Reply to "Lance Armstrong"

One of those who was going to testify was Floyd Landis who did test positive. Wonder what kind of deal he cut?

I remember a news story from years ago that explained part of Armstrong's extraordinary success was due to physiological traits. I found the following on-line:

"Researcher Edward Coyle studied Armstrong from 1992 to 1999 and shared his findings in the Journal of Applied Physiology in 2005. Armstrong, he wrote, has exceptional cardiovascular and lung capacity and exceptional muscular efficiency – a combination of lucky genetics and intensive training and motivation."

I understand Armstrong not wanting to fight this any longer. This has been dogging him for years even though he has never had a positive test and now it continues even though he has retired. Fighting allegations takes a lot of time and money. Yes, he has a lot of both but this probably isn't the way he wants to spend it.
