Couple of notes on the case. They have settled and paid Lance the money he is owed.
As for weather or not it's a big deal that LA took PED prior to his TdF wins, it is. LA has continually stated the he HAS NEVER TAKEN A PED. That was NEVER. In my book never means NEVER.
I could care less if he did or he didn't, because like some others here on BF I believe they all dope so essentially it's an even playing field. I also believe that LA would have trounced the competition if they were all clean as well.
