Sometimes I think he spews this crap just to get people to re-tweet it up the count of "vindicated" page views.

Incorrect! Zero points!

Jeff Novitsky is an agent with the USFDA. His job is to collect evidence (as a law enforcement officer would do), then present it to federal prosecutors. Prosecutors then present the case to a Grand Jury with the hope that indictments will be issued. FDA investigators:



Who are the OCI special agents?

Novitsky has zero to do with whether there will be a trial (other than the quality and extent of his investigation and subsequent evidence collection). He decides nothing. He's a cop. He can testify before the Grand Jury as well as any petit jury in a subsequent criminal or civil action. Cops interview witnesses on both sides of a case all day, every day. There is no priviledge when a witness is interviewed by an agent.

By the way, jeopardy doesn't attach to Grand Juries so even if indictments aren't handed down, criminal and civil charges can still be filed (although unlikely) and the whole shooting match can start all over again.

Word from the TDU is he's gone loopy and drinking more than he should. A friend of mine was unfortunate enough to be at a dinner where Lance went on one. Drink in hand he was writing the worlds wrongs and telling anyone how he'd run cycling if in charge.

He's lost the plot.... He knows the welcoming party he's coming home to.

Looks like USADA are about to pull the trigger on the Lance for doping.

It will be long proceedings but hopefully they'll get to the bottom of his alleged doping.

Question is what will the UCI do?

The UCI will see which team is gonna win and side with them, even if it means switching sides many times during the process. ;)

The UCI is fine to lose, if their vocal support for the loser means that by the hands of interested parties, the UCI('s principals) still win.

When has the UCI(Verbruggen/McQuaid) ever done different? For me the UCI is McQuaid and by winning as you said it is money in their personal pockets and not doing anything for the greater good of the sport.

There have been cases where doing the right (short term) thing coincided with the top dog's greater agenda. Some riders need to be thrown under the bus. Not better volunteers for that than proven and self admitted dopers.

I assume they'll just produce a report stating where the USADA got it wrong and refuse to enforce a respective ban or title stripping.

Then they'll take out action on Ullrich again just for fun.

:D....poor Jan jesus. Now there's a guy who has also paid a price. Imagine fifty of us driving down the motorway at 120mph, but two of us get thrown into jail.
Welcome to anti-doping in cycling.

And it looks like Wonderboy is about to pull the trigger on the Smear Travis campaign.

It is unfortunate that someone has to make the choice to do the right thing but risk his career and expose his family to a insane level of harassment

I don't envy his position. But if the evidence is there he should do the right thing. It will be tough but and I'm sure we'll start to see all sorts of questioning of the USADA process.

So what will they call it?

Bitter ex-teammates? Book deal? Jealous wife of former teammate. What will they label this one? I assume they will say other athletes were offered sweetheart deals to expose Lance and make things up.

If we start to see some of the real evidence not seen before it might raise some questions to why the Federal probe was dropped.

We'll see but its important the anti-doping authorities will be doing their job regardless of the athlete. Armstrong himself he welcomes the case and having himself vindicated.

My feeling is that the public are exhausted of all of this. This time around they will just want him to admit and move on. The more and more he pretends he didn't the more its looks as though he's hiding the big lie.

I for one wish he'd come clean so the sport could move on.

LA will never admit....that would potentially reopen the USPS investigation, regardless of what has been said about it being closed.

You guys ought to know what he is about after all these years. Hold your breath while waiting for him to admit PED use. There is way more at stake here than getting slapped by USADA.

I have to say I agree with Chris. :eek:

Lance will NEVER admit to anything. I can see him exhausting every high-priced attorney in the U.S. just to keep the ball rolling away from him.

There is no end to excuses and blame that will come out of wonderboy and his team. It has always been his m.o. and will never change.
It's always someone else's fault

Let's hope they go after Leipheimer. What a mockery that guy has turned the sport into.
