technically he couldnt be bothered fighting them anymore

Armstrong's attorneys contend that he has "passed every drug test ever administered to him in his career - a total of 500 to 600 tests... more drug tests than any athlete in history."

the doping authority is trying to control the sport i assume...

and who can blame them

if you spoke to a neutral what would they be able to tell you.....

Lance Armstrong and doping.....  ::)

[Fletch74]

Sad day for the sport. Many of his ex-teammates dobbed him in...

The French will be dancin' in the streets  :-X

[tbagrocks]

real shame that the people that dog'd him are on drugs to, probably most of them, so why single out Lance?

[Windigo]

No one likes a cheat, it seems doping is rife in cycling.  :o

This one man has made a difference to more people's lives than we could ever imagine. I personally don't care if he had a bionic implant, the man is a Crusader.

People are now saying he will forever be known as a 'cheat'

I will only ever think of him as a 'hero'.

[BratPack]

I don't know. If I knew I was innocent. I'd fight to the death to clear my name. Just saying...
