Looking forward to the egg on the face of Armstrong when Tygart shows the evidence of a donation.

Bet Oprah is going to be upset with Armstrong when the she and her teams reads all the lies Armstrong pulled on her.

He wont get another go on Oprah. He blew it. He could've made a powerful TV/Hollywood ally with her for the future.

Yes, this will be interesting. I doubt that she'll care much - but it will tar him unreliable for future media engagements. Given the way he handled it, this was probably his last ever serious throw.

Smart move Lance. Call the guy who holds the key to you ever being able to race again a liar.

There are multiple witnesses to the donation offer. It was not just Travis.

That is why it makes no sense for LA to deny it if it was true. There was no downside to admitting it.

They have to prove the offer came from someone actually representing Armstrong, Rather than pretending to be,or the media sting is entirely plausible..

Don't know how many you get in the US - over here in UK there is a high profile sports sting pretty much every year. Last year in a sting they managed to pose as football club buyers buying a premier league soccer club and breaking all manner of rules to do it, implicating that a lot of high profile figures were willing to get involved for a fee, including recordings implicating Alex Fergusson of Man Utd - they do not come much bigger than that. in the UK he is every bit as high profile as LA was in the US

If media was convinced that Armstrong had protectors in federations, it is clearly not beyond these people to try a sting aimed at getting them to accept money.When they refused, it was game off. there must be a lot of failed stimgs.

Lance has now demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that he is a habitual liar.

He repeated some old lies, enhanced others, and gave us a whole new batch.

It is just habit.

He hates pretty much everyone. He hates Tygart. He hates that Tygart wouldn't go for the offer Lance just floated. All that hate, and Lance couldn't help himself.

There was absolutely no reason to include the 'donation' in the Reasoned Decision. It appears to have been a stand-alone incident, as opposed to being directly linked with a specific doping activity. While it confirms Lance's behavior, it wasn't important enough to make the final edit.

Now that Lance has tried to admit the truth, all the lies start to unravel.

The new lies merely confirm that he wasn't sincere about telling the truth.

No surprise there. He is what he is. And that is a liar with shallow effect and no sense of remorse.

Dave.

If you care to read the Article on the Interview with the former CEO of USADA, you''ll find out that USADA know who made the offer. They won't out him now because he is implicated in the Whistle blower case. It may come out during the trial.

And also, you should have understood by now, that sociopaths' make no sense in their actions.
