Lance Armstrong I'M DONE After 500+ Negative Doping Tests!!

"Lance Armstrong is through defending himself against allegations he cheated to win his Tour de France titles ... because he says he's already given 500-600 samples that were ALL negative.

Armstrong, speaking on Gavin Newsom's new late night talk show, says he's not even arguing with people anymore who think he cheated -- "I'm not wasting any more of my time talking about it and you shouldn't waste your time talking about it. Let's move on."

Armstrong is currently competing in triathlons, and says he believes most people already made up their minds about whether he was juicing during his string of 7 consecutive Tour de France victories.

Newsom's new show premieres on Current this Friday night."

Regardless of his doping or not, he's always struck me as a right wing jerk when I've seen him interviewed. He may not be, but something about him always rubs me the wrong way.

everything I've read (and heard - I met his mom once while on vacation) indicates he is likely moderate or dem. Wiki indicates he's agnostic ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Armstrong

Is there not that much to do as California's Lt. Governor?
