A pox on Lance Armstrong, USADA, and WADA [View all]

These two articles should give people a good look at most of the players in the Armstrong hot mess?
I do not believe Armstrong. That is my opinion after reading about him over the years.

However, USADA and WADA are cabals of officious people who are likely to make nonsensical and arbitrary rulings. They both should be disbanded and new people and guidelines put in place. That they determine anything more than what they want for breakfast is a crime against the competitors.
