Get the barf bag ready : [url="http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/despite-usadas-evidence-liggett-remains-armstrongs-supporter]Despite USADA's evidence Liggett remains Armstrong's supporter[/url]

- still supports Armstrong
- has been made to look like a fool
- There has to be some truth in Tyler's book
- can't quit as he's signed a contract to comment until 2016

You had been warned, dirty old man!

If they have any sense, they would. It's not as if he would be hard to replace either.

They could easily bring in Declan Quigley. Great knowledge of the sport.

I think he said in the Interview (when asked about his retirement statement) that he had already signed contracts to the end of 2013, or 2014. So he might have to be paid out in order to retire now (Phil aint stupid when it comes to money!!).

Could be that one winner out of all this in the commentator stakes might be Matthew Keenan.

All that stuff about Senile Phil just obfuscates the ugly truth: he's been in on the fix all along. He's been a willing participant, lying the whole way to protect his own interests. He knows exactly what he's doing, playing the "confused old man" part. This sums it up:

Scott LeMond ‏@ScottLeMond

@nyvelocity Yep, standing around talking at the finish, Phil and Paul were talking about how lance was the biggest cheat.

I was just going to post this.

Liggett's stupidity act is just an act. He knew very well what was going on. He could have glossed over Armstrong's doping, maybe deflected attention away from it, but he decided to go out of his way to actively protect Armstrong.

From CN:

I had an email from an eminent scientist from the US yesterday. An SMS actually. It said if Lance Armstrong had taken the drugs outlined by USADA he’d have been dead ten years ago. He’s an eminent scientist and a very intelligent man. I don’t know his name, the SMS came from a secondary person.

Phil's definitely losing it.
