Travis Tygart Speaks the Truth About Lance Armstrong

As an expert in deception, there is nothing more cathartic than hearing someone who has the guts to set the record straight and speak the truth--especially when they've been threatened as I believe Tygart has been.

He spoke candidly and openly why you shouldn't believe Armstrong and I commend him for coming forward as it was not an easy thing to do.  I feel for Tygart because speaking out against the uber-rich doesn't usually come without consequences when they have the power to make you pay, as it is clear Lance has done to others many times over.

When athletes get so wealthy and have such incredible earning power, don't fool yourself folks, they have an incredible edge to push boundaries, avoid consequences and get things done that ordinary people can't. They have the power to make things "go away".  While I think many things are kept hidden far more than we'll ever know, I don't think any were as brazen at Lance Armstrong.

Isn't it interesting how Lance Armstrong told us in his interview with Oprah how he didn't feel he deserved a lifetime ban from cycling (aka "the death penalty), but he refuses to play by the rules like everyone else and confess under oath the truth?  No, he wants an exception again!  

Thank you Travis Tygart for having the guts, conviction and courage to stand on the truth.
