Aye, trolling it may be, and definitely off topic. I do have to wonder why The Handbag Ladies have to turn every thread into an LA thread. Quite possibly since there have been no facts for a while, some get bored, etc.

Perhaps the mods would like to take a Hoover in hand and tidy up the thread, and that would include this post.

Because it's not about the bike.

Maybe now they will ask Floyd to demonstrate some of his favorite stretches and 15- minute workouts too. I'm sure he also has some recipes that would be great for cycling nutrition. That would be nice.

"No winners" must mean that Floyd's qui tam action has died a quiet death?

Floyd in court tomorrow

 

[Merckx index]

Armstrong has since been charged with doping by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and faces an 11 p.m. Thursday deadline to formally challenge the allegations or accept sanctions that likely would mean a lifetime ban. Armstrong’s lawsuit in federal court against the agency’s jurisdiction was dismissed on Monday.

Central time? Midnight EST?

Some quotes from Floyd here: http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=8297769

One word comes to mind on the charges: Bull****.

Just make you realise how strong he was to confess.

"I'm glad to have a concrete procedure for repayment in place," Landis told ESPN.com on Thursday. "For me, taking the step of making restitution to the donors who were misled back then is one more step in righting the wrong choices I made and allows me to turn the page and to focus on what's next in life for me.

"I can never undo what happened, but to the extent that there are ways such as this that I can try to rectify things, I'll be more able to focus on the future and living an honest life after having done them."

Why, exactly, are the charges (and it's actually just a single count) Bull****?

 

[BroDeal]

How will he pay back $300-500K? What happens if he makes a diligent effort but in three years comes up short? Can he get an extension?

Can I donate to help?

Too bad it took the filing of criminal charges to get "a concrete procedure for repayment in place."

But I'm glad Floyd's on the road to paying people back. And I'm glad it's a deferred prosecution, too.

Next stop Lance and him paying back his long list of victims.

I hope he'll be honest tonight. I doubt it.

Looks like the rest will have to go to court to extract out Armstrong what he stole.

If Landis was smart then for the last two years he should have gotten a job or some other way of making money, even if it was racing for a crap team, and contributed a percentage of his income to repaying the FFF. It would have been smart to show good faith. It looks like he will end up with a decent outcome, but it could have been a lot worse.

it's good that he's finally come to terms with the idea what he did was wrong. many people seemed not to notice, but his first admissions and interviews were almost completely unrepentent. they were done to take revenge on the sport. maybe the way people in the anti antidoping community allowed him the space to think about it has helped him.
