Jaysus he's some piece of work
Still can't bring himself to tell the full truth, I'm with Conway - not a hope was he clean in 09/10
Anyways, take EPO once and you can never be clean again
It allows you to train like a horse making lifelong physiological changes (improvements) to your body. Lifelong = never goes away
Real nasty bit of stuff saying he can't remember suing Emma O'Reilly or not. In his own words; "We sued that many people" - we, like he wasn't fully to blame himself. After insinuating that she took money for other services and all
That poor young Swiss lad, LA pointing out that he continued taking drugs after moving onto another team, not LA's fault apparently?? Go figure

PJ you said it was a witch hunt, fair play to Travis Tygart, someone needed to do it . Armstrong had intimidated so many other people into backing off it took a fair set to go after him that hard. Intimidation included physical threats by hired heavys according to many accounts

Him saying he was levelling the playing field is no excuse either, any class of a conscience would cut that out anyways but he was so vehement in defending himself and attacking anyone who half questioned him at the time

Then the classic defence "poor me, I have an awful flaw, I just want to win so damn much it's not actually my fault I cheated - like I said I'm forever cursed for simply being too competitive, don't you feel sorry for me now?"

Hard to see him not doing jail after viewing those 2005 depositions under oath, slam dunk for US prosecutors to haul him in over that. Whole thing looks like the start of a plea bargain for a reduced sentence.

Not sure but I heard mentioned in one TV news that the Statute of Limitations applies - too much time has passed..
