Scary.
I am sorry! You are a horrible and uncredible witness. Did I say that anywhere? Or, did I simply re-state the fact that it was dismissed? Your credibility is now zero as someone who knows anything. Now, if you would like to talk to what I have requested--that being admissable evidence directly linking PED's and Lance then please provide it. I am sure the SI reporter would appreciate the help since they fell well short of the task.
This is always how I've felt about it. All of the accusations against Lance are by fired former employees and people trying to save their skin by implicating others.
The people accusing Lance in this thread are clearly driven beyond rationality in their hatred. He's definitely an arrogant dickhead at times, but that's not a reason to find him guilty of doping or to malign his reputation.
Here's what I think is amazing. After years of digging around on the guy, this is the best that they come up with? By any reasonable standard, it is weak evidence at best. Not nearly enough form civil court and certainly nothing that would pass the reasonable doubt standard.
But the hoopleheads will keep going crazy every time there's a Lance story. They are all legal/medical/biomechanical experts and they just know that he's guilty because of tainted allegations/performance/metabolism/hearsay.
Any rational person can look at this and admit that there's a chance that Lance doped, The reason why I find it unlikely is that he's been under more scrutiny than any other athlete in history. There is zero credible evidence to date that could sustain an allegation that he used peds. If there was, he'd have been in court already.
But every time there's a no substance story like this SI piece promising more salacious allegations, the letsrun Lance hater brigade will froth at the mouth. You guys are amusing with your vitriol and indignation.
Think on this a bit. Lance is the kind of guy who feeds off of this stuff. He's still making commercials and doing foundation work and hobnobbing with celebs.
He's an arrogant jerk, for sure. But if he AND everyone else is dirty like most of you see to believe, then what's the big deal? Why do you have so much invested in seeing him torn down?
