I heard snippets of the Armstrong/Winfrey interview yesterday. How does a psychopath get away with so much cheating and lying for so long?

From an adoring fan

My beef is not with the French, but with France’s anti-doping agency, which continues to hound Lance Armstrong without any credible evidence that he has ever cheated. While doping is a huge problem in Armstrong’s sport and I don’t blame anyone for trying to stamp it out, the single-mindedness with which authorities have gone after Armstrong is baffling.

On Thursday, the French cycling police, known as AFLD, announced that Armstrong took a 20-minute shower after a drug tester showed up at his door for a random screening. Armstrong claims the tester allowed him to clean up while the cyclist’s assistants made sure the tester was who he claimed to be. Now, there’s talk of disciplinary action against Armstrong, the most dominant Tour de France champion of his generation.

This is not the first time French cycling authorities have homed in on Armstrong. There were unproven allegations, long after the fact, that Armstrong had tested positive for the banned blood booster erythropoietin during the 1999 Tour. And there has been a whisper campaign against him for years in the French press. No charge has ever panned out, despite Armstrong’s contention that he has been the most frequently tested rider in history.

Lance Armstrong books classified as fiction in Australian library

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/193497/ ... n-library/

After Lance Armstrong admitted to doping and that the story of his life over the last decade has been one gigantic lie repeated at increasingly louder decibels, librarians at the Manly Library in Sydney, Australia, found themselves at a philosophical quandary: What to do with the many nonfiction books about Armstrong enshrining his accomplishments, statistics and medals as fact in the annals of knowledge?
NY Daily News notes that they came up with a clever solution—they’re keeping the books, but moving them to the fiction section. After all, fiction is now a pretty accurate framing of Armstrong’s career.
Books being moved include “Lance Armstrong: Images Of A Champion,” “The Lance Armstrong Performance Program,” “Lance Armstrong: World’s Greatest Champion,” and god knows how many other titles.
