Bill Stapleton Quotations

They've put Lance in Pandora's Box. And he can't defend himself.

The issue is that the codes were attached to anonymous samples. That's where the system broke down.

That inevitably can be leaked. It's completely irresponsible, and someone's going to have to answer for it.

I was never freaked out about what was going to happen to me. But I always believed in my heart (Armstrong) was born to race bicycles. It was an undeniable force within him, and that's what he was going to do.

I started thinking about what I could build in (Austin) that would make it special. We set out with a strategy to leverage the Austin vibe with music and sports and do things that were fun and cool for the city.

Film is one of the things that makes Austin cool. I think five years from now, it's something we'll really be involved in.

It's about Lance and his story. It's not about how many people watch the bike race. His endorsement value gets a lift if he wins five in a row, but I don't think he's hurt if he doesn't win. It'd be really great if as many people watch the tour as watch the Super Bowl but that's not going to happen.

This guy was on his death bed, and we were more worried about having him live than having him race again.

But Lance feels he was defamed by The Sunday Times.
