Title: USADA
Post by: bsmooth on July 12, 2012, 11:42:58 pm
Do you think they are legitimately going after Lance and his doctor's, or is this seem like a witch-hunt about 7 years too late?

It's a witch hunt.  I think what all these trials proved is that a lot more athletes than we thought are on something.  Somebody has to take the fall and they need a name to bring down to justify themselves.  It really doesn't matter at this point because now everybody knows most athletes are on the shit.

I find it hard to believe Armstrong was the only clean guy on a team that has shown to have been full of dirty cyclists.  I want to believe him, but wow is it difficult to do so...

If Lance was drug tested, and he passed the tests, then this is all BS, with peoples egos and jealousy fueling this.

May I ask why the government cares?  Sports is entertainment.  The United States government has no business getting involved.  Work on making laws that will help the country rather than persecuting one guy for maybe taking some stuff to make him ride his bike faster.

It's the U.S. Anti Doping Agency.  Sounds like a government entity to me.

Well Congress recognized it as the official test facilities for all US athletes.

It is not a federal governmanet agency. It is a non-profit organization.

Oh OK, so I was imagining all the congressional hearings about steroids in baseball, right?  The Roger Clemens witch hunt?  One can only assume that this is a similar situation...  Is it not?

This is about Lance Armstrong, it is completely unrelated to baseball and those preceedings. It has nothing to do with the government that I know of.

As far as I can tell you were not imagining anything, except thinking this is somehow related to past congressional hearings.
