Lance Armstrong To Admit Doping On Oprah

What, a few million bucks and a jet? Yeah... You're right. Same as AIG execs. ;)

Oh, he may have lived the high life for a while, but it lights out for 'ole Lance. No recovery. He will lose everything and since it was all based on a reputation that will forever be destroyed, he will never get any of it back. It is often tougher to experience luxury and lose it all disgracefully than to never have it in the first place. Lance will die a miserable man.

I don't think it is quite the same as AIG Execs......how many folks on the street would recognize an AIG Exec if they passed them in the mall or at a grocery store? Lance will forever be haunted by people that will recognize him on the street as the total scumbag he is. People that 5 years ago would want his autograph are now going to see him and want to spit in his face. Prison is too kind - it would actually shield him from that kind of exposure.

The crappy part is the lives of folks he destroyed in the process of trying to maintain the facade. I am not sure that can be reversed, but sending him to prison won't repair that either.

Unless you live in Iowa or your first name is Wayne stealing, lying under oath, intimidating witnesses is illegal and should be criminaly prosecuted. Why does he get a pass?

Ethics means something, telling the truth means something, playing by the rules means something.

We live in a country governed by law.
We live in a country were there is equal protection under the law.
We live is a country were no one is above the law.

Yet, some "pilots" here don't know or care about it. They would rather mount personal attacks than debate the issue.

No one is above the Law? Ask Richard Nixon.. ask Lyndon Johnson ....oh wait THEY got away with it......I guess because they WERE the Law!

Not quite. He'll write a book and make millions because will want to know how he got away with it for so long, why he did it in the first place and of course his side of the story.

Don't believe it? Why are we wasting time talking about him on the Internet?

'Cuz we're bored and have too much time on our hands.


He can certainly try that, but you know that every single person he screwed along the way will be lining up with their lawyers to get at any money he makes.

I know this...I sure don't envy him nor do I feel any sorrow for him. He is just a D-bag.

He'll become a highly compensated consultant to the sanctioning organizations.
