Well the proverbial is going to hit the fan, from what snippets I've heard, Armstrong is saying the top people knew about it.

Were they top people or people at the top?

All small ball bicycle helmet wearing drug addicts in my opinion.

Well there is one thing for sure, if they are talking about dropping it from the olympics, the proverbial will hit the fan.
I think the wick has been lit and this will blow sky high, it will become self perpetuating and a lot of people are going down the tube.lol

Which only confirms what has been said since 2005. The head of the UCI all but admitted to Dick Pound back in 2004 or 2005 that most, if not all, cyclists on the Tour were doping. It was something along the lines of "the fans want to see them race faster, so we let them race faster..."
 
When I say no fool he's intelligent he's kept the authorities at bay for a very long time.

Do you think he had help ?

Bloody oath and thats the next chapter.

All modern sport has been bastardised by "officials", from Arabic World Cup bids to this debacle in Small Ball Cycling.

How about how Armstrong set out to destroy a woman and her husband after she reported him for doping in 96.

Man is a complete dog full stop.

Just saw this article.

The Small, Petty, Fraudulent Vendettas of Lance Armstrong

Let's talk Betsy Andreu, the wife of one your former teammates, Frankie. Both Andreus testified under oath that they were in a hospital room in 1996 when you admitted to a doctor to using EPO, HGH and steroids. You responded by calling them "vindictive, bitter, vengeful and jealous." And that's the stuff we can say on TV.

Would you now label them as "honest?"

And what would you say directly to Betsy, who dealt with a voicemail from one of your henchmen that included, she's testified, this:

"I hope somebody breaks a baseball bat over your head. I also hope that one day you have adversity in your life and you have some type of tragedy that will ... definitely make an impact on you.."

What do you say to Emma O'Reilly, who was a young Dublin native when she was first hired by the U.S. Postal team to give massages to the riders after races?

In the early 2000s, she told stories of rampant doping and how she was used to transport the drugs across international borders. In the USADA report, she testified that you tried to "make my life hell."

Her story was true, Lance, wasn't it? And you knew it was true. Yet despite knowing it was true, you, a famous multimillionaire superstar, used high-priced lawyers to sue this simple woman for more money than she was worth in England, where slander laws favor the famous. She had no chance to fight it.

She testified that you tried to ruin her by spreading word that she was a prostitute with a heavy drinking problem.

"The traumatizing part," she once told the New York Times, "was dealing with telling the truth."
