Lance Armstrong can beat federal doping charges with one nut tied behind his back.

Good. They've wasted enough tax money on these steroid cases as it is.

the Bonds..."leveling the playing field" argument.
Lance didn't start it...I'm sure Miguel Indurain and all his Tour De France wins wasn't clean.
I guess the only one in the last 30 years who acts like he was clean is Greg LeMond because he has been such a little bitch to Lance about doping allegations.

I have no clue about Lemond doping but I know it doesn't take much for a guy to be a hypocrite.

It's not about money (Bonds) in the end...it's about power and influence...and Lance has it.

Timing, decision and politics raise suspicion:
The U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, Andre Birotte Jr., decided that the best possible time to make a major announcement about the federal investigation of Armstrong was late on the Friday afternoon before the Super Bowl. Is there a better time to hide news you don't want anyone to notice?
Then there is the decision itself.
The prosecutors in Birotte's office had prepared a formal written recommendation on the evidence that supported the suggested charges. Sources familiar with the agents' work told ESPN.com that the prosecutors and agents were interviewing witnesses as late as last Thursday and Friday, as Birotte scheduled his announcement. They were anticipating an indictment in a few weeks and had no idea that their two years of work was about to come to a sudden end.
Finally, there is the political speculation. As ESPN.com's Bonnie D. Ford noted in her insightful report on the day of Birotte's decision, Armstrong "retains a devoted constituency despite years of persistent questions about his character."
Ford used an interesting word -- "constituency" -- in this presidential election year. Armstrong is an authentic hero as the result of his battle with cancer, and there are 12 million cancer survivors in the U.S. Add millions of friends and family to the survivors, and you have a major constituency.
Was there political pressure to end the Armstrong probe? Did the decision come from the upper echelons of the Obama administration?
