Say it ain't so, Joe!
Earlier this week Tyler Hamilton dropped a hand grenade when he ratted out Lance Armstrong for using EPO. Now comes word that George Hincapie has also flipped on Lance. In the cycling world, this is the equivalent of Little Boy being dropped from the Enola Gay!
More importantly, and perhaps more telling, Hincapie hasn't gone public with his accusations — rather he's only told federal investigators that he witnessed Armstrong using performance-enhancing drugs.
What does this do for the sport of cycling in America, or even around the world?
If he is proven to be a fraud, what does this do for the millions of cancer survivors who saw Armstrong as an inspiration?
Would this be the greatest fraud ever perpetuated in sports, surpassing Barry Bonds, or even "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the Black Sox scandal?

Lance Armstrong inspired me through my journey to recovery from cancer indeed. Now I do believe he is a fraud, I even suspect his cancer originated from supplements supporting cell growth. I hope he will write another book where his conscience takes over and all the weight of denial is released - it could be pretty tiring to live with it so far.

Probably important to note, Hincapie has said he didn't speak to 60 minutes and hasn't confirmed that he made any such statement, and the grand jury testimony is sealed. So the statement should be "alleged statement" by Hincapie.
I'll withhold judgment from Lance. Bottom line is two caught dopers have said he cheated when they were about to publish their books. Yet, 500 tests say he was clean.
