If someone said to you, take this pill and you will be a world champion and have millions of pounds.

What would you reply?

No.

Same reason why I haven't committed fraud in the workplace.

What's stopping me from lying and cheating my way to financial freedom?

You go to jail for fraud, you don't normally go to jail for getting caught taking steroids.

If I make fraudulent statements to my bosses, lie in court under oath, and fraudulently mislead people I'd bet I'd go to jail.

I didn't mention doing that though! I just said about taking the pill.

If it was just the pill & only the pill - I'd still say no.

They want him to spill it under oath, but he will cut a deal and name and shame to avoid charges

Paul Kimmage:
In the autumn of 1993, Greg LeMond and his wife, Kathy, were sitting at home in the suburbs of Minneapolis, when they received a visit from Linda Mooneyham, the three-times Tour de France winner has recalled. Her 21-year-old son, Lance Armstrong, had just become the world champion and she had travelled from her home in Texas for advice.

"What does he do now?" she asked. "What does he do with his money?"

"Well, let him find an agent – a good one with an attorney," LeMond replied. "And one word of advice – just be his mom."

They sat on the porch for a while and then moved inside to the Toilet Seats. Linda had something else on her mind: "How do I make him less of an asshole. He doesn't care about anyone."

"Well," LeMond replied. "I can't help you there."

What took you so long Nike?
Nike, which helped build Lance Armstrong's Livestrong cancer charity into a global brand and introduced its familiar yellow wristband, is cutting ties with the foundation in the latest fallout from the former cyclist's doping scandal.

The move by the sports shoe and clothing company ends a nine-year relationship that helped the foundation raise more than $100m and made the charity's bracelet an international symbol for cancer survivors.

Reading a book about how lance was exposed.

Great reading this thread and the people holding onto the romance that he was innocent, some probably still do :lol:

Adam was on the money all along.
