Aye that,
undeserved how they have to end it for him like this.

I don't keep up with the sport, but found the logic in this article interesting.

People lie. Blood and urine usually don't. And if they do, they don't lie 500 times. People do. Some lie that many times in a week. But okay. Let's assume these people really are witnesses, let's assume they're telling the truth, and then let's assume that their testimony is the new standard, outweighing all drug test results.

I don't know if Armstrong did the things he's accused of doing, and neither do you. I don't know if these witnesses are telling the truth, and neither do you. I do know two things: First, he passed all his tests. And second, if he had failed a drug test, and brought in 10 people to testify that they were with him every minute of every day leading up to the test and he never ingested anything, never injected anything, never doped his blood, would we be having this debate today? No, because he would have failed a drug test, and all the testimony in the world wouldn't matter.

As they did on others too, so what?
If you make a list off racing cyclists which are not connected to somekind of enhancement drug etc, it would be a pretty short list.
And now lets wait and see how many of those Olympic Heroes (regardless of the Nation) will still have their Olympic Medals next year.

Btw, i think most of "the French" don't give a flying fart about Lance Armstrong.

Even if it was the case, we would just be blaming the blameable. But really, no one cares about that poor walking syringe.
