Armstrong says it would have been impossible to have won the Tour without cheating. Well, do what the majority of others do and don't win it then.

He didn't.

He said that when he was racing it would've been impossible to win without doping. Which is fair comment.
More amusingly, ASO have invited every living Tour de France finisher to the final stage of this year's race, except Armstrong.

And Magnus Backstedt, apparently.

A little whisky and crack cocaine never hurt anyone...

I like that mainstream people will now have a completely unnecessary dig:
Why all those backward cunts wear chinos? Posh knobs.

I wondered when this was going to happen!

It's only a small case, and a long way from settled. The SCA case is bigger in many ways, since it specifically turns on the fact that Armstrong perjured himself in order to obtain a settlement - the question is whether his criminal conduct is sufficient to have that civil settlement set aside.
Still far too many commenters failing to see the point in both cases - the issue is not whether Armstrong doped, since the insurers almost certainly didn't have anti-doping clauses in their contracts, but whether he even won the races for which he was paid bonuses. The results management authority is UCI, and if UCI says he didn't win, he didn't win. It's irrelevant whether he doped or not in the particular races under discussion, all that matters is whether the competent authority says he won. The problem, in the general run of contracts, is whether that authorities change of mind can be backdated to affect contracts which have been concluded on the basis of their former opinion.

If the government should have known then so should Livestrong.

I do like the argument that Lance is making. US Postal paid sponsership for the advertising coverage it would generate. They got lots of advertising across all forms of media so got good value. That the means for getting the advertising is now tarnished does not remove the millions of dollars worth of coverage they received at the time, so no financial loss should equal no claim.

Three screenplays in production based on his downfall. Fuck off. Why not get one in production about Lemond? Or someone's upfall.
Won't be watching any wanky production about LA.

Looks like we aren't going to find out how much the Times settled for, but we're getting that little bit closer to those jerseys going on ebay:

The various legal issues will trundle on for another 2 -3 years. Wonder if he has got himself a slot an on trailer park lined up for the future.

His money was in Switzerland at the very least before he went on Oprah. I don't think we'll see poor Lance in the poor house any time soon.
-

^ this. He may be a doper but he is far from stupid. I'm positive that he had every cent he could all safe before he admitted. That would have been crucial for him..

Beyond his grave Armstrong will forever remain a sad, poor and utter and complete cunt regardless of any Swiss bank accounts or hidden money.

Larry has been talking to Le Monde. Some of the usual guff, but more threats to McQuaid and Verbruggen are always fun.
