Thanks for the link! I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone anymore, does it? Is there really anyone out there who still believes LA was clean?
War. War never changes. The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted: Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones.

Sure LA is clean! He made tons of payments to Ferrari, both directly and through fronts, and Ferrari gave him the perfectly legal advice to increase his pedaling cadence. Sure it was expensive advice, but you can't argue with success.

Also to train 365 days a year. That lazy Jan Ullrich would take a week off in December, which is why he never beat Lance. See? Ferrari was worth every penny.

Don't forget the power bars! While Jan was stuffing himself with black forest cake all the time...
I stand corrected.

BTW ...
Whatever happened to Armstrong's impending doom at the hands of Novitsky ?
I guess that investigation died a death.
I wonder how much tax payer's money was wasted on that ego trip ? Somebody needs to tell Novitsky to get a proper job and stop being a parasite.

Just trying to help out my distant cousins.
People here can hate all they want but Armstrong's legacy, both on and off the bike, is hard to beat ... fact.

His legacy?- that he is a lying drug cheat who never won a monument or even once raced Paris-Roubaix? That's not much of a legacy! I kid, I kid...

No sure about that. This agent is very methodical, thorough. He also knows that against Lance all his ducks must be lined up in a row, little room for error. This investigation is running across borders, and that can take quite some time.
The leaks that appeared on 60 minutes likely indicates that they want public exposure; if this was leaked knowingly by him and his inner circle, I suspect, given how Novitsky works, that they have something of legal significance to offer, we will have to wait and see.
