I just wanted to see what sort of stupid BS you were going to spew.

As far as the corticosteroids go, I guess you just skipped right over the part that said, "A urine sample taken from Armstrong shows corticosteroid in an amount not in the positive range." Got that, "not is the positive range". Perhaps that's why the UCI let him slide on producing the prescription. Or perhaps it is some sort of grand conspiracy involving Armstrong, the UCI, the feds, black helicopters, and whatever else you can come up with to get Lance to a record number of titles.

Nice to see you agree with me that we actually don't know whether those were Armstrong's samples that were tested or not. L'Equipe didn't know either, they were just writing copy to shake up a scandal and sell copy. So those allegations turn out to be baseless.

As far as the judge goes, I guess you didn't go to the link I provided. What, do I have to copy and paste the whole article?
"As mystifying as USADA's election to proceed at this date and in this manner may be, it is equally perplexing that these three national and international bodies are apparently unable to work together to accomplish their shared goal - the regulation and promotion of cycling. However, if these bodies wish to damage the image of their sport through bitter infighting, they will have to do so without the involvement of the United States courts," Sparks wrote.

The decision agreed with Armstrong's argument that he was not provided with an adequate charging document."

That not only goes against the USADA's own rules, but against Constitutional procedure as well.

In the end, no positive tests and lots of innuendo and jealousy.

So where's the Armstrong legal defense fund? KeepItReal Aug 2012 #1
Would you want to keep being subjected to investigations, MadHound Aug 2012 #3

Having raced against LeMond (wow!), you must be aware of what was going on during the Armstrong era. DanTex Aug 2012 #15
I raced him, I wasn't close sarisataka Aug 2012 #17

Yep. Mika Aug 2012 #10

Seriously, your quote from the prosecutor doesn't contradict what I'm saying in any way at all. DanTex Aug 2012 #36
So in other words, no, you have bupkis, no facts whatsoever MadHound Aug 2012 #37
But you're the one trying to put words in the prosecutor's mouth. DanTex Aug 2012 #39
I'm quoting the prosecutor, MadHound Aug 2012 #40
Yes, but, again, the quote from the prosecutor doesn't support your case at all. DanTex Aug 2012 #42
First of all, MadHound Aug 2012 #43
Here: DanTex Aug 2012 #44
Well, you're finally coming up with some "facts", about time. MadHound Aug 2012 #46
Well, these facts have been known for several years. It's pretty surprising that you didn't know... DanTex Aug 2012 #47
Oh, I knew what you were referring to, MadHound Aug 2012 #48
