EagleHawk I've heard that it's more financial than anything else. He's been fighting allegations for years.

I'm relieved. There has been nothing but heartache for the fans on all sides. At least this way the fans who still believe in him get to

keep some of their hope. And the people against him feel vindicated. It's both a win/win and a lose/lose.

It's a pr move so he comes across as a martyr rather than having to go through the arbitration where things he wants hidden stay hidden.

As a cancer survivor, I want him to fight and win, but as a realist, I think he doped and there is hard proof he can't deny.

i don't know much about this whole thing but i wonder if some of this comes from time and money cause man they've been fighting this stuff

forever and from what 2003-2005..and it's 2012

so for years years tons of litigation sounds like such a freakin hassle

perhaps he's just like let it go

(like i said i don't follow him or cycling much tho so i could be waay wrong on this)

LynnZimm: That about sums it up for me. I want to believe, but it's hard to. I just am glad it ended while the possibility of hope still

exists for some people. He means a lot to many.

He still insists that he's innocent. All the tests have proved him innocent and now it's down to word of mouth.

Lance isn't the nicest of fellas and he's made a lot of enemies who want nothing more than to see him fall.
