Lance Armstrong's book labeld fiction and dropped in retail value

While Lance Armstrong will still earn a lot of money out his various investments in endurcance industry, book store employees react to the downfall of former seven time Tour de France Champion. It started as a joke, but all over the world Lance Armstrong's books a switching places. A Glasgow based book story put them into the "Fiction" section and dumped the "Every Second Counts" price tag to just one British Pound.

Mathematics according to Lance Armstrong, 2005 + 8 = 2013

If Lance Armstrong is able to negotiate with United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) and World Anti Doping Agency (WADA), he might be able to race again in 2013 or 2014 in Triathlon and of course Ironman Triathlon legally. How it works?

Anti Doping Authorities can reduce in exchange of new and substantial information Armstrong's lifetime ban from sport down to 8 years. Assuming above substantial information is given (under oath), this might settle the upcoming federal whistleblower lawsuit too. For a 41 year old professionell athlete 8 years are quite a long and career threatening time. In another perspective they're not!

Lance Armstrong confessed in his interview with Oprah Winfrey (1st part), that he doped until 2005, neither during his second comeback in 2009/2010 or between 2006 and 2008. If you match these 8 years with his last known doping violation it's an easy fix. He could race Ironman Hawaii in 2013 or 2014, if he can push some doubts and clouds for the years 2006-2010 away. [1] The USADA report is refering to Armstrong's biological passport as "fully consistent with blood doping" and a raid in 2009 revealed blood doping kits at his Astana Team. Terry Madden, former USADA Boss confirms Travis Tygart's statement regarding a USD 200,000 or 250,000 bribe donation offer from "one of Lance Armstrong's closest representatives" in 2004 and that USADA's board of directors was informed later.
