Then Armstrong may take out a loan from Floyd to pay all his debts.TourOfSardinia said:up to 25% of damages in settled case, INAL
Wiesel is very likely the main target in this issue. A major political manipulator and sketchy IPO shill; he's made some powerful enemies and he'll find out how much payback can be a b*tch!BroDeal said:At the very least Armstrong will be forced to spend a lot of money an lawyers.

The interesting thing is what Wiesel will do. He may not want the issue delved into too much. Maybe he will push to settle the matter. He has the bucks to do it.
But slow there Pedro....Don't be late Pedro said:US government to sue disgraced cyclist
The US government has joined a lawsuit against Lance Armstrong after talks with his lawyers broke down.
The suit argues Armstrong defrauded the American public by insisting he was not using drugs while riding for the publicly funded US Postal Service team.

As much as I liked him as a rider, his history with finances are not the best, he should place any money he gets in a living trust ASAP.HL2037 said:It's wonderfull. I would really really like for Floyd to live happily ever after, that would warm my black heart.

"A decision by the Justice Department to join the case “in order to get to the bottom (or top) of this massive fraud would also be viewed by the press and public as necessary and legitimate,” the letter said."

As long as he really does return the cash to those who donated to the FFF first like he promised, sure. Be nice if he also did a personal buy back of copies of Positively False, but it's still not a bad read as fiction.HL2037 said:It's wonderful.

Is it going to be that easy? Is the government going to settle on a defraud case that would cost as much as 100 million for a few millions? Didn't Armstrong try to settle this with 5 million but got turned down?BroDeal said:At the very least Armstrong will be forced to spend a lot of money an lawyers.

It must have been difficult for the one honest man in the federal government to defeat all the corrupt feds and get that case filed!BroDeal said:Man walks on moon.

C'mon Alpe. The New England weather must still have you a bit disoriented.Alpe d'Huez said:As long as he really does return the cash to those who donated to the FFF first like he promised, sure.

When this is done I might post the picture of the lawyer guy helping Floyd on this case; if he agrees. He's a good dude, Masters rider that believed that Floyd really wanted to pay back. "So listen, Floyd....ever thought about helping the guv'mint get that money back? Might be a little pay for you, too..." PS: he offerred to do it for free.Granville57 said:C'mon Alpe.

Floyd did more than just "promise" to pay back his "donors." He's legally bound to do just that. Of course the real contributors will likely never come a-knockin'. The less attention they receive in this sordid tale the better (for them).
RE: Positively False.
My signed copy just went up in value. No way Floyd is getting that one back.
I hear Lance is going to admit he doped to Oprah sometime real soon.MarkvW said:The feds took the case.
Ok, good for the link you found.Aleajactaest said:I'm not supposed to continue this discussion per one of the other mods. However, I can't get to the original NYT article, it appears to be too old to appear in search results..
There, however, numerous articles that say he used EPO and confessed in an interview with the NYT in 2006.
Here is one of many with that statement.

BTW, if we're going to start having the mods enforce this citation issue,it needs to cover every assertion. Not just the ones people don't like.
They'll run USAC from prison. The members won't care. In fact, they can't vote, so even if they cared, Wiesel's still in charge even from the cell block.Moose McKnuckles said:Bricks are being shat by the dozens at USA Cycling.
