That was my real question, what was the point.

The dude has been fighting the charges for years, and has always come out on top, why waste more money on a lawyer just to repeat it again next year with some other group?

Would your hurt or their joy go away?

Nope...

If I got to watch somebody take that trophy out of the case, smash it with a sledgehammer and then piss on the fragments, yeah, it would make me feel better.

You don't know that. You may want to believe that, however, as does USADA.

I have 2.5 weeks of vacation saved up but my camera is pretty old...

And a group which doesn't have the power or jurisdiction to strip Armstrong of his TDF victories. USADA is also tax-payer funded.

Oh no. Please don't tell me that you're going to come down on the, "It's Obama trying to destroy an American icon!" theory that I've seen passed off in a few places.

As long as your out there, be sure to grab Denver's horseshit '98 super bowl trophy as well. I'd like to melt that down into a toilet seat.

Not at all. Just stating a fact.

Ok, so for all you people that think NASA is a waste of money I'm ready to take arguments on why litigation vs. a guy with one nut who rides a bicycle for a living isn't...

Yup, the whole thing is a complete head scratcher. Especially after he retired.

I wonder what the reasoning would be for their actions if he wasn't cheating.

There's only one group of people that thinks an American with one nut can't take out all of Europe.

Hint: they're pissed off and in Europe...

Travis Tygart's ego, possibly.

Yep. Lance has passed enough tests and won enough times in courts on two continents. He doesn't have to defend himself in these endless witch hunts anymore.
**** USADA. They need to focus their efforts on current athletes instead of wasting tax $$ on trying to make an example of a legend.

Yeah, whatever. The French don't control the USADA.
