited to the minimum to return him to the fold with his non cycling public and sponsors so as to re-generate income flow. To satisfy the Code he would have to throw UCI, Hein and Patty under a bus as they...

The soft interview of McQuaid by a tame and uninformed Irish journalist recently was for Irish home consumption. It was electioneering on the stump as McQuaid's major problem for re-election is to obtain Irish nomination. From Irish Herald - Cycling: McQuaid in a dogfight

It was the England & Wales High Court in London and all actions relating to that case would be commenced in that Court making reference to the same file. The same judge would preside and if the Times was successful that judge would be under a judicial obligation to refer that matter arising...

Mr. Armstrong's case must be set out in his Statement of Claim. The Claimant, Armstrong, in his SOC has to fully establish his case for the Times and others to answer to is required, by Court rules, to set out the particulars he relies on in his claim. If he did not follow these rules any...

No witness statements have been published which suggests Armstrong has taken the available procedures with the Court to restrict file access to parties only. I would consider the senior counsel briefed by the Times would be confident that there exists in Armstrong's sworn statements words to...

You obviously have not read thelinked BBC articlethat raised this issue a couple of pages back: Each side in UK civil cases are required to present their evidence by way of affidavit. As Mr Armstrong was the Claimant he would have been required to produce an affidavit in support of his claim...

Your claims and my comments: Usually? But in numerous cases they are pursued. For instance, suggest you acquaint yourself with the case of Jonathon Aitken (former MP) who sued the Guardian for libel (a la Armstrong). His case collapsed when he swore false evidence concerning the payment of a...
