So the man who never gives up a fight has given up the fight. I find this very telling. If Lance Armstrong really is innocent of doping he would fight tooth and nail to protect his name, his reputation and his legacy. Armstrong has spent a good deal of his career bad mouthing anybody who threatened to derail him. Not even in an intelligent way. He just besmirched their names and being the powerful man he WAS the chattering classes nodded in agreement. Times up Lance. Even if you are innocent the mask has slipped. For all the undoubted good you have done for cancer sufferers worldwide you have done great harm to cycling and many of your fellow competitors in the way you have gone about your business.

I personally am glad for the sport that it has come to this and now the stories are coming out i am glad that the people who have stood against him are finally getting vindication for their bravery. Stand up David Walsh, Paul Kimmage, Christophe Bassons et al!
