The Drug Zombie Lives

It's not over with Armstrong. He will not accept a sanction from USADA and is still looking for the UCI to reject USADA sanctions.

Much will depend on the strength and detail of the dossier USADA supplies in formally announcing its sanctions against Armstrong. The more evidence presented, including affidavits from witnesses, the more difficult it will be for the UCI to resist implementing the sanctions and for Armstrong/UCI to challenge them before CAS or in the courts.

It will be interesting to see if Johan proceeds to arbitration. Armstrong has much to lose from the evidentiary fallout should it be made public. Of course, Johan has far more to lose economically from a lifetime ban. I put the odds at 60/40 that he will proceed to arbitration.
