US DoJ comes down swiftly on Lance Armstrong, meanwhile no one from 2008 melt down thrown in jail. (illegal, drugs)

Oh the irony here. Americans lost $10,000,000,000,000 because of the mortgage meltdown, yet the criminals responsible still haven't seen a whiff of jail. Meanwhile no one cares if Lance doped or not, yet he is being crucified by everyone and the D o J seems to have tackled the problem already. What gives?

This line of logic reminds me of when there is a case of animal abuse and some genius complains that some child abuser wasn't punished enough in some other case, so why should people be so upset about the animal abuse case.

I couldn't agree more about the banksters. What I fail to see is why I should be upset that they are pursuing someone who operated one of the most sophisticated illegal PED operations of all time under the US Postal Service banner because they didn't go after the banksters.

Have have to agree. Ironic and sad. Armstrong, Martha Stewart and Barry Bonds get prosecuted. Blankfein, Mozilo and Bernanke go scot free.

Does Lance have a fricken brain.........does he have a lawyer???????????

All the blubbering he has been doing....like on Oprah.....is just putting him in hot water...........SHUT YOUR MOUTH LANCE AND LAWYER UP!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they don't strip me of all my patents.

I was taking smart drugs during the inventions.

It's much safer to stew about Lance than, oh, say Fast & Furious!

Because Lance is one man while the banks are a system.
