Armstrong's Options

If we're to talk greatest American cyclist, I'll agree with the 'road' distinction, because it's hard to argue against Major Taylor

Great juxtaposition!

Right up there with the tornado scene from 'Wizard of Oz' + 'Great Gig in the Sky' from DSotM!

Where now?

I was just wondering about what people think on what Armstrong will do if he is indicted. It's interesting to read the snippets on here from the likes of race radio and the hog, about other teammates to the ones we know, testifying that lance doped (levi, van de velde etc).

Surely Lance can't continue to deny? Personally, I don't think he will EVER admit to doping, and I think Lance and his PR team (Fabiani) will say something like 'the feds promised them immunity for their misdemeanours to testify against armstrong. Witch hunt etc.'

The two reasons I can see this running and running are:

1. Lance Armstrong has vehemently denied doping to the point where he would be shown up for what he is if he admitted his lies: a disgrace.

2. I read a link off here that LA has hired a lawyer who specialised in ensuring that past urine samples couldn't be used without the defendants permission. That says one thing to me; that Armstrong is settling himself in for the long haul.

If it is true that LA is planning to push this to a jury, is it simply a case that LA is being naive about the amount of evidence the feds have? I know that this case is not about doping, but for me, I feel it is really important that people realise that he is a fake.

Go easy on me, it's my first post!

OJ Simpson! I reckon LA thinks he can pull an OJ and be acquitted. Also consider the puppet master behind LA is Wiesel and he has a lot of $$$$$ to lose on this so it will be dragged out as long as possible.

I don't think it gets dragged out. The other big person behind the curtain might be some Kazakh oil Oligarch financing some other shady operation. If I was Lance I'd be more afraid of those folks than Novitsky.

He gets "an offer he can't refuse." I like the drama.

But not sure why they would care, it's history and they got what they paid for.

Is anyone familiar with the Kazakh honor code?

If honor were an issue, Vinokourov would be wearing concrete galoshes.

But perhaps you are inferring that LA might give up the 'source' to save his own neck? Adds some tension to the 'who to throw under the bus' debate....

I wouldn't compare this with OJ at all. It was obvious to all?, that OJ was guilty however the prosecution and police were so inept in their job there was no other way to vote but not guilty based on that solely.
Novi is not Marsha CLark and not Mark Fuhrman. Those two totally botched the slam dunk case of the century and should be ridiculed for the rest of their life for that mess. They should be ashamed.
