Why Lance is going the Marion Jones' way

[Tinman]

Round 2 coming up in the USADA/Tygart vs "Master of Disaster" (Fabiani/Lehane) battle.

Think USADA file release and looming PR battle is new? Think again. It's been played before.

Control F (find & replace) "Marion Jones" for "Lance Armstrong" and you have the script. Almost verbatim.

Question is whether and how the script will adjust in round 2.

Mods feel free to move to Lance thread. It was getting buried there (surprise...) and deserves broader readership on this forum. Thanks Daniel Coyle for tweeting to your followers.

To this point. The Climic is becoming too popular in the mainstream - I'd say bigger than Lance.

Nothing wrong with a retweet but ripping off articles and credit from here is not on.

Dan next time say where you got the link!!! Ok?

Thanking-you.

I say go Dan and go whoever. It's about the broader readership. And the power of the internet and search engine technology. And yes The Clinic is a powerful virtual space to contribute our bit in cleaning up and reclaiming the sport...

I cannot wait to see Lance admitting guild. Eyes full of tears, adressing the crowds, saying he is sorry. Marion Jones style.....

When you think that Travis is experienced with this, it makes his quote in the L'Equipe interview all the more damning.

Armstrong wont do that, his eyes will be full of tears in the showers in cellblocks before he does that.

Come on people we need to drop it now, it was all in the past and the past doesn't matter

But I guess with Pharmstrong logic, if the past didn't happen then he didn't have cancer or finish 4th in an under 12 swim meet or win a bike race 7 times.

Not in a million years. LA is a bully and a mafia-type drug dealer with huge resources. Marion was just a doper. They are two vastly different individuals.

The only way Lance will ever admit anything is before a judge to reduce a certain prison sentence and we are a very long way from anything like that happening yet.

Hey, but don't rule it out, you never know.

Yeah that was the only reason Jones admitted it, in the hope to avoid prison altogether but the judge still gave her the maximum prison sentence the prosecution advised.
