JV was not the major player in taking down Armstrong! Floyd Landis was.
We dont know how many witness are needed. Tygart got lucky that he sat in on Feds testimony or that Feds were hanging over the whole thing and no cyclist wanted to do time. But saying that Livingstone kept his gob shut as did Horner.
Can you point anyone on CA or any other team JV rode for that got sanctioned due to JV not playing the omerta game?
Can you point to anyone on any of Floyds or Tyler's teams(not Postal) who were sanctioned beacuse of their confessions. How about team-mates of Manzano or Simeoni perhaps?? Maybe buddies of Kohl or Jaksche?? How many people were sanctioned because of Sella's confessions? Only 2-3 people cos that's how many people were doping at his team!!!
Saying as I like to grind on Kimmage, he has former team-mates who are still running Pro-Teams today. Has he ever outed them? Nah, must be ometra mate.
What about Basson's? Did Mr Clean give up any names or throw anybody under the bus?
Fact of the matter is this, in most walks of life normal people take responsibility for their own personal actions and behaviour and don't willingly throw other people to the wolves, even if those peoples actions might have impacted on them and especially not when they were doing the same things themselves. That is not ometra, that is human nature.
How many people here would report a friend or colleague to the police for driving under the influence?
What if you yourself had done it, would this may you even less likely to report someone?
How many people would admit to seeing a friend or colleague driving under the influence if called to testify or give evidence in court?
Everyone can rant on about ometra and try and take the moral highground but you can be guranteed 99% of people would act in the exact same manner.
