So USADA have published the findings of the USPS/Lance Armstrong investigation on their website and the fallout appears far reaching. Given that the evidence is not simply hearsay and testament the case against Armstrong looks fairly well sealed now. The other, perhaps unsurprising, factor that seems to evince itself more than ever is Armstrong's arrogance and manipulation, using his brush with cancer as a trump card to escape prosecution. A good summary of the findings and the potential repercussions here in The Guardian.

Dave Brailsford, boss of Team Sky, speaks to Sky Sports here, and includes some comments on Michael Barry, recently retired Canadian Team Sky rider. Barry revealed himself to have been involved in doping whilst riding for USPS - although claims to have been clean, and an anti-doping advocate, since 2006. Barry's website has a statement and apology relating to the findings here.
