Ladies and Gentlemen, okay, maybe just d-bags is a better description, we have Mr. Tygart on LRC posing as Mr. Obvious. Mr. Obvious, I mean, Mr. Tygart, just how many threads do their need to be on this "running webite" about Lance Armstrong? And how many posts do you personally feel you need to make regarding him and livestrong? I mean, your posting on this subject matter is just downright pathetic and sad. You must dream of Lance, and probably in that speedo he wore for his last triathlon.
Tygart is riding at full speed on his political bicycle. He and his interns have to spin the political wheels as fast as possible.
Guess what, it isn't working. In the end, Armstrong passed all the tests. If anything was indeed taken it was below what in testing is called the "threshold limit." That is the point where, either the testing equipment cannot anything, or where whatever you took does not enhance performance.
Tygart is delusional. He has demand that the Attorney Generals from every state sue every pharmaceutical manufacturer. He seems to want pharmaceutical manufacturers of supplements to be forced to hire the USADA to test their products, to make sure no naughty drugs lurk inside.

The only perjury that I know of might have been in the SCA depositions. He is not going to jail for perjury in a civil suit.
I don't know about the US, but in the UK you can certainly go to jail for perjury in a civil suit (e.g. Jeffrey Archer). You can also be charged with "perverting the course of justice".
There is also some talk in the UK of trying to bring a conviction for fraud, in relation to the libel action that Armstrong brought against the Sunday Times some years ago.
I think his confession should be part of the Super Bowl halftime show. He could go on right before Beyonce. Talk about ratings...
This is the right answer.
Don't forget that admitting he doped also means that he admits to having committed perjury, which as Marion Jones knows can land you in jail.
It also means the USPS case is likely to be reopened, and he'd be flooded with court cases as sponsors/people he silenced try to get a piece of his wealth.
He's trapped by the lie. He can't admit to anything, unless he's willing to go to jail for a year or so and wave goodbye to a lot of his money.
Hopefully though he'll be tried for perjury anyway and still go to jail. It's the least he deserves.
What about fraud? Can he get charged with defraudung the government through his USPS sponsorship?
Keeping this thread on topic, this is a very good read:

I predict that Romney (if he wins) will appoint Lance to head the Ministry of Truth.
You guys are living in La-La Land. Lance is toast. Tygart did his job well. Get over it. Take the yellow wristband off.
I'm sticking with never.
It's a nice idea for a prediction contest, but so far, Armstrong's behavior has been completely irrational: he must have known for months what was coming, and he clearly missed the point to come clean. No way of knowing when he will confess now - the same lawyers who told him not to admit it before probably still advise him, and with the upcoming cases (Sunday Times libel, prize money insurance, possibly criminal), there's a lot more on the line for him now.
Maybe the best way forward would be to just admit everything, pay up, and start again - like David Millar, only much more famous. Unfortunately, he seems to live in his own bubble now, so I'm beginning to lose faith that this will ever happen.
It won't happen, ever. I don't know Lance, but from his interviews and what has been written about him, he has an ego the size of Texas. Google narcissistic personality disorder and there will be a picture of Lance.
I've always been a fan of his, even though I don't ride. I don't think that he was any more of a doper than anyone other rider at the time. It was an accepted culture - for the most part.
He may give some Tiger Woodsesque press conference, but as him saying, "I've lived a lied - I was a doper - I'm sorry", it won't happen.

For someone who doesn't know Lance, you sure think you know a lot about him as a person. Wow.

His new book being published now is called "It's Not About The Dope."
Wow, how original of you.

One can learn a great deal from reading/watching an individual for many years. Same with Tiger Woods. I don't know him, but I have him pretty pegged as well. I've seen him play a lot of golf, heard interviews from his friends/coaches/etc. and know what type of individual he is. His debacle was also brought on by his personality disorder as well. Yes, I'm in the field.
DEATH BED!!!!!!! 2052-2062
You too have a personality disorder? ;-)
I predict he will confess when he sees us in hell
