You mean this paragraph?
LANCE Armstrong is a creep. A liar, cheat and a bully. So awful is Armstrong, you are right to question whether all his work for cancer patients is not just calculated camouflage to protect his abuse of drugs, his competitors, teammates and supporters.
Love this comment - the Australian press is going nuts
THE FITZ FILES
TO ALL those who have been firing off angry emails to TFF over the years on the subject of Lance Armstrong and how dare I imply his guilt, I say this: Throw down your weapons and come out with your hands up. We have you surrounded. I repeat: WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED. And with the release of the USADA evidence against him - including emails, records of financial transactions, failed tests, and sworn testimony from 26 witnesses - we have more ammunition than we ever could have imagined.

Armstrong a fraud and frauds can't be heroes. Not now, not ever
BY: PATRICK SMITH From: The Australian October 13, 2012 12:00AM
"LANCE Armstrong is a creep. A liar, cheat and a bully. So awful is Armstrong, you are right to question whether all his work for cancer patients is not just calculated camouflage to protect his abuse of drugs, his competitors, teammates and supporters.
He is not just part of the drug regime that saturated cycling when he was at his peak, but he has been that culture's bodyguard. Its enforcer. And he remains so today, arrogantly dismissing the US Anti-Doping Agency findings by telling the world through Twitter that he was "unaffected" by the release of the 1000-page investigation findings. No one in sport has lived a bigger lie. Tiger Woods led two lives, one in public and one in bedrooms other than his own. But he did not cheat his sport as an athlete. Woods is flawed. Armstrong, who used his bedroom as a blood bank, is a crook."
ABCnews24 is really picking up on the Australian connection now - running a story about GreenEdge saying its DS Matt White has questions to answer.
Matthew Keenan's 2 cents worth (audio interview)

I've seen no evidence that Keenan has ever bagged whistleblowers. He is usually the only commentator who mentions riders previous convictions or involvement in cases. I'd go as far as calling him a journalist (as opposed the the rest of the rha rah squad)M Sport said:
Oh that uk media would ask the questions brailsford has to answer - but distancing of sky from their overwhelming links to this scandal has fe hand of fran all over it.
Like MJM I vividly remember the gushing fanboydom of the guardian & bbc both of whom would block any suggestions that Armstrong wasn't a cancer saint. Unfortunately I see the same old ****e happening again with wiggins & sky & again the serious questions will go unanswered until, 10 years down the line, they'll turn on brailsfordetal for fooling them.

Not sure if this has been posted somewhere yet, but a particularly good SBS podcast this week. Covering the obvious, but also discussion on CSC, the points system, UCI etc. etc.

Milller urges UCI to accept blame.
http://www.independent.ie/sport/oth...accept-blame-over-doping-debacle-3258096.html
"The UCI had all the blood data, the medical reports, it was part of the culture of the sport. In the big races the majority of riders were doing it on drugs. The first step for the UCI is that Verbruggen has to be removed. There is no doubt about that -- Pat McQuaid (Verbruggen's successor) has to distance himself because it was under Verbruggen's presidency that it was at its worst and yet there were all these denials coming from the UCI.
"He was at the head of an organisation with the biggest doping problem in the history of sport. He's still there. He doesn't have to commit hara-kiri, he should just admit that mistakes were made and we have all made mistakes. But the UCI is not a commercial company so there is no one to answer to."
The UCI is facing growing criticism for its handling of the affair. It received the USADA report three days ago and has 21 days to respond, including whether it will ratify USADA's decision to strip Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles. McQuaid defended the governing body. The report is critical of the UCI, suggesting members of Armstrong's team were tipped off about when drug tests were to be conducted.
"All we can do is test and test and test and send the tests to the lab, and if they come back negative they come back negative," he said. "If athletes, not just cyclists, can beat the system, the system isn't strong enough."
McQuaid believes the reputation of the UCI will not face long-term damage: "It's not something that we have never dealt with before, we've had problems like this before. We've got through and the sport has got through and we will work through this one as well."

This is why WADA has to pressure the IOC to kick cycling out of the Olympics. Now of course, one could suggest the IOC make the UCI corruption look like amateurs, but the Olympic's is the real pressure on sporting bodies, rather than the professional side. Only by being banned by the Olympics would the UCI really look at itself, otherwise they can bury their heads and wait for the flack to clear

Nice from Millar but McQuaids response is such BS, makes me

On a scale of one to bull****, this is right up there. WADA has been advocating for some time for ADAs to set up bodies to hear non analytical evidence....because, as USADA has shown, it works. But are the UCI doing it. No, they are taking sly digs at WADA instead. You would think someone on the WADA board and exec would know what WADAs new directions were....

There it is. They CBF dealing with it properly because they got away with Festina and Puerto, so they "think" they will get away with this too. This is not the same. This is their third strike.

While Millar asks Verbruggen to resign he lets McQuaid of the hook.
McQuaid has been the puppet and should go too. He has criticised Landis, stood by Armstrong, denied, denied, denied and sued LeMond, Landis and now Kimmage.
Where are the cycling media now questioning mcQuaid about taking Landis to court after he was proved right!!!!

CNN's Piers Morgan is going after the bully!!!!
https://twitter.com/piersmorgan
"He's the biggest cheat in sporting history - and those still lauding him as a 'brave hero' need to ssssshhhh.""
"Every penny Armstrong won, earned in sponsorship, or raised for charity is as tainted as his blood was from the drugs he took to cheat."
"Yes, I would LOVE to interview @lancearmstrong - but he hasn't got the guts. Or have you, Lance? #LiveWrong"
You know that Lance's going down hard when you see the major news network talking like that, with no mercy.
