I think team Pharmstrong is going to work for a plea bargain. If they are smart, they'll limit their losses and take a couple of hits to the myth in exchange for keeping information gathered in the case from going public.

It takes two parties to cop a plea.

What if Navitzky's not up for negotiations?

Lance's legal team is getting pounded.The feds are going to nurse every dollar and public opinion tear out of every sorry Floyd lover. Why would they want to stop the leaks? Why would they limit what Landick and his pals say to ABC news team doing a behind the scenes while Floyd flounders on some borrowed bicycle? I will bet that it's not 2 minutes into the personal interest story that they show the difference between how Lance is treated compared to Landis. Leaking is profitable. If I was working for the FDA I would ask for a delay while the pan of crap Landis has cooking explodes into a jiffy pop mess. The race promoter says he is worried that flaky Floyd won't show at Cascade after he bailed on a previous commitment. Rather than show what Lance and Landis have in common I hope ABC goes into what sad Chad Gerlach and and Floyd have in common. They should do a made for TV movie about the life of disgraced doped domestiques. Bahati may not know it but flushing Floyd down the toilet was a godsend .

Lance must be wondering at this point why he didnt just pay Floyd off when he was being difficult or give him whatever else he wanted when he was threatening to expose him. Why didnt he? He stood up to him and now he's going to be dragged the the mud in a Federal investigation. lol ....

I think Landis has dust not dirt on Lance. If you read the Bahati quotes he didn't think Landis was going to go headhunting in the US,Australia,France and Belgium.Now Bahati has no team and no work..another cancer story..just this time Landis is it. This the last ditch effort for Floyd to feel important. Being turned down for a job by Teams Armstrong was probably pretty hurtful to Floyd I hope that he doesn't hold a grudge when some of these guys come looking for him...he may have cried out right at the right time.Lance done,George done..Zabriski..should be done even if Landis keeps earning his keep at office park crits the chance of one of these guys giving him a gravel nap is remote. Sometime soon a SRAM RD mounted on a Madone will be all tangled up in Landis's front wheel

I've never understood that. A lot of people viewed Floyd as a ticking time bomb. At least give him a job at the Mellow Johnny's coffee shop.

Wow, you fanboys are a sad, sad lot these days. You want some cheese with that whine? I feel certain I have a new object of desire for you: Andy Schleck. He loves to whine...why, it is a match made in heaven.

Funny, without the dope, The Uniballer has proven he probably couldn't hang with Floyd now. Maybe he would have been smart to hire him so he wouldn't have to listen to Jani's broken English all this time...

I think that performing persecution would be outlawed. One lawyer acting for defence and prosecution at the same time, on the same case, should never happen!

To me it has not as much to do with Pharmstrong as it does that Landis is a complete chump. He lies,races like shhit,ruined another team due to his antics.Landis's contribution to bike racing should be his equipment..give it to some kid and get a job at Arby's already. He now levels a list of charges from 10 years ago and is going to get his burning question answered..what happened to the sold bike cash? All will be answered and lots of the answers are going to be as dumb as the questions. Lawyers that have hunted war criminals are going to go away knowing that the world doesn't give a steamy load about this. You may have never trained a dog but sticking his nose in a 10 year old pile is confusing for the dog as well as the person training him. The punishment is out of context. Armstrong a saint? NFW..but looking through crap from 10 years ago is petty at best. Landis came to race again this week he beat a couple of riders from H&R Block that was impressive while a neo Lance rocket lit up the field. I hope ABC news takes not that Lance sent a kid to handle his light work

That article makes Novitzky sound like The Terminator.

this will make the investigation get real hard and make sure they have done their homework on this one...

LA is better off getting his bottom into Novitsky and blabbing the truth like a baby and he may have some kind of life after when says sorry. But this route of hardball is gonna make it worse for him in the end...

Edit: the hate from the Fanboys is quite strong, if i was Uniballer i would be worried that some of those gun hoe fanyboytexans don't take it out on the ol Uniballer when he gets done by Novitsky...

lol. nice rant

but i think all this reflects the mere fact that anti-doping measures in cycling are a farce. that the government is going to bust Lance for spending public money on dope (a petty crime, really) before the sport is going to punish him for being perpetual cheat just shows that the government takes its job seriously whilst the administrators of cycling do not! does anybody really doubt that the heads of this pharmaceutical experiment that we call professional cycling do not *want* this investigation to go ahead? there's going to be some rough moments when phil-the-fool Ligget has to front a camera and explain to everyone that those 7 years they sold us were all a sham. can't wait.

This post baffles me. Are you saying that pro cyclists like Armstrong have the memory of a dog? Or are you saying that no one really cares about sporting fraud?

You've hit on the key reason why this needs to be investigated right there.

Most people, including me, are looking at the Livestrong kids with suspicion. And not even what they're doing now, but what they'll do when they "get to the next level". When Taylor Phinney suddenly is able to climb, there are going to be a lot of questions.

This "it's in the past" BS is just that, BS. What about the "ancient history" of the team's transfusions kits (last year??).

Total BS. I can appreciate not caring for Floyd. Personally, I knew he was transfusing all along, just like I knew all along that some of what he said was true about a certain rider, so I tend to believe him. But whatever you think of him, and whatever his motivations, what he's attempting to expose needs to be exposed.

I'll say that overwhelmingly, the response among the riders yesterday was pretty positive. I took the time to thank him myself.

That's very good to hear. Fatandfast's threats of physical violence toward Floyd (i.e. insinuation that someone will crash him) are pretty scary. It sounds like he really doesn't know much of anything about the sport so I highly doubt Fatty would be able to step into a Pro/1/2 race with Floyd and carry out his threat personally, but it's still sad and scary that "fans" of our sport think it's okay to threaten to purposely crash someone. It's dangerous enough without thugs in the peloton out there.

I think he's saying that lawyers who hunt war criminals shouldn't train 10-year old dogs.

Or something like that . . .

Fast: "looking at crap from 10 years ago is petty at best."
McQuaid: "I believe that it's up to the authorities and the scientific community to catch these guys while they're doing it,” he added. “Re-opening things from the past and spending a lot of time and a lot of money isn't the answer."

In unison they would sound something like "I can't see it in front of me right this minute, so no way could it actually be a problem."
