Ha. No, but after reading it I’ve just been waiting for one of these threads.
First, they have all the evidence in the world and Armstong’s team stopped the trial.
Second, what legislator is trying to pass a bill that declares Armstrong guilty?
Here's just one of them. Sorry I don't know how to hotlink.

They passed a bill that create the USADA and that government organization has done so. Are you really that dense not to understand that?
I couldn’t care less what evidence that you think is against him. It is simply not the governments job to pronounce him guilty without trial. That is abuse of power and unconstitutional. If he is guilty of a crime then charge him, otherwise the government is to shut up. Bills of Attainder are not constitutional.
If you think he is guilty then you are entitled to your opintion but supporting abuse of power through Bills of Attainder is not a conservative value.
But the USADA has not had a trial yet. What’s your point?
Why worry about what pro athletes stuff into their bodies to entertain us?
Amateurs are a totally different subject.
Kristin: Marriage problems were "brought on gradually by a number of pressures, rather than one big blow-up. We've been together 4 1/2 years, and we've had six homes, three languages, three countries, one cancer comeback, three children, four Tour de France wins and one rise to celebrity. You're not supposed to cram such a huge amount of events into such a small period of time." 2/2003.
Lance: "The craziest thing is, we're [Lance and Kristin] closer now and better friends than ever before. We're truly committed to maintaining a good relationship, but not a marriage." 9/2003

USADA report reveals USADA as the greatest fraud in American sports.
Time to shut down the USADA.
There is zero evidence that Armstrong ever ‘cheated.’
Here’s a radical thought. For professionals, open the gates. Let every jackass in baseball, football, hockey, NASCAR, PGA, cycling, MMA, NBA, boxing, everything use all the drugs they want. Term limit them to five years of play.
I’d love to see an 85-yard field goal, a 900 foot home run, a 600 yard drive or any other sort of super-human feat. They’re grown-ups and they should be able to do what they want.
It’s cynical and cold but you’re not going to stop the arms race of performance enhancing drugs. Limit play to five years and maybe s significant portion will get out alive.
Oh, I’m sorry. Did they accuse him of a crime? The USADA is not a gov’t agency. It’s the testing body for his sport. They aren’t throwing him in jail. They took away his trophies. I think we can all get on with our lives.
I did buy the book, but haven't read it yet. I'll get to it at some point (although my husband will probably grab it before I get a chance).
That's why I just said "I don't know what to think". I'm not defending Armstrong... I just don't know all the facts yet.
I will have to agree with you. So how about someone like LeMond? Was he doping?
He will be out done when Obama gets fully exposed.
