So LA has opted not to cooperate with USADA but will be first through the door when an international tribunal finally gets called.

And no doubt when that fine day arrives he will then have further issues so sadly won't be able to be first through the door after all.

So that means he has opted for his own death sentence.

Hopefully no more moaning from him and he now just shuts the F up and stays in Texas.

Yes I read that too in the G&M I guess the deadline was today .It says " the disgraced cyclist refused to participate in a process designed “only to demonize selected individuals.”

He'll have to try harder than that to rewrite how he's going to be recorded for posterity.

Now he's acting like a precocious kid who's attempting to put the pieces back a few moves after losing a board game ... game over Mr L.E.Gunderson ... go sit in the corner and stop annoying the decent kids!
 
Good morning

It appears that LA has a strategy;

1)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
2)Attack the regulators on the basis that they are victimising him.
3)Some people will start to feel that he is the victim.
4)Accept that he may face legal challenges, which may be expensive or even bankrupting.
5)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
6)Attack the regulators on the basis that they are victimising him.
7)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
8)Some more people will start to feel that he is the victim.
9)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
10)Attack the regulators on the basis that they are victimising him.
11)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
12)Some more people will start to feel that he is the victim.
13)Victim status will allow reinstatement with some but not all of his previous partners.
14)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
15)Possibly publish books and films based on his achievements and victimisation.
16)Admit to drugs use but say that everyone else was doing it to.
17)Everyone will become so bored with the issue, they will forgive him just to get him to shut up.

There are some sections in USADA report which talk about teams that were not doping, these bits don't get much publicity.

Bye

Hot off the press....

...Armstrong has said..

...sorry, his lawyer has said, "He will be the first man through the door to answer all questions when the whole of the universe is under consideration in the UCI's 'When Hell Freezes Over T&R Commission'

Personally, I don't blame him... What's he got to gain? Its not about the wider world of doping, its about the vilification of LA, and the chances of him having his ban removed?....... Nada........ assuming he's even interested in competing.

He's pleaded his guilt, a kangaroo court isn't going to change that, move on.

He didn't plead guilty at any point though. He conceded only things that had been demonstrated independently of him.
His only redemption could be a personal one if he felt any guilt or responsibility. Clearly for now he is still deluded within his own ego. In failing to face up to USADA who defeated him, he's likely to stay there and the vilification will continue.
