he will lose in arbitration, whether or not he is innocent. that's the point moondog Send a noteboard - 28/08/2012 03:55:38 PM
whether or not he failed 100 tests, you'd think that would be the kind of thing that got reported in all these stories about him since he walked away from arbitration. yes, arbitration, not an actual trial with a chance of appeal. also, the UCI has not actually stripped armstrong of any wins yet, they seem to believe that he has not tested positive for any banned drugs, or are at least willing to hear the actual evidence provided to them.

look, i know you seem to have a personal vendetta against armstrong for some reason, whatever that may be. i know i have my own share of athletes i just can't stand to see succeed. but the fact still remains that the USADA is the only one seemingly concerned with this case, everyone else who has any influence seems to be on armstrong's side. if we took the lot of them to arbitration with USADA maybe there would be a fair hearing. as it is, the USADA will win arbitration no matter what the facts are so he is simply walking away from the process because he knows he will lose either way.
