In Latin, I say:
Ceterum censeo Pharmastrum esse delendam
Which in English is:
Furthermore, I think Pharmastrong must be destroyed
The history behind that phrase is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthago_delenda_est

Dr. Maserati said:Fabiani will have to update the lie4lance website and include Hincapie as a fat drunk bitter obsessed rider who at the end of his career has a clothing business and is probably writing a book.
Oldman said:He can cut a deal as long as he'll give up the deal planners in all of this. That can mean USAC, Weisel and influence buying in the UCI. At this point all we're talking about is drugs. The reality is that other elements of financial fraud, tax improprieties related to his foundation, etc are a much bigger deal than him taking drugs. Legally the PED use is a rather two-bit misdemeanor in the grand scheme of things. Once you take the possibility of all the things bearing down on him he's just feeling the burners turn on the pot he's in. I doubt those close to him want to admit just how bad it will be because they are also cutting deals or packing their bags.

Are you saying George is lying?
I heard George flushed his GJ Subpoena down the toilet.
Just to spite Novitsky lol.
Maybe for a huge chunk of cash, like repaying the whole USPS sponsoring and costs of the investigation...isn't he supposed to be worth $125 million? How he amassed that is beyond me, but that's what I heard/read.TheMight said:Has his foundation been at all implicated? There are definitely tax issues with selling bikes to raise money for drugs and stuff like that. I'm not Lance defender but I haven't heard anything to suggest livestrong is corrupt.
Lance is the big fish here. The "planners" are going to give him up, the trap is set. If USAC or Thom Wiesel were not thinking about it, they are now, they'll give him up in a heart beat. Even if by some chance he wasn't the master mind or in on it, he's the one they are asking about, he's the one the other riders are throwing under the bus, he's the one that called the shots for the team, he's the one that owned part of the team, he's the one that intimidated other riders in a race. I just can't think of anyone bigger he could hand over and he'd need some hard core evidence, documents, recordings, etc.
And he's shown so much contempt for it all, every step of the way, who'd make a deal with him for nobody?

George spilled the beans, Kevin folded like a cheap suit and Lim talked about pictures of refrigerated panniers. The Feds are having no problem getting what they need.
Race Radio said:The bigger question is not if Armstrong will do jail time but which one of his inner circle will flip?
George and Kevin have already talked. I don't see Stapleton or College saying anything.....but Knaggs? Bart has a family. No way he is going to jail for Wonderboy.
"George Hincapie’s now former lawyer Zia F. Modabber told the Wall Street Journal last year that he had spoken to Novitzky on behalf of his client. At the time he refused to comment on the reports that Hincapie would speak directly with Novitzky after the Tour de France in 2010."

auscyclefan94 said:Former pro cyclist, is a cycling presenter, commentator in a australia and won a stage of the giro.
Most of all he's an A-Grade tool!
MarkvW said:How many HUNDRED times has George been tested? I rest my case.
No tweet, but his creepy lawyer said that they didn't comment on GJ testimonies as they weren't there when they were made, or something like that...Iker_Baqueiro said:Wow !!! Pharmastrong has not said anything against his brother (read Hincapie) on twitter !!!
I guess, he is still digesting the coup de grâce !!!![]()
