    I have to agree, anyone surrounded by French people should take drugs to cope.

                I try to stay out of it but ... If they tried to ban him once and failed, trying again for the same charge over the same period is not fair. Independent of all things, you can't just try to find someone guilty of the same charge constantly until you eventually win. Of course I am completely uninformed in the matter. I do not know how many times Lance has beaten the wrap just that it was more than once.

I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                  From my understanding. Everyone who ratted on Lance for taking drugs knew about it cause they were also taking them. Which leads me to believe all cyclists do it. If everyone is doing it than it was an even playing field in which Lance won. Give that man back his titles. :-D

                    At what point does a doper become an unreliable witness? That is the question that occurs to me.

                            Cycling will survive, but for me the film Dodgeball has been ruined. What do they do now, re-shoot, re-edit, just let the film quietly die?

                            I think DodgeBall can hold up, because not only did he refer to his cycling career, but also to surviving his TC, as I recall, so there :wtf:

                            I need a 32 bit unsigned value just to hold the number of coding WTF I see in a day …

                                          Lance has been hounded for years and years. It's just hit the point where enough people came out and put their hand up that it's all happening now.
