i find this to be the most interesting fact of this story, from Lance's statement:
"As respected organizations such as UCI and USA Cycling have made clear, USADA lacks jurisdiction even to bring these charges. The international bodies governing cycling have ordered USADA to stop, have given notice that no one should participate in USADA?s improper proceedings, and have made it clear the pronouncements by USADA that it has banned people for life or stripped them of their accomplishments are made without authority. "
And just today the UCI is ordering the USADA to explain the case against Armstrong and why Lance Armstrong should lose his seven Tour de France.
