I am requesting this page to be semi-protected because of the Lance Armstrong doping case that is currently happening!

You realize of course that this page only exists because of said case, yes? 216.137.216.16 (talk) 11:30, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I removed the paragraph describing Clark Griffith's conviction; it seemed like a fairly clear case of WP:COATRACK, considering this is an article about Travis Tygart. Ianboggs (talk) 06:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Travis Tygart is a douche bag — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.88.84 (talk) 02:25, 25 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The following should be added to the last paragraph for balance and reference: "An August 2012 ESPN national poll showed that 76% of Americans believe stripping Armstrong of his Tour de France titles was 'too harsh' of a penalty. The same poll found that 70% of Americans 'liked' as opposed to 'disliked' Armstrong." (http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls) Kaiserdriskill (talk) 05:02, 27 August 2012 (UTC)kaiserdriskillReply

Since when has popularity had anything to do with guilt? What possible relevance does this have to the article? Kevin McE (talk) 10:12, 27 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
