    I have an idea on how to combat crime: Tell all criminals they get immunity as long as they testify against some random guy we don’t like. Look, all these criminals have agreed to testify — that PROVES this random guy must be guilty. Crime will surely go away now.

    So surreal.

    Find out who gave the newspaper this “news”. Johan writes for them. Think of USADA response….
    This is possibly an intimidation tactic from the Armstrong camp. I trust USADA much more than Armstrong.

    It’s time to discredit the guys that “created” this – not the riders forced to comply. It’s the director, star and dr’s that need to be removed from the sport – permanently. Not the riders forced to comply. Go USADA!
