Armstrong charged and banned

[GrumpyGregry]

....and the means used apparently to get riders to give evidence against Armstrong.

which makes for tainted evidence imo, and evidence that would get ripped to shreds in an English law court

Careful or you'll be getting yourself a fanboy tag

Is Ligget accusing the USADA of bribing witnesses?

He certainly suggested that there were financial incentives involved!

It's a mistake to confuse wanting Armstrong to get brought to book with being a hater.

... even if they make spurious allegations that they cannot substantiate?

Your record is really one of bigotry in this case

Can you substantiate your allegation that they can't substantiate their allegations ?

Umm.... I don't. It niggles me that I don't, but I can't help but like them.

That whole snarling disdain and enmity for The Spurs seems to have started (unhelpfully) in the past couple of decades.

I feel sorry for Spurs sometimes, because they don't even seem to be able to win a bottle of plonk in a raffle, never mind anything on the football field.... But coming from an Arsenal supporter that's a bit rich.

I have very bad news...no, it's not that you are not a true Arsenal fan it is much, much worse than that:

You have got old and developed a sense of perspectice

I'm sorry old bean, but wtf are you on about?

That Liggett interview is nuts.

Just because the riders who finished second may also be tainted is not a defence against stripping LA.

I couldn't give a a flying f',k whether that first clean, or at least untainted rider, came in last. They are still more credible than a dirty winner.

Previous examples have shown that dirty riders have often appeared reluctant to take on the winners mantle after event. So whether JU doesn't want it does not count as evidence.

LA might have brought great amounts of cash and new supporters to cycling but that matters nothing. He's a cheat and he has been caught so Liggett discredits the sport by propagating the idea of brushing I all under the carpet.

Which is really the sad part - either you really don't understand or are in denial

Don't need to, the fact that the individual concerned has failed to substantiate the allegation is sufficient substantiation to substantiate my allegation that they can't substantiate their allegations

He bought into SRAM a few years ago - cant find anything about him owning any of Trek on a quick search. Its still a wholly owned family business as far as i know.

Lance Armstron stated under oath during the arbitration case brought by Tailwind sports who ran the US Postal service team against SCA Promotions, a sports promotion company that he owned 10% of tailwind sports. Tailwind Sports reportedly acquired Trek and sold it on.

To be honest, I don't know what allegation you're talking about - cunningly you didn't articulate the alleged insubstantial allegation and it might help if we know what you're on about.

Maybe Adam Ant was a cyclist?

"Ridicule is nothing to be scared of "

I now wonder what got his back up to inspire that line.
The inspiration behind song lines always makes fascinating reading.
