Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges -
US cycling star Lance Armstrong has announced he will no longer fight drug charges from the US anti-doping agency, ahead of a Friday deadline.
In a statement, the 40-year-old maintains he is innocent, but says he is weary of the "nonsense" accusations.
The US anti-doping agency (USADA) now says it will ban Armstrong from cycling for life and strip him of his seven Tour de France titles.
Armstrong retired from professional sport in 2011.
USADA alleges he used banned substances as far back as 1996, including the blood-booster EPO, steroid and blood transfusions.
Armstrong sued in federal court to block the charges but lost.
'Heartbreaking' case
"There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now," Armstrong said in the statement.
of course what will be heartbreaking for the fLench is that they could not bring me down and strip me of my titles but my own countrymen have - of course what no can take away from the fLench is the amount of saddle sniffing they did every time I dismounted the cycle
"I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999.
"Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart's [USADA's chief executive] unconstitutional witch hunt.
"The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today - finished with this nonsense."
Armstrong had been given until 06:00 GMT on Friday to decide whether to continue fighting the USADA charges.
The agency has said that 10 of Armstrong's former teammates are prepared to testify against him.
The cyclist has accused USADA of offering "corrupt inducements" to other riders.
USADA also accuses Armstrong of being a "ring-leader" of systematic doping on his Tour de France winning teams.
Mr Tygart said shortly after Armstrong's statement that his agency would ban Armstrong from cycling for life and strip him of his titles, according to AP.
The chief executive described the case as a "heartbreaking" example of a win-at-all costs approach to sports.
However, Armstrong disputed that the USADA has the power to take away his titles.
"USADA lacks jurisdiction even to bring these charges," his statement said.
The cycling governing body the International Cycling Union (UCI) - which had backed Armstrong's challenge to challenge USADA's authority - has so far made no public comments on the latest developments.
Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer prior to his record-breaking Tour wins, retired after the 2005 Tour de France but made a comeback in 2009.
He retired for a second time in February 2011.
He now says he will be focusing on the work with his cancer charity. 28 Replies to Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges - | re: Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges - (karma: 3)

Dopage : Lance Armstrong va perdre ses sept titres du Tour de France

Lance Armstrong sera radié à vie du cyclisme professionnel, après avoir renoncé à poursuivre sa bataille judiciaire contre l'Agence américaine antidopage.
Lance Armstrong, septuple vainqueur du Tour de France, va perdre ses titres et sera radié à vie du cyclisme professionnel, après avoir renoncé à poursuivre sa bataille judiciaire contre l'Agence américaine antidopage (Usada). Le directeur général de l'Usada, Travis Tygart, a déclaré, jeudi 23 août, qu'Armstrong serait aussi dépossédé de tous ses résultats depuis le 1er août 1998. "C'est un triste jour pour tous ceux d'entre nous qui aimons le sport et nos athlètes", a-t-il dit.
L'annonce intervient après que le coureur retraité eut répété, jeudi soir, qu'il était innocent des accusations portées contre lui, mais qu'il renonçait à poursuivre sa bataille judiciaire contre l'Usada, qui l'accuse de dopage tout au long de la période 1999-2005. Le rejet du tribunal fédéral d'Austin de son recours contre l'Usada laissait le champ libre à l'agence antidopage pour poursuivre son enquête.
"UN PROCESSUS JUDICIAIRE BIAISÉ ET INJUSTE"
Peu avant, Armstrong avait expliqué dans un communiqué sur son site qu'il renonçait à sa lutte contre l'Usada par lassitude et parce qu'il voulait se consacrer au travail de sa fondation. "Aujourd'hui, je tourne la page", écrit-il. "Je ne m'occuperai pas plus longtemps de cette question, étant donné les circonstances. Je me consacrerai au travail que j'ai commencé avant même de gagner le Tour de France : servir les gens et les familles affectés par le cancer", ajoute-t-il.
Armstrong a fait savoir qu'il était fatigué de la bataille judiciaire et du stress qui pesaient sur sa vie personnelle et professionnelle. "Il vient un moment dans la vie de tout homme où il doit dire 'trop c'est trop'. Pour moi, ce moment est arrivé", a déclaré Armstrong, contestant "un processus judiciaire biaisé et injuste". "Il n'existe aucune preuve physique pour appuyer ces accusations odieuses (...) je sais qui a gagné ces sept Tours de France, mes coéquipiers savent qui a gagné ces sept Tours de France et tous ceux avec qui j'ai couru savent qui a gagné ces sept Tours de France", ajoute l'ancien coureur, maillot jaune de la Grande Boucle en 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 et 2005.
"JE TOURNE LA PAGE"
Selon l'Usada, "il s'agit d'un exemple poignant de la manière dont la culture du gagner-à-tout-prix peut, si elle n'est pas contrôlée, submerger la compétition juste, sûre et honnête. Mais pour les athlètes sains, c'est un rappel rassurant qu'il y a un espoir pour les générations futures de concourir sans l'usage de drogues qui améliorent les performances".
Armstrong lors d'un contrôle anti-dopage pendant le Tour de France 2005, qu'il a remporté.
Le coureur, retraité du cyclisme depuis un an, avait porté plainte devant un tribunal fédéral texan pour tenter de stopper l'enquête de l'Usada, mais il a perdu. Il accusait l'Usada de n'être pas compétente pour le poursuivre et demandait un arbitrage en justice, estimant que ses droits constitutionnels avaient été violés. L'agence antidopage accuse Armstrong d'avoir utilisé des substances interdites, notamment de l'EPO et des stéroïdes, ainsi que des transfusions sanguines depuis 1986.
En juin, dans un chat au Monde.fr, Stéphane Mandard, rédacteur en chef du "Monde Sport", estimait que "Lance Armstrong ne bénéficie plus des soutiens qui étaient les siens pendant sa carrière. Et depuis que les accusations se multiplient à son endroit, le public américain s'est préparé à la chute du mythe." Toutefois, ajoutait-il : "L'épisode Armstrong n'est que le énième rebondissement d'un feuilleton noir qui frappe le cyclisme depuis de nombreuses années. Les affaires se suivent, mais la lutte antidopage a toujours un train de retard sur les méthodes de dopage".

You probably missed those threads when fondling your significant sheep's wool 
now lets get this straight once and for all
when making love 2 a sheep (not a ram we are not queers)
the following equipment MUST be utilised
full body overalls (including hood) so they don't shit all over you
Goggles to keep their shit out of your eyes
and most importantly a pair of sturdy wellington boots 2 place their rear legs in otherwise you do not have a hope of controlling their forward motion when you thrust
it is preferable to face them very close 2 a cliff edge so they tend to push back into you
you cannot unfortunately use gloves because you cannot get a good grip of their wool but if they do shit all over you it seldom goes as far forward as their necks | re: Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges - (karma: 1)

We all knew this was coming. ... The frogs have been extremely bitter over Armstrong's wins and what they can't get by honest competition they will get by rule manipulation. Obama, a hard-core Marxist, controls the he USADA. France is controlled by Hollande, also a hardcore Marxist. Why is the anthem of Communism called "The Internationale? ... Leftists work together internationally behind the scenes toward mutual goals. USADA's conclusions were inevitable.
"There is zero physical evidence to support (the) outlandish and heinous claims," Armstrong said. "The only physical evidence here is the hundreds of (doping) controls I have passed with flying colors."
"USADA's conduct raises serious questions about whether its real interest in charging Armstrong is to combat doping, or if it is acting according to less noble motives," such as politics or publicity, U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks wrote.

The UCI is taking a different stance,.. this isn't over by a long shot... Expect to see a UCI challenge on behalf of Armstrong against the USADA.
“The UCI notes Lance Armstrong’s decision not to proceed to arbitration in the case that USADA has brought against him.
The UCI recognizes that USADA is reported as saying that it will strip Mr. Armstrong of all results from 1998 onwards in addition to imposing a lifetime ban from participating in any sport which recognizes the World Anti-Doping Code.
Article 8.3 of the WADC states that where no hearing occurs the Anti-Doping Organization with results management responsibility shall submit to the parties concerned (Mr. Armstrong, WADA and UCI) a reasoned decision explaining the action taken.
As USADA has claimed jurisdiction in the case the UCI expects that it will issue a reasoned decision in accordance with Article 8.3 of the Code.
Until such time as USADA delivers this decision the UCI has no further comment to make.” | re: Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges - (karma: 2)

Not to mention,.. the USADA is going to have a really "interesting time" stripping him of titles older than 8 years ago. There's an 8 year Statute of Limitations that these dick bags are going to have to contend with and it's not going to work out in their favor. | re: Lance Armstrong ends fight against doping charges - en>fr fr>en By tozer Comments: 17867, member since Wed Nov 19, 2003On Fri Aug 24, 2012 05:22 PM
