The Lance Armstrong Saga OR someone tell the FDA To get a life

The following is an excerpt from VeloNews:

Fabiani said he was reluctant to comment on the case, but offered an observation he’s shared with others in the media, noting that Novitzky, a former IRS investigator, is now employed by the criminal division of the FDA.

“At a time when salmonella is forcing the recall of 380 million eggs, we’re all scratching our heads trying to figure out why the FDA is paying for a multi-million dollar fishing expedition, based on the word of the disgraced Floyd Landis, into international cycling events that occurred years ago,” he noted.

If you are a tax payer I would be asking yourself the same question. Who gives a damn what Floyd has to say.

Any body who understands the sport of professional cycling and has done even the smallest bit of research knows that no one was clean during the late 90's early 2000's. If you really want to learn more about doping in professional cycling check out From Lance to Landis
Or read the biography of legendary The Death of Marco Pantani
. It will shed some light on an otherwise widely misunderstood subject. Or you could just go out and donate some blood and then try to perform what you would consider to be a normal cardio activity for you. Note the results, then imagine it in reverse. Cycling is a blood sport and the gains from EPO or Homo genius blood doping are not joke, especially in the elite level where even 1% is the difference between hero and pack fodder.

I am not here to so say that it is right or that I agree with it, but was the way of things. I see no sense in drudging this up based of Floyd's testimony. Furthermore, the fact the we as tax payers are footing the bill for this and FDA is leading the charge? Give me a freaking break. Don't those clowns have some hobnobbing and kick backing to recieve from BIG MEAT and DAIRY. Or shouldn't they be busy planning more add campaigns to tell us how important dairy and meat are to our daily food consumption
. Or try to allow Pharmaceutical companies
to begin to targeting an even younger audience with their drug campaigns. Or for the love of god to something that actually has to do with the well beings of the people of the country rather then special interest groups in Washington?

I digress, but it seems to me the FDA should have a million and one more important things to do and should be spending their money actually trying to protect the citizens they serve rather then chasing an almost retired bike racer for alleged doping based on the allegations of a looser.

Wake up and smell the Folgers.
