Lance Armstrong appears finally to have run out of rope. (Read 2693 times)

    Totally a guess, but I am thinking that he will announce that the cancer has returned... which may change the tone of things.

      It would be extremely rare for testicular cancer to recur after this long (majority that do are within only 2 years) but anything is possible.

      2013 goals:  Kick some arse.  Moreso than 2012.

        The Olympics may drop cycling because of him.

         

        Absolutely. They should focus on the sports that have always been clean, like track & field, and weight lifting.

        The process is the goal.

        Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.

          just returned to the LA thread for the 1st time in a couple weeks, and I laughed.

          Thank you!  Good Morning!

          Cheers,

            Perhaps we will learn that he never really had cancer (reference to the Notre Dame story this week about the fake girlfriend's death).

              It appears their concern is not so much that there was endemic doping in the sport, but that the governing body either turned a blind eye or was complicit in the activity.  If you read Dick Pound's quote, removing them from the Olympics would be a tactic to force the UCI to clean house and prove that they are partners in trying to run a clean sport, rather than part of the problem.  It was also mentioned that a similar threat WAS used with the weightlifting federation.

                Its well deserved.

                 

                Also hearing that his Boston marathon PR might be tainted as well. But, no prizes to give back for a 246.
