At the end of the day he probably decided that the whole business is just not worth the agro. Having had 500 - 600 drug test without a true positive I don't blame him but it is very sad that so many sports people are doing so.

I don't see it as an admission of guilt, but as a defeat in the face of a corrupt and sick sports body.

We all know after KD that Americans leaders don't really worry little things like that.

They didn't mind putting Megaupload out of business even before there was a trial did they. They have no true interest in real justice.

Mark this ONE TIME I TOTALLY AGREE WITH METLA. Of course, nolo-contendere is not an actual admission of guilt, but it is used when a 'no-plea' is being offered and the ASSUMPTION is GUILTY.

If you went into court after hitting another vehicle and plead out at nolo, then you get another date set for the final hearing and it's assumed that you made NO PLEA at all. No plea is assumed to be guilty with no actual admission of guilt.

That's the way it was set up in Englifh courts in the -200th century, and so it sticks here too.

Its a shame but i suspect armstrong was not as clean as he makes out, still an outstanding achievement though as his peers certainley would have been on the same playing field if he was doping.
