Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

[Race Radio]

what's to stop him from just telling the truth?

$12,000,000

 

[blackcat]

Hmmm...

Liar paradox?

This sentence is false.

Dave.

Goedel Godel incompleteness theorem this cannot be proven

 

[MarkvW]

$12,000,000

That's why he has to submit to deposition.

 

[mewmewmew13]

$12,000,000

oh boy
tomorrow..

 

[Oldman]

oh boy
tomorrow..

It's not Tuesday so he'll plead the 5th...on Friday the 13th?

 

[DirtyWorks]

It never gets old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdeo7Q2E5cE&feature=kp

The reality is he probably "can't recall."

 

[mewmewmew13]

I'm betting he's dressed caz and acting like a thug.

 

[D-Queued]

Goes without saying. But, always nice to say it.

Dave.

I'm hardly an authority but isn't the US 5th Amendment strictly a criminal protection? Can one "take the fifth" in a purely civil matter, when there is no looming criminal penalty?

You can, but if you do your testimony probably won't be allowed, and the finder of fact will probably be allowed to draw adverse inferences from your silence.

Taking the 5th in a civil case only makes sense if you genuinely fear that your testimony in the civil case will expose you to a real risk of criminal prosecution.

Pretty soon, this will never get old either. It appears cycling's biggest joke/embarrassment/liar/fraud and scammer, is under oath after all.


You can't make this stuff up:

[HappyCycling]

The SCA owner played such a blinder with this whole thing, Tillotson will tear him a new one. Shame it's not public though.

 

[Herbstrong]

it will leak out soon enough.

 

[86TDFWinner]

it will leak out soon enough.

We'll find out very soon...........hopefully, the entire proceedings from today are posted somewhere(and make their way here).

Do they need to be kept confidential? This is deposition is early on...wouldn't surprise me if it gets leaked somehow.

I would love to see Lance under oath pull a Bieber:

"Do you know the hog?"-SCA

"No. I am absolutely not...sure...right now...let me think "-LA

"Do you know a man named Johan Bruyneel"-SCA

"Oh, Brunyeel. That name rings a bell..."-LA

"It it true that the Hog was instructive in getting your career restarted post-cancer?"-SCA

"OHBGECTION!"-Tim Herman

"What are you objecting to, I was just asking a legit question!"-SCA

(40 min recess; Lance has to answer the question.)

"I believe I was detrimental to my own career post-cancer."-LA

[thehog]

The deposition was closed to the press and public, and while SCA president Bob Hamman said he could confirm that deposition took place, he said he was barred from discussing specifics.

"His public confession didn't hurt us any," Hamman said.

Perhaps the SCA man will be arrested for being so thick?

Good times.

Maybe some traction to follow or a settlement. Probably just more appeals.... well appealing will be obvious.

yeah, bieber came to australia

 

[Granville57]

Does this mean that Tillotson gets a second chance at pronouncing Frankie Andreu's name correctly?

I've always assumed that this entire thing was orchestrated by Betsy, behind-the-scenes, for just that purpose.

Frankie never saw Lance dope, right?

Holly Molly what a mess that hearing was. I vouch to get JV on the stand!

I hope Bob shares the proceeds around. Lucky guy. Very lucky.

Meanwhile in the Federal case....

The judge in a whistle-blower lawsuit accusing Lance Armstrong of defrauding the government by using banned substances in violation of his team’s contract with the U.S. Postal Service put on hold a deposition of the disgraced cyclist.

Judge Robert Wilkins in Washington said he expects to rule within a week on a request by Armstrong to dismiss the lawsuit, originally brought by former teammate Floyd Landis in June 2010. The case was joined in part by the Justice Department in February 2013.

Wilkins said in November that he was inclined to let at least some of the lawsuit go forward. He told the parties to meet within 20 days after his ruling to propose a schedule, according to an order he issued this afternoon. A June 23 deposition in which Armstrong would be asked questions under oath by opposing lawyers could be reset if the case proceeds.

 

[Granville57]

I hope Bob shares the proceeds around.

I hope he uses it to buy this place:

...and then gives it to Floyd.

 

[mewmewmew13]

I was going to say that it looks like something Floyd should be 'hangin' around' in

Still playing games.

Armstrong’s counsel sent an email last evening requesting that the June 23, 2014, date for Armstrong’s deposition be changed, due to Armstrong’s “family obligations” that day

Nice, using the "I take care of my kids" angle

Maybe he's attending this?
