Teflon Lance

I was amused imaging the dismay that J must have felt to learn that the US government has closed their investigation of Lance Armstrong without charges.  So to recap we're going on like 12 years where governments and agencies of all kinds across the US and Europe have tried their damnest to bring down Armstrong, and continue to come up empty.  So my question is, considering the magnitude of effort to find the evidence, the money and power of the people involved, and the continued failure, when do we call it quits and leave him to his life?  If all of these people and organizations cannot find enough to make it stick, then maybe it just isn't there.

I agree, let it go.

But if the stories out of Europe and from his teammates are true, he has been caught on more than one occasion.

Specifically, they had blood samples saved and when the testing became available, he was tainted more than once.

Oh well, Armstrong and Bonds walk free from a specific prosecution mostly due to a chain of evidence issue.

I am still adamant in one thing. Let them all use the lastest thing if there is no proof of harm to anyone else. Heck, half of the meds they take are being used to help the injuried and sick.
