And Lance Armstrong decides to

So Lance has to make his decision today on whether or not to go to arbitration with USADA and there is no thread about it?!?

This must change.

What’s he going to do? Where is JRenfro?

These questions demand answers.

I think he is just finishing up his dope and ped stacking. After all, this would have been the perfect time to really up the PED usage since he is not competing, hence I doubt he is currently on a testing list given his limbo hearing.

He wouldn’t have been removed from USADA OOC Random yet, but I’m guessing if his number came up, they probably just skipped it for now because they wouldn’t want to look like they were harassing him.

Why bother? Supposedly they have all the evidence they need already…

He will appeal Sparks’s ruling. Buy more time.

I’d bet he appeals to the next level-- to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals today. Why not? Hell, even if he chose to go to abitration nothing is going to be “resolved” any time this year.

Pick6, what have you done with JRenfro? I’ll be keeping my eye on you…

He was racing pro triathlon, and got added to the OOC random the day he got back from Panama.

Sparks ruling was smart and made mention of keeping the US Courts out of the mess of international alphabet soup. If he appeals, it will be a waste of time and his money and he knows that. I wouldnt be shocked if he does because he doesnt know how to stop fighting, but I think it would be an incredibly poor decision. Not that he’s ever shown the ability to make another type IMO

LOL. Im completely harmless.

If you say so… don’t leave town until he is found.

in order to prevent Dan from getting upset, should this thread have a disclaimer at the beginning that suggests all following comments are best viewed in pink font?

I guess he can race challenge penticton.

Actually no. Challenge announced a while back that he isn’t welcome at their events either.

And everything else he has done to date hasn’t been a waste of time and (Livestrong’s) money? :wink: Seriously, I only say he will appeal to buy time. The guy’s legacy is crumbling around him, and I suspect he hasn’t fully realized it yet. In denial. When in denial, stall.

Does he know it is a waste of time and money? I’m not sure how much another appeal would cost, but I’m sure it is a drop in the bucket compared to what he has spent and will spend in legal costs.

He’s got nothing but time now that he isn’t racing and apparently lots of cash. What’s really to lose by an appeal?

Since Bruyneel and Pepe Marti chose arbitration is it possible the evidence will come out even if Lance appeals to a higher court?

For Lance, probaly nothing. He’s trying to do anything and everything he can. However, it does look like the more cases he keeps “losing” the more the noose around his neck gets tightened. But for someone with the means that he has, he absolutely should try and do everything he can to protect himself.

If he fights and loses (which all appearances are he will) and the folks he won the bonus from are able to come after him for it, he could wind up broke when it’s all said and done. He’ll start reshaping his legacy today is my guess. But it’s hard to say for sure.

The question is if Bruyneel and Pepe took public arbitration or not. I think there will still be leaks but public arbitration means all the evidence comes out
