My (slightly tearful) reaction to the Armstrong news

His sordid history of injecting U.S. National Team juniors with cortisone is far worse, for me, than building his career on Armstrong's success. But that's part of the picture, too. The guy is a slimeball.

I should clarify, I am quite happy with my CTS videos, actually (I like them better than the Spinervals and CTS customer service was been really exceptional in handling a problem I had that was of my own making) and I personally dont really feel de-frauded.
I am merely curious as to where that's going to go, as it seems to have escaped notice for the most part.
If I were a bigger ****** than I am, I'd email them and ask them what's up with this whole thing but as I am a fairly satisfied customer, I'll refrain.

The real heroes are the people who refused to dope no matter what. Who were ready to sacrifice their career but refused to be dishonest. I would like to hear about such people.

I don't know who Armstrong pissed off but somebody had it out for him and wouldn't let it end.

You like millions and millions of taxpayers dollars spent on a witch hunt and nothing been has been proven? Meanwhile drug dealers and major criminals are released because the Justice Dept doesn't have the money or resources to prosecute cases.

Tygart himself said Armstrong would have been able to keep some of his TdF wins .... I think anything prior to the statute of limitations.
But since he didn't, the things he was charged with did not fall under the statute of limitations, so this is how it played out.

their testimony is a relief because they weren't burdened by having to race in their final chance olympics, they don't have to race for a nice 6 month vacation, they are no longer obligated to keep track of some race wins on their resumes from a few years ago, their fans get to celebrate that they are cheaters. just living the good life.

How does one test to see if a rug is doping or not?
