Lance Armstrong
“A decision was taken to flush performance-enhancing drugs worth $25,000 down a toilet on a team bus in a field in France and to then dump the contents of the toilet into the field.
“In 1999 I transported pills from Spain to France, hand delivering them to Armstrong. I believed they were performance enhancing.”
Cycling’s world governing body, the UCI, is reviewing the Armstrong case. The UCI is led by Irishman Pat McQuaid.

If everyone in these races, and for that matter in other professional sports, refrained from PED's then we would still have competitive races, and celebrate the winners. It's the media who feeds the need for over-the-top performances, [i.e. Barry Bonds hitting 73 homers in a season] that sets the tone for cheating.

The curse of the Irish over the years, help your friends break the law, have a few drinks, go on a guilt trip, cry in your beer then become an informer and pray for forgiveness, nothing much has changed.

I think someone should look up the names of the customs officials that were working that night and have a talk with them.

As for (@like2tweet) him doing "remarkable work for cancer" - every celeb with skeletons in their closet does great "charity" work as it's an insurance policy that protects them. Just look at what Jimmy Savile got away with! (There's another lesson there in how our nation prioritises and funds the essential work that is carried out by charities.)
