in a single wide, cooking meth...
also, and more importantly, my understanding is that if he does admit to it, he would be guilty of perjury for saying, under oath, that he didn't dope
That's what I was assuming, and figured it was similar in principal to Roger Clemens case. Hmm, Tejas and PED fiends...Maybe Lance can play shortstop for the Astros if/when they ever drag Roger back to bump. If you're going to finish 40+ games out of 1st place in the division, might as well have fun with it. Maybe hand out free bobble-syringes to first 1,000 fans or something.

I wonder if Lance is regretting chasing down George in that stage these days...

All of this could have been avoided by Lance making one phone call to Trek to get Landis set up there with a lifetime job doing nothing. Would have cost Trek 100k a year.

Hubris.
His style was never to buy someone off but to threaten and intimidate people. Why spend money to purchase ones favor when you can buy lawyers to do your best to threaten ruin. Not hubris, asshole.

you know what i'd love to do? go to a race that the uniballer is in, then when he passes by me, run after him with an IV bag full of red kool-aid yelling "lance stop you dropped this!"

Yeah, a lot of that, but with Floyd specifically, and Tyler later (he didn't spiral downhill as fast as Landis) I think hubris came into it.

If you look at what happened to Landis (the guy basically lost everything that was important in his life) it's really hard to bully someone who has nothing left to lose. Could have just been plain stupidity by Lance as well to not recognize that. But yeah, just a huge helping of asshole. More gaping than the goatse guy.

You know who really comes out of this looking great? Betsy Andreu, Walsh and Kimmage, and Lemond. Funny how life works out sometimes.

If I was Lance I would take picture of my ass, and a pic of my bank statement. I would then charge a news outlet to publish it so that the whole world could kiss my ass...

NORCAL is the hizzle
I bought "Every Second Counts" for $1 this weekend. There is some priceless stuff in there, particularly with all this new stuff coming to light.

The thing that gets me is his whole "holier than thou" thing. The illusion was shattered for me years ago, but it really bugs me when you blatantly lie, use your money and position to destroy your detractors, and do it all from a high horse.

Is it bad that this makes me want to try it too? Maybe not the juice but the HGH and possibly EPO.
no, it's not... i already asked a good friend of mine who is a pharmacist. she told me, that it's no problem getting some EPO, it's just, that it's f*ckin' expensive... a ten-pack EPO (dunno what the real measuring unit is, but it's for ten treatments) costs here in yurp ca. 500,-€... i guess i stay with viagra... :D

Checking into the HGH here in Canada it doesn't seem hard to get and its not technically illegal for personal use. Same goes for juice here.

A few years back I was attending some marketing workshop. The speaker was talking about how he help a few doctors market themselves to parents who wanted their children to perform better in sports. I talked to the guy afterwards and it seemed that these doctors would give teenagers HGH so they would grow taller so they could be more successful in certain sports.

But remember kids, marijuana is bad. mmmkay.
