True, we can still post about Bruyneel, but when that is concluded, what next?
Armstrong charged and banned

Oh, I've seen the USADA heinous crime statement but the WADA Code Article 17 is quite clear:
"ARTICLE 17: STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
No action may be commenced against an Athlete or other Person for an anti-doping rule violation contained in the Code unless such action is commenced within eight (8) years from the date the violation is asserted to have occurred."
Seven then.........
Despite the claims, the USADA has no method of withdrawing these titles. They are still extant, and until the Awarding bodies take any action merely a wet dream for Tygart et al
They may end up embarrassed if the UCI and the rest do not comply

I can't help you then - facts and that. Either you comprehend them, or you don't.
Quelle surprise.

It is probably true that nobody can help him.
So what happens now if, possibly with behind the scenes help from Armstrong and others, Bruyneel takes on USADA, trashes their evidence and gets cleared? Would it still be safe to continue the penalties on the others because they did not contest them? Just a hypothetical what-if.
ASO have stated that they will wait to see what happens in the UCI/USADA standoff.
UCI have stated that they await the USADAs "reasoned decision" and have not been galvanised into action following the USADA judgement statement. I think that they might want to see the evidence.

The Landis file has certainly grown since my last read.
He surely has to be the worlds worst witness?
"During 2006 and 2007, Landis is believed to have raised about $1 million from the “Floyd Fairness Fund.""
Is that real?
edit http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/sports/cycling/16landis.html?_r=1&hp
" a security breach at the French antidoping lab that tested Landis’s urine samples from the 2006 Tour de France. Investigators found that an e-mail message sent to another lab in an apparent effort to discredit the Châtenay-Malabry antidoping lab"
Desperate times for him then methinks. I recall that hacking episode but did not realise it was subterfuge.

Can he write a good book?
The funny thing is that I recall have some backing Landis back then. His claim was that he was hacking looking for evidence as to his innocence.

Corresponds to my current mindset as my comments have already shown.
'Others chimed in as well. Oscar Pereiro, who inherited the 2006 Tour crown after Floyd Landis tested positive, said the case against Armstrong was “pathetic.”
“It all seems pathetic to me what’s happening, this puts the entire anti-doping system in doubt,” Pereiro told Europa Press. “I am convinced that the riders who have declared against Armstrong did so with the promise of not being sanctioned and that they do not have to return the money they’ve earned. Does that seem normal?”
That recent Mail article scarily hints that the cycling Taliban is moving target towards Sky next.

That failed event is surely what fueled the Travis rumour mill of him looking for another BALCO being under a shape up ultimatum.
