I assume they have proof of his guilt? Seems like they've been working hard to get him?

He's not fighting because the curtain is on the floor.

The guy is a douchebag of the highest order. It's a little hard to fight when 5 of your former teammates AND some of the spouses will testify that you're a doper and a cheater.

It's one thing to dope and cheat. It's quite another to parade yourself around and proclaim to be some bastion of virtue and heroism.

If you cheat, you should just keep your mouth shut and be humble about your ill-gotten gains.

Maybe if he wasn't such an arrogant douche, they'd keep their mouths shut.

This is what did it for me.......

More likely, they wouldn't make any accusations if they hadn't been caught themselves by standard drug tests. Now it's a way for them to 'rehabilitate' their own reputations.

Whether Lance doped or not who knows. But it is ridiculous 7 tour titles can be stripped when not one single doping test was ever failed out of hundreds. Witness account years later should not be enough. Kangaroo Court.

I don't blame him for not continuing to fight it and go to arbitration. It is kind of like trying to go to arbitration to fight your property taxes. You cannot win no matter how good your case.

"The day I became a winning trader was the day it became boring. Daily losses no longer bother me and daily wins no longer excited me. Took years of pain and busting a few accounts before finally got my mind right. I survived the darkness within and now just chillax and let my black box do the work."
