I particularly like the "come on USADA - show us what evidence you've got" type posts.

But how great would he have been without dope. No doubt he'd have been good but would he have been great? Possibly not. Also it's about much more than bike riding skill. His actions have an impact on the sport and others in it. I think that his actions really do bar him from being considered great in any way.

Great, aren't they? You could almost believe the old hater myths about Lance having an army of interns posting favourable propaganda and smearing enemies.

Do you have a life? If there was a medal for unpleasantness then you'd be sprinting for it.

UCI comment:
The UCI notes Lance Armstrong’s decision not to proceed to arbitration in the case that USADA has brought against him.
The UCI recognises that USADA is reported as saying that it will strip Mr. Armstrong of all results from 1998 onwards in addition to imposing a lifetime ban from participating in any sport which recognises the World Anti-Doping Code.
Article 8.3 of the WADC states that where no hearing occurs the Anti-Doping Organisation with results management responsibility shall submit to the parties concerned (Mr Armstrong, WADA and UCI) a reasoned decision explaining the action taken.
As USADA has claimed jurisdiction in the case the UCI expects that it will issue a reasoned decision in accordance with Article 8.3 of the Code.
Until such time as USADA delivers this decision the UCI has no further comment to make.

Who will they get to play Lance? My vote is for Danny DeVito.

Point 2 doesn't sound promising to me, I wouldn't start making arrangements for Rio just yet

If as I think the UCI wants total control of its sport, there is only one option for them.

Robert Downey Jr is the only one who could match him for chemical intake.

UCI tried to get control of this case and failed. What do you mean 'only one option'?

No. He's already playing Jonathan Vaughters. Robert Carlyle as Begsie - that's a better match for Lance.

He's denied it.... but more importantly, he's never tested positive for it !
