I know I should not be surprised anymore but the worst part of the story for me is when Lance was able to have a federal investigation shut down through his political connections. Nauseating. A total sociopath who still lives a wealthy life. What a dick.
shareFrankie Andreau said, at one time in the documentary where the investigation dies, he was "not proud to be an American right now." I'm paraphrasing. But with the same kind of thing happening over and over in this country, sometimes I'm not too proud either.
I think the only way the Armstrong scandal should have been handled would have been with a full investigation, full disclosure to the public and full prosecution of everyone involved. There were government officials involved and I'm so tired of them leaving office with a full retirement package and no ramifications for any illegalities they were involved in. As for Lance Armstrong, I don't understand why he wasn't prosecuted. That decision, however made, is reprehensible. People see him and KNOW if they just commit a big enough crime, they'll get away with it. He sickens me.

And somehow Congress still found time and money to investigate the roiders in baseball. But not Lance. I guess Palmeiro, McGuire, et al just didn't have the right connections.
shareThe journalist who could ferret out who in government obstructed justice at the behest of Team Armstrong would get a Pulitzer. Sadly this story of Lance Armstrong is the story of post-modern America.
shareWould a Governor be powerful enough to stop the investigation? After watching this documentary, I really don't like this guy, Lance Armstrong.
