    why?

    1) cheat
    2) get caught
    3) face consequences

    step 2 is taking longer than normal because lance was/is better funded than many others and was able to cover his tracks better.

    Back OT - Revoking LA tour victories would be silly since there is no one to give them to who hasn't been similarly charged. You might as well put an asterisk by them and label him the fastest of the dopers. I'm sure ten time tour winner Greg Lemond has a different idea.

    I think the there is the question of what is gray area/technically not cheating, also the norm within the sport, etc. I don't condone it, but it appears that most are somewhere are on the continuum, much like body builders. The movie Bigger, Stronger, Faster definately makes it less black and whate (for me at least) Good movie, anyway.

    I could agree with that. Cycling's version of the All-Drug Olympics.

    Or baseball stats.

    But it would be funny if they went down the list and some dude nobody has ever heard of turns out to have one all of them in the last 10 years because he is the only one who never cheated.

    So will this turn into a big legal deal like the baseball doping stuff where all the baseball Dopey Dopertons were facing jail time for lying to the grand jury.....or something?

    That would be HIGH-larious if Lance went to jail

    The government dropped its investigation. Maybe they could pick it up again?

    I'm guessing the majority of Tour racers are guilty of doping. Lanthh is just the fastest of them.

    Would be curious to know though if he doped the following year after Wiensy handed him his ass in Leadville some years ago.

    I wonder if he banged Sheryl Crow while he was doping? Maybe she should seek some level of retribution for all the times he couldn't finish the job.

    He's like the John Gotti or Bill Clinton of Cycling. Things might stick to him, but it won't be of consequence as we love him still for beating those horrid Frenchies!
