And The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Lance Armstrong Tells Oprah He's a Fraud

Well, if there's one person who MIGHT be happy at this whole Te'o Time stupidity, it's Lance Armstrong, who just undid the rest of his legacy by admitting in an Oprah interview that his entire relevant cycling career was on the juice.

Two quick comments:

1) We are supposed to be shocked...  WHY?  This is the Tour de Farce...  err, France! 

We must now conclude this race cannot take place outside of the influence of performance enhancing drugs -- probably the only thing is that the domestiques probably don't get the full dosages.

You are asking people to race several thousand miles across Europe over the course of about three weeks (last year's "race" was 2,173 miles in 23 days).

Does anyone believe, in the day and age of Steroids, that acceptable and marketable athletic performance is possible on that duration without steroids?

Seriously?

Please...

2) And what of the United States Postal Service's role?

Hell, if we really want to get funny:  Could this be the straw that finally breaks the back of the financially-strapped Postal Service, where enough rancor against them is gained through the cover-up of all this that the USPS could be in bigger trouble than they are already in?
