which investigation is he talking about the DOJ $40,000,000 dollar one that yielded nothing,or the IOC tests after his medal or the USADA investigation.
45 million later and Armstrong is caught,I guess we ran out of cash to get George,Levi,CVV and Zbag, the USADA is probably just saving up

You must have spent a lot of your money on all the yella and black gear to be this angry :D.

Ah well dont worry there will another myth to buy into soon. ;)

1. What I love about the picture is it's symbolic of his waning celebrity status. If he registers his long slow grind to into irrelevance, that's got to profoundly bother him. Wonderboy has to be frustrated that his potential conquests aren't going to get any younger too.

2. Of course his conscience is clear, it's not like he has one that would bother him.

More Wonderboy scandals coming very well after the smoke clears from the USADA processing.

Yes, ...." Let's move on skip this whole USADA thing. It's so last month. "

I thought this comment from Armstrong describing his supporters in that Lava piece was interesting - 'some are true believers' - it sounds like even Lance can't be bothered to keep up with the facade much longer.

No it's that he's too weak to admit and wants people to do it for him. Make up their own minds without him having to say the words that he cheated.

He's a such a loser.

I wonder does Armstrong realise yet that he wont be invited back to the Tour in the future like Merckx to be fawned over, where he can tell everyone it was not like in the old days where men were men etc etc

He cant even do a Jake La Motta but that wont stop him from trying :D

Today, come watch me me annihilate a bunch of other cancer survivors in a triathlon, wearing just a speedo!

Someone should get that woman to tell he life story by answering fixed questions. Come back a year later and ask again. And the year after. Would be great psych uni textbook case.

Sure he does not care. That is why he is wearing a temporary "seven" tattoo, because he does not care that he was stripped. :rolleyes: Landis said it best when he talked about whether Armstrong cares or not./QUOTE]

A man with a clear conscience would have a permanent tattoo.

HAHA well ...yeah.

Hey what about the fact that the "Paceline" keeps telling us to move on and yet the clinic is still discussing?

Who are the real fans?

From Lava magazine interview:

"I was raised in a way, and maybe my mom was this way, and her life wasn't perfect, it was complicated. But she always looked forward. She looked a day, and a month, and a year, and 10 years from now. Some people don't do that. They sit around and talk about the past. You always get high-school friends who sit around and talk about "hey remember that time?" and I'm like "why are you asking me about that?"

Armstrong's decision not to contest the charges was labelled by many as tantamount to an admission of guilt, while even without seeing the evidence, WADA described Armstrong's decision not to recognise UASDA's jurisdiction or fight the charges ""means the charges had substance in them. However Armstrong's resolute stance in public appearances has led to him introducing himself as a seven-time Tour winner and during a recent triathlon in the US he selected the number 7 race number to compete in.

"Hey - remember the time I won [sic] those seven TdFs?"

Landis is down at Devoted Ink getting 10,667 on each bag and 4900 PM +HV on the stick. He is getting $478,354$ on the small of his back, also getting a piercing to hold a Sharpie so after who ever is behind him "donates" they can deduct the amount given from the $478,354 he owes from the fan theft. I ma still puzzled that a judge, legal professionals and Landis himself agreed on a 3 year payback schedule. He couldn't afford internet a few month back while being interviewed by Neil Browne but collectively they think Landis will come up with 160,000 dollars extra after expenses for the next three years. I betting my money on lucky number 7, even if it's applied temporary. I am also putting a 100 bucks on Landis Nascar Inc at 10billion to one it's worth it. Maybe the town of Idyllwild will have a big fund raiser for Landis or maybe a roller race at the Parkside Lounge in NYC or a book signing at Brooklyn Brewery, oh crap he already tried that.

Another one from the Lava interview:

“We have a rough business plan, but we’re not ready to make an announcement next week or next month,” said Armstrong. “We’ve got good, experienced, passionate people who are involved, and we’ve got I think a lot of people willing to support events, people that want something else, whether it’s lower entry fees or a better experience or a better after-party or swag bag.

Lower fees and better swag bag? After Vaughters gets his MBA I hope they hire him to do some basic business math.

I can't imagine a Livestrong event will have a lower entry fee. Their over the top marketing, royalty fees to Survivor, mandatory donation to cancer research, and LA appearance fees alone will double the cost. And won't Edgar instead of Powerade at the aid stations drive up the cost? Oh, I guess we can save the USA Triathlon license fee because their races won't be sanctioned.

And a better swag bag has never been on my list of things I wanted out of a race. The best races I've done have had small entry fees <$10 (or even fat asses with no entry fees) with no t-shirt and no swag. Besides, I'd throw away the black and yellow t-shirt in a Livestrong swag bag.

At least USAT upholds doping bans.

So does Ironman (World Triathlon Corporation). They barred him before he was even sanctioned. The upcoming race is with the Rev3 organization. They dropped USAT sancationing simply to allow him in

Armstrong has really become a sad, pathetic little man...he never had much class, but he is really outdoing himself...it's laughable as well that he says others ought to be out training or something rather than concerning themselves with whether he is held accountable...some of the pics I saw of him recently make him look like bad phyllis diller porn material...
 
"I don’t care. Honestly. And I mean that." Really now...he does care.

"Yeah, others won’t move on. It’s sad." He can't move on - he tattooed 7 on his arm?!?!!! (I saw it mentioned in previous comments, I totally agree.)

"I’m aware that it’s out there." As in, I've heard through the grapevine but I haven't seen it for myself. No no no ... we all know he's glued to the Internet scouring to see what's being said about him.

"But I’m always humbled and blown away by people’s responses. Today, and going to talk at the Leadville pre-race riding briefing, the support I get, it’s like, “whoa.” " As in, "Wow I can't believe people swallow any line you throw them and still support you when the evidence is all over the place! It's like "Whoa People! Can't you really put two and two together!??!"

"Every time I show up, I expect picketers. And when they don’t show up, I’m like, “cool.” " Of course! Just like the guy who shouted out from his car when he and Tyler were riding and when Tyler caught up he was pounding the guy relentlessly.

... will stop now.

- What I really mean there was a time I was speaking with Vanity Fair & racing world class events. Now I'm talking to unknown publications & running around with total Fred's. Life is crap. But if I say I don't care then maybe you think I don't. I admit that I am a loser & a fake.

...and that my current girlfriend hates my *** now, but will hang till the well runs dry. But I really don't care.

....oh, yeah...and my Wisconsin based sponsor is about ready to launch WW3 on my *** too, but I really don't care. I really don't.

....and since I ran off at the mouth a little with ex-postal team mates about my sweet deal with the UCI, they will leave me hanging, and maybe even try 'Floyding' me. I don't care.

And nor do the Livestrong donors......

David Walsh just made some excellent points on Twitter.

1) Lance Armstrong says we should all move on, doesn't subscribe to view that those who ignore mistakes of history are apt to repeat them.

2) If Lance Armstrong says everyone should move on, why has Livestrong employed a lobbyist to go to Capitol Hill and campaign against USADA?

3) Those who contribute to Livestrong can hardly imagine their money is being spent on a campaign to undermine an anti-doping agency.
