Just to be clear none of that means I think they shouldn't go after Lance, just that it's going to be messy

Lance Armstrong, on Alpe d'Huez, smoking a crack.

Ketted off his mind, grinding his way up Cold de Tormalet. Crying.
wouldn't surprise me if that's what he had planned for his happy retirement already. Looks like he likes the occasional dab and it's not like he's morally opposed to shoving unknown shit into his mucous membranes anyway....

not quite the same but reminds me of this

The rider's name who was climbing off is Rene Grelin from the Frimatic-De Gribaldy team. The footage is from Stage 19 of the 1970 Tour de France and they had just climbed the Col du Tourmalet.

Seven-time Tour de France winner says "it's time to play by the rules"
No, Lance, the time to play by the rules was when you were competing under UCI rules.

Interesting. Guess they know their names are going to leak out soon.

Can I recommend a quick trip over to slowtwitch - it's always fucking hilarious - they're setting up petitions on Poor Lance's behalf and writing to their 'Congressmen', whatever they may be.

there's been a huge shift in how the 'average' non-cycling press journalist has been reporting this since Floyd threw his toys out the pram:
http://www.bendbulletin.com/article/20120616/NEWS0107/206160314/
I don't think that article would have been written even a year ago by anyone but the more 'serious' press like the WSJ that broke the Novitsky case... Heartening that it's happening. I still have to restrain myself from looking at the car crash that is the befuddled and moronic replies on the comments section for an article about him though... scary how resolute some people still are that he's a Texan jesus or something.

I climbed mont ventoux two weeks ago with a friend, where we encountered a bunch of very wealthy 40-something americans struggling up on shiny rental madones followed by a fully stocked air conditioned minibus/support crew from a company called 'Trek Tours', which regularly supplied them with drinks and gels before whisking them back to the chateaux for cheese and wine. the yellow bracelets were everywhere. these people have no idea.
for me, personally, contemporary pro cycling was always a joke during the tour de lance years. i've only been able to believe in it recently, i think for the first time in my own lifetime really. this is a good thing. the man is a disgrace. no one who wanted to race clean even had a chance against him and he did it all with an eye on building a business empire. there aren't many public figures outside politics who i actively hate but he is number one.
i just cannot see how it could possibly be damaging for the sport to finally bust the bastard.

If you want to get your head around how intertwined USA Cycling and Lance and the Champions Club got in the 90's @dimspace from www.velorooms.com has compiled a mind-bending chart of how people, companies and governing body are/were interlinked in the 90's.
Random fact number 1, Thomas Weisel who funded Tailwind Sports, and took over USA Cycling and installed his own staff there also part-owns Amgen via his investment bank. #seemslegit

Surely any athlete who has been tested for drugs over 500 times without a positive must be guilty of perverting the course of justice.
