He was here in Phoenix last weekend, doing a local tri. According to
my friends who raced with him, he was not in handcuffs.

No shit. What does that have to do with canceling his trip and the
reason? Answer--Nothing. Back into your hole, Brad

What did Lance ever do to you to make you such an obsesso? Let me guess, you
came home early from your gruelling 2 mile training ride and found your
boyfriend giving Lance a sloppy blow job...yes I can see that would be quite
annoying.

On the contrary that would make triathlons a lot more spectator
friendly, at least from an rbr spectators point of view. Not quite as
spectacular as adding sharks though.

She was being interviewed on the tube yesterday and she's a-smoking!
I'd trade both twins for her. She's way finer. She looks more like
Scarlett Johansson's sister than an Olsen.

I doubt there are many here who would find it surprising that he'd get
one. But it's kinda gone on a whole lot longer than anybody thought it
would. Or should I be including you as a subset of anybody? I mean
seriously, you've been posting about this eventuality for a very, very
long time, yet instead of ever suggesting that it's been frustrating
because it's been dragging out for so long, your posts continue to imply
"new & exciting!"

I think it's reasonable to assume that, here on RBR, people generally
believe that you thought a "target letter" would have come some time
ago. Interested in having a sincere dialog about that? Personally, not
that that matters, I would rather here your thoughts now, rather than
after the fact. Whatever the fact may end up being.

The overriding criteria though is does she look like LANCE's mom ?

It is really not surprising that the investigation has taken this long.
It's a complex money and other evidence trail to follow.

My impression from his attorney's actions is that Armstrong received a
target letter a while back. He may have been subpoenaed of late, but
the more I consider it, the wholesale cancellation of his Brazil trip
would not be caused by a subpoena that could be rescheduled. While my
criminal attorney friends think it un-likely that the US Attorney would
let him avoid the perp walk by giving him advance notice of an
indictment and arrest so he could quietly turn himself in, I think that
may be what has happened. Time will tell. :-)

Is an arrest a requirement of being indicted? I'm sure that sounds like
a dumb question, but I never really thought about the idea before that
anyone who goes to trial was, by defintion, previously arrested for
something, that you couldn't be "charged" without having been
"arrested."
