Armstrong Drops Fight Against Doping Charges

Can't say as I blame him. The entire thing is ludicrous...

But Now his former teammates are happily giving new evidence... Enough for the doping agency to finally hit that nail into the coffin.

They got caught and didn't want to go down alone...

"I am a retired cyclist, yet USADA has lodged charges over 17 years old despite its own 8-year limitation. As respected organizations such as UCI and USA Cycling have made clear, USADA lacks jurisdiction even to bring these charges."

Sheesh...

I can't help but wonder if politics are somehow involved. The French have been after him for years because they just can't accept that an American won "their" precious race seven times...

Absolutely it did. Tygart has had it out for Lance for a long time.

"Nobody wins when an athlete decides to cheat with dangerous performance enhancing drugs, but clean athletes at every level expect those of us here on their behalf, to pursue the truth to ensure the win-at-all-cost culture does not permanently overtake fair, honest competition" USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in the release. "Any time we have overwhelming proof of doping, our mandate is to initiate the case through the process and see it to conclusion as was done in this case."

The problem is they don't have overwhelming proof... they have no proof. They also have no jurisdiction over the Tour de France results... they can't strip him of his titles... They also have an 8 year limit, so they can't go back further than 2004.

Good luck finding the LeBaron...

I have a line on an '89 that was previously owned by Jon Voight.

Was there a chewed pencil in the glove box?

Yes. Hold on I'm following a mail truck in Ohio full of aluminum cans driving erratically towards Michigan.

Me too, it would involve a monkey, can of simonize, 3 bean bags and a Lebaron convertible.

I...


Don't want to know.

One of my neighbors owns one, but it isn't a convertible. Maybe you can convert it for Chet.

I cut the top off of a Pontiac Astre back in the late 80's. I went through lots of those cars as I kept blowing head gaskets on the cheap little 140 cid motors. I could do a complete swap out in less then 2 hours.

Be careful... I heard someone painted over some of the lane lines on a stretch of the freeway.

That did throw me off, but the extra wide lanes were very nice. Dang, just ran over someones golf clubs.

Do you really need the cans of beans or would a bag of dried beans work?

Were they still holding them? That would be bad.

Really? What would the monkey do with those?

Well, that's why I'm asking.

Waitaminit! I thought he *did* ask for bags of beans. Where did the cans come from?

And, I thought the monkey was supposed to Simonize the LeBaron.

I'm being dyslexic today. I mixed it up. Whoops. Arm the monkey with bags of simonize then.
