What? Long before the pre-...The integrity of sport? What? Long before the pre-Oprah rumors were circulating, USADA previously sought a deal with Lance Armstrong, very much the same deal that was given to his colleagues. However, Lance Armstrong chose not to take it - twice. If the 6-month or 2-yr ban was what he really wanted he should have taken those when offered. But no, Lance Armstrong was too heavily invested in (whatever) to do it. Yes, he's special! This posting just looks silly after that limited Doprah confession. UCI's structural problem (promoter and enforcer) is obvious. Did L.A. milk it? Quite likely. Did he ever want to fess up on it to USADA? Not likely. Especially since they couldn't swing blanket immunity for him.Allynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315683767760256805noreply@blogger.com
