What does the Cancer Shield look like?

It only now looking back you can see what a woefully distasteful commercial this is; I'm really not sure how he went to sleep at night making this advertisment.

The promotion that his comeback was all for "Free" and that it was to raise awareness whereas really it was about earning some solid appearance fees and making deals for the .com

I'm sure the FBI/IRS are doing wonderful job untangling all of this deceit.

That must be why it is taking so long. Must be.
These things take time you know.

They don't take any time when there is nothing to find. But you keep whistling in the dark.

It's interesting to note that people with the exact same screen names or ones oddly similar to the people here are saying the exact same things (Armstrong is the most evil person in the world, insulting and personally attacking anyone who does not believe the same things they do and posting the same types of statements that they rip others for) on just about every major cycling forum.

Just an observation from someone who believes Armstrong doped, but knows that I will get attacks and insulted for saying anything that could be considered not falling perfectly in step.

No doubt you can list and link examples. I have yet to see any post claiming Armstrong to be evil on here. But no doubt you can provide a link?

I have yet to see a post saying Armstrong is the most evil person in the world....but I see many claiming he has special powers and is above question.

Everyone knows that the most evil person in the world is Dr. Evil himself.

They don't take any time when there is nothing to find.

But if they DO spend time and money when there is nothing to find, it is defined as a "waste of taxpayer money". Or a "witch hunt". "Smearjob".

"Lets send some special agents to Aspen to check out that Cache Cache cusuine".

But I appreciate the wisdom and control involved when it come to cutting your losses. It would have been a monumental waste if they continued on and on and on. Don't need a monumental waste. Nope.

And anyway, the only monument for Lance should be placed on the slopes of Sestriere.

When Armstrong goes to prison CN will report that the message and behavior of Armstrong is criminal but that Armstrong himself is not.

Got it!

My viewpoint happens to be that those who ignore mountains of circumstantial and physical evidence are delusional. This delusional behavior and opinions expressed by users has become part of the message.

Communicating propaganda to "users" here has been part of the strategy of the guilty party. There is mountains of evidence of this PR propaganda campaign which cyclingnews is apparently willfully ignorant of, because the people behind the site have monetary concerns perhaps?

it will be reported like this only in the forum :S

Oh! I'm sure that's right!

We recently had a debate in the U.S. concerning those who live in the reality based world and those who don't.

Armstrong has said on many occasions that he's not a crook so therefore....

All is well for Armstrong.

All is well for Armstrong. A man who left one wife who had cancer and asked a second for an open marriage is surging in the polls. Life is over as we know it.

It seems spin is not limited to doped up cyclists

CNN Exclusive: Newly recovered court files cast doubt on Gingrich version of first divorce

As reported by L.H. Carter, his campaign treasurer, Newt said of Jacqueline: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."

Maybe Wonderboy does have a future in politics....

I would have preferred Dylan, but he never sang about it.

I am thinking a monument like the one they built for Saddam. All hollow and able to be brought down with a chain so his newly angry former fans can smack the head with the bottoms of their shoes and smite him with much wailing and righteous anger.

But I don't think he deserves to be hanged or to get the Gaddafi treatment. He just defrauded millions and made himself the the biggest sporting fraud in history. That isn't as bad as political murder and rape. Nowhere near as bad.

It's all about perspective.

Stop with the US political stuff. There is a thread for that in the cafe.

Should this nit-picking discussion be moved to somewhere more appropriate? Please?

My original response to this was deleted. I guess because your post is full of relevant content and mine was just a troll? But that isn't your fault.

ANYWAY, yea, I am sure you're right. The investigation continues so they don't have to admit they never had anything in the first place and this was all just smoke and mirrors. Just a figment of someone's imagination.

It's all over actually. They dismissed the GJ and quietly sulked away to a bar where they drank themselves stupid because of all the work they didn't do. Poutty face.
