Lance Armstrong has really rubbed somebody out there the wrong way. They won't give it up.

How many drug tests does the dude have to pass? Isnt 500 enough?

This is exactly what I have been thinking. How can Armstrong not be caught when they just show up and knock on his door for a drug test at anytime when he was active in the sport of cycling. When you read about how the cycling governing body were after him because he was dominating their sport for so long and they never could find any doping going on. There were other big names that got caught. I just can't believe he was the only one that knew how to "beat the system".

Word is that some of his old U.S. Postal Services teammates are going to testify against him in exchange for immunity. Hincapie was named specifically. How far will these people go to nail him to the wall?

So many things I don't understand about this.

1. How can the USADA strip him of his titles in France? That's like the Queen of England stripping our NCAA Championships.
2. Why does giving up the fight make the USADA assume guilt? Aren't the 500 passed test enough?
3. How does this suddenly make him guilty in their eyes? It's not like he can suddenly fail a test from a race he was in nearly a decade ago.
4. Why are they trying to so hard to nail him to the wall when the only thing he's done is grown American interested in the sport about 1000% ?

BTW, this just proves the dorkiness of the spandex wearing collection of cyclist.

Fail a drug test? Lifetime ban.
Pass a drug test? Lifetime ban.

Uhhh.... what?

I wish he would sue them in a court where the rule of law reigns, the USADA is a disgrace, IMO!
