The point: this speculative BS has to stop. Its not catching dopers, its ripping our sport apart. Get a court system set up and leave it at that. No other sport is this self destructive. None.

A court where a rich athelte like Arsmtrong can buy his way to winning?

USADA has had decent success. It ha caught over 50 athletes.

That you are *****ing about it catching one of the biggest ever shows how sad your arguments are.

I agree with getting courts invloved. Make doping a 'white collar' crime with big fines.

Maybe it would be nice if we had an evidenced based process rather than trial by press and mutial recrimination and smear?



I am gonna ask you something and just an honest answer is what I want.

The evidence based process was offered to LA. He refused to participate and as it is not a criminal court he cannot be made. He wants people to believe it didnt happen but wont participate when evidence is to be made public in a hearing, which he has proved before by not taking cases against many news agencies who he believed actually had real evidence and refused to sue but did go on tv to give his side....ie why not sue
Why would he not participate in these hearings if he were innocent?

Because that would take time(and he'd end up as first loser) and at the moment he's trying to make as much $$$$$ as possible...wait I mean find a cure for Cancer!

The problem is ... he isn't. Livestrong and the LAF are all about "awareness".

TBH, they do some good helping people get access to support services, especially the Hispanic community (so I understand). And it must be difficult, with the huge sums of money going into cancer prevention / treatment, how a relatively small charity can get in on the act. But any nonsense about LA / LAF / Livestrong working to find a cure are just that - nonsense.

The simple fact of the matter is that USADA has now staked its entire reputation on LA. No biases, eh?

...

You are proving to be extremely biased.

USADA may have staked its reputation on Tim Montgomery or even to some degree on Marion Jones.

(She went to jail, btw)

Tyler's twin and Landis screaming that someone follow the rules when he wasn't, of course, only serve as a forward and foreshadow that time would catch up with the biggest doper of all.

An ADA risking their reputation on Lance? The assertion is comical.

You can be comforted that I will no longer respond, of course.

Dave.

Is this for real? I can't believe I'm reading posts that are still using the exact same arguments that LA apologists have been using since this whole thing started, i.e. not an evidence-based process, what about going after another rider instead of LA, etc. This is the CN Clinic, not a local newspaper comment section!

It depends if they include copies of the affidavits. If they do it will be very, very long. Hundreds of pages

I have encapsulated your post and removed all but the important and correct statements. Those I have quoted above. I would not however go so far as to accuse you of trolling, being wrong and flailing, yes but not trolling. You are not trolling because sadly I suspect that you really do believe this hogwash that you are spewing here.
Carry on.

You're right.

What you don't seem to get is that USADA's case is about preventing future dopers.

What have we learned since EPO hit the scene in 1991?

1. Well-funded dopers are nearly impossible to catch in the short term. Guys like Michele Ferrari get rich figuring out how to cheat. Armstrong gets rich cheating. Nobody gets rich from anti-doping. All the money and doping talent is on the cheating side. The cheating side always wins in the short term.

Therefore, the anti-dopers must rely on other tools.

2. Frozen samples along with extended satute-of-limitations to let anti-dopers catch up.

3. Make an example out of doping's most organized, well-funded, well-protected and well-rewarded rider/team owner, Armstrong.

The only way to strip the incentive out of doping is to let today's dopers know they will never get away with it. In the case of doping, if justice doesn't have a long arm, there will be no justice at all.

Team sanctions, also.

Is there any reason you, and the rest of the rabid lance trolls think that comments like this are anything other than bullying?

Please, grow up, realize you exist in a world with people other than you and those like you. Really, no one is forcing you to come onto a forum and insult people who haven't drunk the same cool aid as you.

If you don't like it, please, act like a grown up and move the hell on.

Rome learned to reign in the mob for a good reason, lets show that we have evloved slightly since Christ first appeared on the earth and stop the silliness.

No offense gents, but I think I will wait for Merckx ... passionate, level headed, informed, and genuinely concerned for the sport. THAT is what this sport needs MORE of. THe rumors? Could do with a lot less of those.

I was speaking with the wife who finally had a close conversation with an old friend about this entire subject. She was disappointed to know what we suspected was true and probably much worse than expected. She is level-headed and now informed. If you wait for Merckx (who is not Jesus, Lance has convinced himself and everyone that lives in the room with him that he is) you will die uninformed.
I still race and love it. The circle is now closed.

OK - I have to come clean here and actually sheepishly admit that I am the OP here. That's right. I started this mess which is now at more than 25 pages even after my original question was answered by page 2. You all can blame me :)

After reading every page I am now literally down on my knees begging the administrator to please - if there is a god in heaven - please for the love of god put a stake thru the heart of this thread and end the pain and suffering.

Thank you :)

Don't even think about it. This thread is a containment vessel. Destroy it and the contamination will spread everywhere.

surely it is better to call things just as they are?

time to grow up.... yours are not the only views which are valid

time to accept that lance cheated .........congratulate those who ensure that justice is served and move on

none of this process is because of rumours but facts

facts against lance
