Armstrong charged and banned

[BJH]

He's entitled to feel what he wants. But in reading about his views and feelings and wondering whether he was treated badly it is worth knowing that a Court threw out all his claims that were the basis of his disgruntlement. And in the light of that the person being portrayed as the "win at all costs, never give up" Armstrong, having won all the major points in the case offered him a settlement (which he accepted) rather than press home the legal advantage and probably bankrupt him with legal costs.

Yes money does tend to give you a better chance in court, especially in the US

Surely this makes 101

If everyone else is doing it, how can it be seen as cheating?

The top guys are getting through these threads so fast that without caffeine you are simply not going to keep up.

But what does this have to do with Armstrong?

You do realise of course that the mods are watching this thread and anyone found guilty of using post enhancing drugs will have their posts deleted and all trophy points removed. You've been warned.

I'm not going to respond to that allegation. Does that mean I get my posts and trophy points removed?

He's a contributor to The Clinic forum on Cycling News (he's TexPat if you're interested), a valuable source of 1st hand account.

Edit: that's the first time I've read all of the story in one piece, bits are familiar to me from various sources...

Yes, I knew that, and likewise. Heard bits. Interesting that his POV is more about what a complete arse Lance is, rather than doping evidence per se.

Yeah 100 pages!

EPO = Electronic Performance Overload

why not ignore reading it or posting in it?

Why not Noodley, why not?

USADA have taken back the colour yellow which is apparently owned by the TdeF so he now only has signed replica white ones.

So does he have to hand back the trophies and medals as well? Do all the official TdF videos/DVDs of the years LA won have to be recalled to try to erase his wins from the official record? It is rather Orwellian.

Never been a fan of Ligget.

No, but I get the time bonuses for being the 2000th post and on page 100.

This thread is now closed.
