USADA - Armstrong

[Epicycle]

About bloody time. Let's hope they've done their homework properly!

I'm sure they have. USADA has been running their own investigation since Floyd started talking and they've shown over and over that they know how to win these arbitrations.

Some of the comments on VN are classic. Looks like the samaritans might be busy with fanboys tonight !

The truly funny stuff is on Beginner Triathlete's forum. Clueless does not do it justice.

If Armstrong were to lose Tour de France titles, it would,

1A) Be really, really super freaking sweet dude
A) Sully the sport to the casual fans of cycling.
B) An investigation should be done on the subsequent riders who finished behind Armstrong, in the 1999-2005 victories.
B) is the only fair course of action by USADA, as it is important that no dopers should take the Tour titles which are bound to be stripped by Armstrong.
Any other course than a full investigation of Armstrongs' competitors would be a travesty of justice.
Also any results of any riders found to be doping during the Armstrong years should be stripped as well as lifetime bans and return of prizes with interest.
USADA should follow that course. This includes any informants who rode alongside Armstrong.
The cheaters should be destroyed, along with Armstrong if he is found guilty.

Fixed that for you.

It needs its own thread.

I just posted the CN story on his facebook page with a "lol about time". It took them a minute to take it down.

Outstanding! Those damn editors must be on high alert now.

People here get so defensive of him. Half the guys I ride with regularly worship the guy. Some have posters of him in their garages. My favorite thing is the way they parrot Phil and Paul. Contador being tactically ignorant and arrogant are 2 of their favorites.

You want USADA to go after European riders?

You do know what the "US" in "USADA" means, right?
You want the USada to investigate Italian, Spanish & German riders?

Edit: Kennf1 beat me to it.

They don't make a towel big enough to get that egg off your face...I'd suggest a 2000 psi car wash, but I don't think even that would work

HEY, speaking of massive buckets of egg on one's face, anyone seen ChrisE?

 

[Eusebio Kino]

Fixed that for you.

Also, this goes for Alberto, Vino, Basso, Valverde etc. Lifetime bans return of titles, prize money. We can go back for as many years back as the USaDA is willing but likely it can afford to go back from now to 1999.

 

[Eusebio Kino]

Yes! Full investigation on the blood profiles and iffy tests worldwide. That is the fairest thing for cycling. Burn it down, one cyclist, sponsor and team at a time.
A gatteling gun of fairness in Cyclesport, world wide.

This is all really cool and stuff, but I still prefer the day Floyd dropped the bomb. That day was the day someone finally had the testicular fortitude to pull the cover off and show us all what we had been smelling for so long.

Chapeau Floyd!

 

[The Hitch]

Phil and Paul are currently doing TDS coverage right?

Someone want to record that one for tomorrow

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

Was wondering where you'd gone!

This is the first time in five years that I've actually wanted to watch Versus.

Oh, don't get me started. Phil and Paul will be defending him the entire 3 weeks of the Tour. Wish that I could watch the Tour in HD, but have others doing the commentating.

The Fanboys will never believe it unless Lance admits it in a video recording.

Del Moral!!

For the rest, that was just poetry to read. USADA, thank you. Truth has surfaced. A rare thing to happen in sports, or at all in general news.

Crank it up zam! Bob should be here

 

[mastersracer]

letter states witnesses will testify he used testosterone, EPO, and HGH previously (not sure how early) but through to 1996 so pre-cancer as well as Tour wins.

Edit - never mind.

Del Moral!!

The thing that really caught my attention was Marti's current address or rather lack of it

 

[webvan]

Del Moral!!

Yep, no wonder JV fell off his chair when he saw that name on the reports for the rider whose name escapes me at this time, Trent Lowe?
