They better be 100% positive that they were 100% clean.There was also talk that runners up might pursue him for his prizemoney.

Just heard on Foxsports, that a Texas Insurance company is seeking a return of $11M they paid Lance.
Some sleepless nights ahead of one Lance Armstrong..I doubt they will be the only ones.

I'm curious, why do you hold Armstrong responsible for causing such immense collateral damage to the sport? Surely those who have come out and admitted to be cheats should be held with such contempt as well?
I'm all for the hatred and disgust for Lance, but I think the love should be spread around to all cheaters.
One interesting other potential lawsuit I have seen is a private one that Floyd Landis has filed as a whistleblower. The suit accuses Armstrong of a $60m fraud against the US Government (US Postal Service is a government agency). If Floyd suit is succesful he is entitled to something like 15% of the damages awarded under US whistleblower laws. Apparently the US Government is considering joining this suit with Landis. Just to add another twist, if Landis' suit is succesful, he will need to use part of that money to pay off his own fraud settlement to those who donated money towards his legal defense of his own doping charges. Damn this thing is murky. Going to take years to fully unravel.
One piont I'd like to make is that while I don't know about junior cycling, I have coached very talented kids who have walked away from their sport at the age of 18 or younger because they realise that drugs are required to progress further. This is why I refuse to go along with the 'everyone was doing it' argument.
I agree ILTW. I don't really care about Armstrong any more, but an interview with him surrounded by his mansion, artworks and executive toys will be a very negative look.
Sadly, the true legacy of drug cheats to young aspiring athletes, is that they win and usually make a lot of money.
In the College football final a commentator revealed that Australia's 22 year old Jesse Williams bench presses 275kg. This concerns me.

Getting back onto Armstrong - Personally I couldn't careless. It won't change anything, sure throw the book at him. But throw the book at Landis, Ulrich, Basso etc. They won't as they've been gunning to lynch Armstrong since the early 2000's.
You mean:
Landis - caught and banned, career was ruined
Ulrich - barred from the TdF in 2006 then forced to retire to avoid being caught and banned, later had his 2005 results stripped
Basso - caught and banned
