All things SPORTS

if i went through 200 drug tests, over the last 13 years, and just ONE OF THEM was "re-tested" and came up positive...yeah, i think i'd "give up" too.

the USADA has no power to "strip him" of any title or rank (a US organization has no say in what happens in the tour de france, lawl) and he can't bike for ANYTHING the USADA has jurisdiction over (which happens to be absolutely nothing! :D).

by doing this, win or lose, he gets to keep his non-profit and keep fighting cancer. the USADA has been doing this for YEARS to him and have apparently gone drunk with power (lol overstepping authority)and have judged him to be guilty until proven innocent. (serirously, all they did was keep accusing him for the past 13 years and will PROBABLY keep doing it until they get a guilty verdict, then turn around and say "we told you we would get you"...douchey...)

Nike has chosen to stick by him (good for them!)

i dont really get what the "winners" will get...the prize money is  gone and there's no way they can retroactively be repaid for the LOST sponsorships...

The thing is they have no evidence to prove that Armstrong was doping and he was tested all the time when he was racing and nothing came up. The guy was just better than everyone else, kind of like Jordan or Tiger.  Armstrong is just smart enough to quit and not go broke defending something he can't win.

Excited to watch the us open of tennis after work tomorrow!!

I didn't even realise it was on. Would be a wise bet to bet on the big 4 making the semis once agian. Men's tennis has become so predictable these days but it is still great to watch the best of the best battle each other

Originally posted by timpiper Well too its just the us anti-doping agency that stripped his tour titles-most likely the international agency will not

The petzschner, almagro 5 setter is the first good match ive seen thus far in the us open

Freaking Cal Golden Bears lost to Nevada Wolfpack!  Come on Tedford!!

Im a del potro fan but i cant help but want roddick to beat him and keep his final tournament run alive

Ya and when roddick is gone our best player is john isner, followed by marty fish-that's pretty pathetic considering our history of tennis greats

A great career, unfortunately for him he played in an era that had such dominant players so was never really considered the best at his game. Certainly a great career though

he had a solid career now he is gunna go make babies with his hot wife who can blame the guy!

so the season has officially began who is everyone pickin to win the superbowl this year?? my pick is san fran. thank god football is back! sundays wont suck anymore!

Originally posted by HAVEN2135 I am taking the Lions, we can't stop the pass but who can stop Megatron?

Not a bad choice..  Defensive teams don't seem to win championships these days.... passing teams do.  Or, have recently.

Eh the loss of Suggs is huge to the Ravens superbowl chances.

I'll take the Bears with Matt Forte for superbowl MVP

Matthew Stafford FTW!

I'm watching the US Open. I wonder who's going to win in the men's tennis final.

SERENA WITH A COME BACK VICTORY DOWN 3-5 in the 3rd set. I love it when the Williams sisters do well

Serena with 15 slam titles now-very cool. Tomorrow should be a great final between djokovic and murray

Ravens verse Bengals!!

^^^ I'm really happy Andy won! Amazing how he came from that devastating loss in the Wimbledon finals, then Gold in the Olympics, and now USOPEN Champ! He was right when he said, "Well, I'm getting closer."

As for that Brit comment, "If he wins, he's one of us, if he doesn't, he's one of them." I HATE that quote and whoever said that, shame on them!

Really great to see Andy Murray win a slam. And to do it in such gritty fashion really speaks about his mental toughness

He finally won one.  This is his year man!  First the Olympics and now the US Open, he's on a roll!
