I am guessing BL has committed suicide or he is pulling together a
treatise in how he is right and predicted this - what will it be?

you just knew it had jumped the shark after the Outside mag article
that was quoting dopey web sites as sources.

it was all just a cabal of Lafferties. (and if that thought doesn't
make you nauseous you must have a strong stomach)

Also, the Fraudbytes Blog will persevere in seeing this matter
through to its conclusion!

Nuh-uh! Novitsky's a bulldog who will bring LA to Justice! He's got all
that ebay evidence, and Tyler's word, and the Landis testimony, and once
Lance threatened a witness, remember? That alone is worth charges.
They've got Lance nailed, this all a ruse to lull Fabio and Lance into a
false sense of security.

Tuesday, just you wait, you'll see next Tuesday!

The tragic thing for BL is he will go to his grave with LA still
famous, worth a lot of money, still respected in the circles that are
important to LA, still living in his mansions flying around the world
speaking about cancer, and hanging with a beautiful model that looks
like his mom. BL will be a bitter old man pulling out yellow
newspaper articles harassing people in bars about why he is right and
just wait, someday somehow someone will walk the perp to jail..... and
if BL had not been so adamant about how this was all going to happen,
I might actually have some sympathy for him - instead I laughed so
hard I think I blew snot out my ears.

I figure BL will simply shift from the Fed investigation to the
USADA's supposed follow-up, assuming he ever resurfaces here.
Regardless, looks like a year of Tuesdays just went down the toilet.
One thing I've learned in 20+ years on Usenet - when a person's long-
held beliefs on a subject are utterly and completely obliterated by
events and facts, I have yet to see anyone cry "mea culpa" and admit
to being wrong, and own up to what a douche they were for they years
we've put up with their pig-headedness. I don't expect that will
happen here, either.

Whole bunch of folks here are going to have to be put on suicide
watch. Their lives were wrapped around the government was going to put
Lance in prison. The emotional trauma from this will be brutal to
those folks.
