I wish more people had the same attitude towards Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds as they do towards Lance. In hindsight, both those cases seem like a giant waste of time and resources.

Last month came the news that four former team-mates of Armstrong were about to testify against him as part of the United States Anti Doping Agency investigation into the cyclist. This may well have been the straw that broke the camel's back, not least because one of the quartet was George Hincapie, Armstrong's faithful domestique who rode by his side in all seven Tour wins. Unlike Hamilton and Landis, who'd both been caught for doping, Hincapie was about to retire from the sport with a clean record. He could not be portrayed as a drug cheat who wanted to take the great man down along with him out of spite." I don't think enough if being made out of Hincapie accusing Lance. He is absolutely destroying his own legacy (which is very impressive on its own) to turn against Lance. He's getting a reduced suspension for testifying, but he's retiring before the suspension even begins, so he's not gaining anything there...

That's all folks... "The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalized, and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," according to a statement today by USADA's CEO, Travis T. Tygart. "The evidence demonstrates that the 'Code of Silence' of performance-enhancing drug use in the sport of cycling has been shattered." www.cbsnews.com/8301-504803_162-57530044-10391709/usada-report-slams-lance-armstrong/

Did someone mention the Cone of Silence?
