I know nothing about this sport..
But I can't imagine ANYONE cycling miles, and miles, and miles, up and down mountains, and more miles without some sort of 'help'. IMO Armstrong took PED's, but IMO they all probably did.. Some just did it better than others.

Lance had no choice but to take this route. If he "fought" this organization, it was going to be on purely through arbitration with an org that's got an axe to grind. No way to win that one, when they start bringing out "testimony" from people they've threatened action against (George Hincapie) or those that have already fallen from grace like Floyd Landis. Lose/lose.
Take your lumps and remind everyone that hard evidence has never been brought to bear on you.
I'm really curious to see what the Tour de France is going to do about this. If they decide to strip him of his victories, who are they going to award them to? The next five guys in line who all had been caught doping?
They were all doping, so the playing field was level. Lance won fair and square when you consider the landscape that he was racing in.

Lance should get his testicle back if he has to forfeit his titles. Only fair.

It's a garbage prosecution by your typical bloodsucking lawyer looking to make a name for himself and get a head on a wall. Not surprising.
