We all know that he's going to spin this.... right?
You don't get hundreds of people bending to your wim, getting them to take drugs, work for you, respect you, fear you... Unless you're a certain kind of person.
I'm not crediting him with being a good person, but this isn't a slam dunk.
He'll be in front of cameras, confessing, he'll play up his own reluctance to dope, how he hated seeing cheaters prosper... There are ways for him to end the next 12 months in a better position than he's in now.
To state my belief; Cheat. Nasty piece of work. At times, hugely impressive.

The concept that Piers can criticise anyone for dispicable behaviour is impossible to comprehend...

Isn't Armstrong's gala event in Austin taking place tomorrow evening? Assuming it goes ahead, it will be interesting to see what if anything he says.

That could be my dubious translation! I wasn't sure if he meant he was fed up with the entire saga or simply tired (he's in China, so the exchage took place in the early hours of the morning I guess).
Anyhow, Hein's now off the front pages here in favour of Sylvia Kristel, whose death has just been annouced.

UCI spokesman says they will say nothing about the case until the 31st October deadline.

Is that to maximise the time they have to fake their deaths in the underground bunker in Aigle, and move their massed fortunes to the Bahamas?
I bet the Livestrong phone is ringing off the hook with guests cancelling because they've suddenly come down with flu / not been able to find a babysitter / been abducted by aliens.

I see Axel's going to be there. Has his Dad said anything lately about his mate Lance?

I would be so gutted if that is true.
I do hope Jens and the rest of RSNT disassociates themselves from this event.

UCI have now come out and said their decision is imminent! Good grief.
