Default Ding Dong The Witch is Dead

At least 50% of the clueless asshats who comment after articles in the
NY Times and other major publications actually think Lance bowed out of
the USADA arbitration process because he was innocent and wasn't going
to play their games.

What's frightening is that all of these people are qualified to sit on
juries.

Worried about who will sit on yours?
You should. They find against defendants
that fling poo at them.

I was excused from jury duty once because no one in
my household owned a gun. It was a target shooting case.
First we were asked who didn't own a gun and a clear
minority raised their hands. Then we were asked who
lived in a gun free household and, well, there aren't
very many of us. But that was my ticket to go home.

I have a .177 air rifle and have killed lots of squirrels. On the other
hand I have shagged a lot of birds over the years.

Faggots are/is a weird meat dish over here, BTW. Never tried it and
don't propose to any time soon.

They are also used for starting fires here too (probably work best if you pour
spirits on them first as it would tend to make them scream less).

Step down off your high horses for a minute.

Here's my Facebook piece: Lance Armstrong. A name from a long-lost comic about a tough hero type. All American. Sounds better than Ed Gunderson, though. This was a kid who scared pro triathletes in the late 80s; they had never seen a junior competitor with the kind of staying power Lance had. Later, as he moved into pro cycling, and underwent the various tests pros get, it was discovered Lance had more capacity to run oxygen though his system than most, and the muscles to use that capacity. At first, he was a beefy sprinter/one day racer type, winning the World Championship in 1993. Everybody knows the cancer story, and the memes and tropes attached thereto. I must admit, I never really liked Lance; but I did respect him, and I still do. In an early Tour, he was interviewed, and when asked about winning, he replied, along the lines of, this is a man's game. He was, maybe, 22 or 23. This was pre-cancer. This is a man's game, he said. He was right. Reborn and re-purposed, less muscular but still possessing the same engine, Lance knocked off 7. Seven. Siete. Tours de France. The ghosts of doping and journalism followed him, but to this day, there is not one test result publicly acknowledging he doped. Lance was hounded out of cycling, and will be stripped of his seven Tour titles. Unfortunately, since Jan Ulrich has 'fessed up, and Marco Pantani is dead, the titles won't be easily passed. To have done so much damage, so long after the alleged infractions, with extrajudicial procedures, the IOC, UCI, USADA, and WADA have uniquely, unfairly, and in a chilling manner, robbed Lance Armstrong. And they robbed cycling.

Later, it was determined the USADA can't strip his titles; only the UCI can do that. Also, there have been several attempts to use decades-old tests to "prove" LA doped. Whoopee. If a governing body can't make a solid case in thirty days, they can't make their case. Let the dumb ass chorus begin.

Hey asspipe,

How come USADA could strip Landis from his Tour de France win, but not Lance? Please explain the difference there, you jackass.

Totally agreed.
