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?
