Lance Armstrong to be charged with doping offences - Washington Post

I hear they are selling adverts during this programme at Superbowl prices.

From a phycology view - No surprise Lance is contacting everyone before hand as it looks better saying he communicated with these people before the interview. Good luck to him - anyone who beats cancer is a winner in my eyes

Absurd perception there Baz, truly absurd. You think that anyone, who largely through no conscious effort, survives a disease, is worthy of veneration?

There will be an absolute plethora of abhorrent folk who have survived cancer, it really has no bearing on a persons character.
 
I don't believe he'll be naming names. He'll wait for that until his gives information to USADA or WADA and testifies.
 
Well, if that simmering cauldron of integrity says it's so, that's good enough for me.
 
I'd quite like someone who's given him money to prosecute him for fraud.

He's trousered loads of prize and advertising money knowing he cheated to get it. Simple fraud to me.
 
I'm sure he and his lawyers have considered that.

I can only assume he's either cut some sort of deal that protects him against prosecution in America (is that even possible?) or he's not been as direct and forthcoming as people think in the interview.

So, he committed perjury or something like that, yes?

It is probably time-barred (or he's cut a deal). He would not have put himself in a position to allow the government to prosecute him for perjury.
 
Wait a minute..... Do you mean to tell us that all the pricey shit she's been giving away for all these years was actually sponsored and not paid for out of her own pocket through the kindness of her jumbo heart!? NO! I refuse to believe it!
 
He has admitted to EPO and blood doping across all seven Tour wins. He acknowledges that would not have been able to win without it, not "in that generation".
 
I am sensing a sort of "i was a product of the times and some others took more than me" undertone thus far.
 
In before has was lying about cancer
 
Thing is, for all this faux sorrow and shame - the fact is that his drugs still propelled him to an estimated net worth of over 100m dollars. Even once he gives all the money that he owes in prize money and libel, he will still be a multi-millionaire and the future of his children will be protected for generations.

Who had the last laugh?

Oh it is said that with all of the claims against him and legal fees, that the bill could be not far away from that 100m figure.
 
This calm demeanour is just another side to his arrogance, i mean...to not to have known the extent of his following around the world?

The blood doping was just part of his check list, and for him his desire to win put any ethical concerns surrounding its use out of the picture.

I get what you're saying - he's a cheat and deserves feck all. But on the other hand, you have to admit that even though he did cheat he worked hard for it anyway. It's not like he sat around in his sofa all year and did feck all, then popped a few pills and then took a trip around France on a bike. While I have no sympathy for Armstrong whatsoever, he is seemingly right that everyone that mattered (all the top riders) cheated back then, so it was a level playing field. An incredibly shit level playing field, mind.

I'm not trying to defend Armstrong or say that he's a stand-up guy and I get that it's a bit of a piss-take that he's now a rich bastard, but if it hadn't been him it would've been some other cheater. Hopefully everyone who paid him during his career will sue him though - I heard something about at least one of his contract containing the clause that he "cannot cheat", which I suppose could be a way to make him pay back whatever he earned from that.
 
I never called you fat

First and foremost you have to admit that thee remained some rider who gave their careers to the Tour and busted a gut over thousands of miles, but amounted to little or less than was their due because of Armstrong and people like him.

If as an honest rider he had fallen short, what was stopping Armstrong turning his winning mentality t track cycling and going for gold in the Olympics?
 
It's completely untrue that he called her a 'fat crazy bitch'. He only called her a 'crazy bitch'

Brilliant.
