Ah, that's a shame. If you believe the article, he's a bit down because of his season. I hope he clears his head for next year if it's true! |

About time. When I'm broken, one of the biggest fanboys out there, you know it's time to give up.

Basically he can either not appeal and keep a lot of his reputation intact because he'll continue to claim it's a witchhunt and there's no evidence, etc etc. And mostly because unknowledgeable fans will believe him
The question is if his ego will let him do that or if he'll actually go to court where all the evidence will be made public and he'll be ripped to shreds.
Say I hoped for the second one. He chose the first one. Meh...
Now will race organisers go as far as to give his titles to the riders who came second ?  |

Expected decision, i think it would be dumb to face all the facts at the court, so the whole world could see the evidence and dirt on Lance. And he is a pussy to fight, he will rather say the whole life that this was manipulated witchhunt...
Also i am the only one disgusted with how the people who defend him does not forget to mention every second that Lance has a foundation that help people to fight cancer? I know this is very nice and admirable initiative, but how it is related to his cheating and why he should be treated different way because of it?

I hope for the race without a winner, because the other way it would be other doper to get the title. Lets say these were the dark times and the dark times does not have heroes, or they are lost in the sea of douchebags unfortunately.

For the second part : I'm never going to give him one dollar. I read enough about money transfers from various Armstrong organisations to get convinced that a large part of the money collected by Livestrong is not dedicated to the fight against cancer. |

I think USASA is like me , i say Lance is dopped , they said that too , i have no proof , they have no proof , where is the difference ?
I don't say that Lance has not cheated but to say that he was cheating only because he had enough and not want to fight anymore and finally live his life is a big s..t , fuck off , this is only a vendetta . I know Lance was dopped but i want a proof before throwing with dirt on him . |

They have no proof ?
And who says he was cheating only because he had enough and didn't to fight any more ?
He may not have taken it as hard as before in 2010, but all the years prior to that he was a fighter, yet he was doped. |

At 1 point in cycling we will come to the situation that laterne rouge will get promoted to the Tour de France win because of all those DQ's. You heard it here first |

It would never get to that point, even if you're right, unless you go back to the days when 50 riders finished the Tour, which still doesn't make it all that possible due to the time period and such. ( I think a lot of guys in the 30's to 70's rode on Cocaine though, might be wrong)

What troubles me is that they see his giving up the fight as a confession of guilt, what the hell is that about? |

Sad, hoped it wasnt true (think my first post on this forum was about LA and drugs) but resigned to the fact that it is.
Heyho the world keeps turning.
Are they proposing to take away his 2009 3rd place too?
