Just saw that! So now we are on to Doping Investigation 2.0. When does he just confess and end all this?

Armstrong will lie about it until the day he dies. The Men's Journal article makes it clear that he is has taken to heart what Dubya once said. "You can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool some of the people all the time. Those are the ones you need to concentrate on." He has decided the true believers will believe him no matter what, so there is no reason to tell the truth.

I am bummed. I was enjoying watching Lance kick butt on the triathletes during the bike leg. Now that he has figured out his nutrition with the run, I actually think he had a chance to win Kona. Now we'll never know.

At this point, the whole thing seems a stupid waste of money in my opinion.

Sincerely? The bus left long time ago... too late to catch it. Not a fan of the guy as a person but I believe they have better stuff to do nowadays. This will become a you said, he said stuff again and then 2 more years and stuff.

HE was banned from triathlon, this will include UCI ? if not then he can race.

I am sure it is all down to nutrition on the run.

For a hardcore doper who has been at it for twenty years, beating up pro triathletes, many of whom barely eek out a living, is probably like shooting fish in a barrel.

Armstrong is racing as a professional athlete right now. He was not smart enough to go quietly into retirement like Indurain. Instead he had to keep waving the red cape in front of the bull.

I'm surprised that the USADA didn't wait until June 30th to announce.

That's just not the same type of swift justice it was in the early days of doping...
