Joe Papp - Business Insider (headline worth a laugh)
I'll out myself for an article that appeared today, with a suspect headline that definitely doesn't match the sentiment I expressed during the course of a 45min interview, which was pared down to something requiring all of 30sec to read:
1) Joe Papp
2) "Papp talked to us about the prevalence of doping in the sport and why Armstrong is 'too big to fail.'"
"If he's found guilty, USADA may strip him of all his titles for as far back as 1996. But I think he has fans who will stand by him no matter what. It's almost like he's too big to fail. He's a global brand and I don't see Nike or Oakley or Anheuser Busch walking away from him that easily because they've invested so much in his image." and
"It would be difficult and unpleasant to clash with someone like Lance, who has that much wealth and power. But USADA is very careful and would have to have plenty of evidence before going forward with charges."
3) Former Cyclist Tells Us Why It's Futile To Prosecute Lance Armstrong
