Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

Don't.

He was the instigator, just look at the USADA charge sheet. Others may have doped, like him, but he was the driving force behind a widespread conspiracy to facilitate team wide doping across a ten year period. That's why his sentence was harsher.

Ok, so life ban and stripped of 7 TdF titles v 6 month ban, palmares untouched.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Armstrong doesn't deserve it. but there are plenty of others that deserve more than they have got, and plenty more that will get away scot-free.

It seems to run along the lines of cheat and be a cunt and we'll crucify you, cheat and be pretty sound and have a funny goatee and we'll look the other way.

I dunno, its a mess, we'll see which way Cookson goes.
