A case based on jealousy and innuendo, the hounding of Lance Armstrong.

31. Here's what we know for sure:

Lance overcame tremendous personal obstacles to dominate a demanding sport filled with world-class athletes who were backed by almost limitless resources. This dominance lasted for years and propelled Mr. Armstrong to fame and fortune. He used his notoriety to found an iconic charitable institution which has, at the very least, promoted health and cancer awareness. He has generally remained above the fray politically, has befriended leaders of both parties. He has met kings and queens, presidents and potentates, movie stars and business moguls. He remains fabulously wealthy, fabulously fit, and generally beloved. He has been romantically linked with some of the most desirable women in the world. All in all, not a bad run. My gut feeling is that five years from now, he will still be fit, still be wealthy, still be fighting cancer, and still be bedding superstars. The USADA's only lasting victory will be the utter devastation of America's give-a-shitness about a once modestly popular international sport.
