    If I were him I would say "I had cancer assholes, maybe steroids were prescribed to me by my doctors, however it's my right according to HIPPA to keep my medical records private." Done.

    Steroids and other performance enhancing drugs should not be banned for athletes.

    I mean...Viagra is a performance enhancing drug, and we all think that is cool. :cool:

    I still don't think he's actually going to fully confess. It will be some sort of half apology about unstated transgressions. He just can't say "throughout my career, I used performance enhancing drugs/techniques and used masking agents to systematically evade getting caught". He won't say it.

    He will say he did it but "everyone did". He may have a point. Only one Tour de France finalist since 1999 has not been implicated in doping. TdF experts say that doping has existed since the tour began on 1903.

    I just read that the statute of limitations on any perjury charges he would have, have run their course and he is not at risk criminally from a perjury standpoint. That makes more sense. Also, experts speculate that he can settle any other lawsuits and still have plenty of dough to spare. It sounds like he admitted it but I'm sure he's going to be a condescending self righteous asshole as he does.

    I don't have time to read through the entire thread at the moment so I apologize if it's already been discussed. Someone mentioned yesterday on the radio that LiveStrong has taken in huge revenues in the past but only paid out a small fraction to cancer research. They used Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's as a comparison, which actually donates the bulk of the donations to research.

    The point was that LiveStrong allows Lance to live in a 1st class manner (they even have a high end jet for his use) and that Lance takes too much advantage of LiveStrong than he should. Can anyone elaborate or put some numbers behind it?

    I saw this morning they, Livestrong, released a statement along the lines of moving forward "Independently" to continue to help cancer victims......in other words, without Lance.

    I could be totally off with this, but I heard this morning (on Mike and Mike) that Livestrong's main a objective was helping people cope and live with cancer. So maybe the donations were more to the people and not the research. But again I am only listening to Mike and Mike and drawing my own conclusions.
