The new improved Lance Armstrong discussion thread.*

[Red Light]

Sorry but there is no mention of Tygart or lobbying in that article. It points out certain aspects of the USADA summary.

?? Usada says his statements in court were false and consequently "subject to the penalties of perjury". ??

As far as I know only the Courts, not USADA, can penalise someone for perjury so they are clearly suggesting the Courts penalise him.

On another front- are you a lawyer or such like? I only ask because you seem very keen on the legal ramifications of the whole LA affair.

No, but I spend a lot of time working with lawyers on legal matters.

You spend a lot of time on this thread, you can't spend that much working.

Yes, so?

 

[beastie]

Yes, so?

So what. Just an observation.

Bruyneel's gone. (Or has that been said?)

Bruyneel's gone. (Or has that been said?)

It has. Stories starting to appear in the mainstream press now.
It'll be interesting to see if this creates a domino effect where the recently sacked decide to take a few down with them.

I have such fond memories of spending a lot of time working with lawyers on illegal matters.

 

[PaulB]

Yes, so?

It's gone beyond 'just a bit tragic' now, in your sad case.

That's what happens when you're on the wrong side of the law

That's rich. Did LA give Jan his eating disorder too?

I wonder why they didn't speak put sooner.

Nothing was ever proved.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Is that to criminal standard or to civil standard?

On the balance of probability one of the bigger boys made me do it.

Well it was more the detail of when and why, rather than his 'he made me do it' excuse.

Ah, the Armstrong defence. Nice one
