Heck yeah

 

[BroDeal]

LOL. Best news of the day.

With interest there goes $10M+ to the SCA and the Brits might be pushing for criminal charges.

There is no joy in Mudville. The mighty Armstrong has struck out.

Armstrong still emphatically denies doping, Fabiani said.



Still?

 

[purcell]

What the times should do, if they want to spend money on lawyers, is get behind Kimmage and open the chequebook .....

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Armstrong cannot admit the truth anymore. He's boxed himself in. All those stupid lawsuits are now hanging like a flock of albatross around his neck.

I have made that point before. It is funny. He is trapped.

It will be similiar to Rocky V when Rocky filed for bankruptcy and the mansion and everything is gone.

The only difference being that Armstrong will be doing it in disgrace.

You watched Rocky V?

I stopped at Rocky III

That's just the movies. It would really be grat if it were that way, but the reality is that he still has Livestrong. And even if Livestrong went down, and he stopped getting money, he would probably still have enough to still be a multi-millionaire. And even if his assets (houses, cars, private jet) were to be under threat of repossession, then he'd justs file for bankruptcy before it got really bad and still have all his properties, toys, etc..

Jeffrey Archer, baby.

He'll still feel it, big time. One just gradually lives larger, buys more toys, drinks fine wine, when they got more $; the rapid transition backwards is very very painful.

 

[D-Queued]

Let's hope somebody launches a jury trial in Texas...

Can you say 'punitive damages'?

Dave.

Oh and it does'nt end there for Wonderboy.

this is pretty much like christmas. I mean, smugness and gloating is something I don't normally get excited about or indulge in, but so many of us have known for so many years what has been going on, that all of the stories coming out in the report aren't a huge surprise. But it's so, so nice to see all the talking points debunked now by major news media, and the truth about witness intimidation etc becoming publicly accepted. Herman and Fabiani are grasping at straws if their main attack on the report is that witnesses signed their affidavits after Armstrong had already given up, yeesh. The sport's biggest bully is getting beaten up, and I find it entirely satisfying.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People would, say, "Beware DBag, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all jealous of you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was speakin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Me too. I joined the dots on Drago - the size of the guy, the doping scene behind the Iron Curtain at the time and, the real biggie, the training camp in Tenerife - and didn't watch out of protest.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Looks as if he's going to be too busy to move on.

That´s true. Better been always poor than poor-rich-poor fast. That is hurting/depressing. Own experience at very very small proportions compared to LA.
He will suffer big time.

It would be quite ironic watching that now as a young and naive teenager I thought Sylvester/Rocky was natural.

There's plenty of celebrities who had this much money and toys, and yet found a way to lose it all.

[Maxiton]

I seriously doubt anything will ever come of this. Why? Because I suspect LA had a hand in introducing Murdoch's new cycling superstar to . . . success, let's say. But even if he didn't have a direct hand in it, LA knows where the bodies are buried and you know he won't hesitate to blow the lid . . . Sky high.

It's late here, I'm in bed about to go to sleep, using phone, so I'm not doing my usual exhaustive indepth research before posting but what about Emma O'Reilly? Didn't he sue her? And make extremely disparaging remarks that really are slanderous?

She should go for the jugular. Hell hath no fury....

He sued her, personally.

And for anyone that ever asked he called her an "alcoholic prostitute"

He wasn't shy about calling her that, over and over and .....

I hope she lets him have it with both barrels.

 

[sublimit]

Probably false anyway.
