Is Lance Armstrong innocent until proven guilty?
Lance Armstrong wasn’t having a good Tour de France after many early crashes and cobblestones. Lance conceded victory after dropping to 38th place. It is depressing as I would like to see Lance go out on top. Lance has moved up to 32nd place through Thursday’s 11th stage. There was an ESPN.com report about Lance’s alleged ownership in Tailwind, his former team. There appears to be a contradiction with a 2005 deposition. To put it in context, the question was asked after he just finished riding a stage. There was also a five year difference. Who remembers what they ate yesterday much less what they said five years ago? Lance’s problems are growing as federal authorities are issuing subpoenas. These stem from Floyd Landis’ blood doping allegations. The Tank’s Bottom Line: Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, especially Lance. Posted by The Tank.
