D'oh!!

Maybe he'll finally get what he deserves.

He'll get what's coming to him?

From who? Santa? The Easter Bunny?

Dream on....

Yes!

Why Lance? Why, why why. You said you didn't do it and now this.

"In the 15-page charging letter obtained by The Post, USADA made previously unpublicized allegations against Armstrong, alleging it collected blood samples from Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were “fully consistent with blood ma­nipu­la­tion including EPO use and/or blood transfusions.” Armstrong has never tested positive."

If this is true, then Lance is going down as one of the biggest idiots of all time. He gets away with the doping he did while winning seven Tours, but then jeopardizes it during an old man comeback.

His ego couldn't handle not being near the top of the heap.

So why did they wait 2 years if this is true. He did over 500 tests and has been heavily scrutinized for a long time. Sounds like a setup and a desperation move.

The entire tour de france is doped. Triathletes obviously are clean for the most part or they wouldn't be losing to lance by 10 minutes.

Finally, the ball cancer is gonna get his Clemens. Time to start a class action lawsuit against this POS.

Still sucking his balls after all these years. 500 times?

I love after all that's happened, the Lance fanboys still cling on to every straw.

Kick out Bruyneel while they're at it.

That really seems like a poorly written article to me, as it states that this could cause Lance to lose his 7 TdF titles. I do not think that is accurate as there is a statute of limitations. Also it is unclear how much is based on the recent samples and how much is based on other testimony or "non-analytical positives"

This is just wild speculation, but supposing he didn't dope in 2009,10 and his blood profiles/"biological passport" were significantly different from earlier years, that might be interpreted as being "fully consistent with blood manipulation" during the earlier time period.

His lawyer says he has done over 500 tests and never failed one. So where is this coming from? I hope Lance fights this attempt to convict on innuendo hard.

Marion Jones had 150 tests or something while she was using too.

It was dodgy blood values on the bio-passport scheme. (The IAAF are pretending to do the same in track and field, but it could mean uncovering a problem in a part of the world where they're not keen to uncover problems.)

The evidence is clearly there in his blood numbers. There's no way they would have done this if they didn't have something pretty big.

Remember, this is not from the time he was winning the TDF, it was during his 'comeback years'.

I think this time, it could be a serious problem for him.

In its letter, USADA said \"with the exception of Mr. Armstrong, every other U.S. rider contacted by USADA regarding doping in cycling agreed to meet with USADA . . .”

Wow, you guys really have it in for Lance Armstrong. I haven't followed this story before, would someone enlighten me?
