Remember Floyd Landis & Marion Jones Admitted To Using Steroids & Stripped Of Their Titles!!!
All of the Lance Armstrong sycophants need to realize just because a top athlete never failed a drug test doesn’t mean they didn’t cheat. The US Anti Doping Agency has evidence and believes Armstrong used EPO and blood transfusions. Armstrong also cleared all his drug tests like Marion Jones.
Floyd Landis one of Armstrong’s former friend and a former Tour de France champion also said that he saw Armstrong cheat. Landis was stripped of his Tour de France title and I believe it is only fair Lance Armstrong face the same fate.
Landis also lied and so did Marion Jones so it is only a matter of time before Lance Armstrong is stripped of his titles.
People want to believe Armstrong is a saint because he is some hero in America for battling cancer. However, Armstrong’s superhuman results winning the Tour de France seven times leaves me suspicious. I commend the US Anti Doping Agency for not capitulating to public pressure and going after Armstrong. Armstrong is a drug cheat just like Floyd Landis and Marion Jones!
Breaking News: Incendiary Research Study Claims Children Of Lesbian Parents Lead Miserable Lives!
Controversial UT study on gay parenting sparks debate
Tags
A new UT study stating children with gay parents turn out resoundingly different than children with heterosexual, married parents has spurred LGBT advocates across the nation into the offensive.
Led by associate professor Mark Regnerus, the New Family Structures Study appeared in the June issue of Social Science Research and sought to answer the question, “How different are the adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships?” At the end of the study, Regnerus found that adult children who grew up with gay parents, particularly lesbian parents, fared worse socially, emotionally and in relationships than children who had married, heterosexual parents. One theme in the data was instability in LGBT households.
His findings sparked debate online Monday, and today four major LGBT organizations, the Family Equality Council, Human Rights Campaign, Freedom to Marry group and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, issued a joint statement condemning Regnerus’ research for seeking to disparage LGBT parents.
“The paper is fundamentally flawed and intentionally misleading,” the statement read. “It doesn’t even measure what it claims to be measuring. Most of the children examined in the paper were not being raised by parents in a committed same-sex relationship, whereas the other children in the study were being raised in two-parent homes with straight parents.”
The Witherspoon Institute, a conservative research organization working to enhance public understanding of moral foundations, and the Bradley Foundation, which supports conservative principles and government, contributed funding to the New Family Structures study. In his findings, Regnerus said funding sources played no role in the study.
Regnerus and others in the UT Population Research Center, a research entity that focuses primarily on topics such as parenting, as well as partnering and human development, analyzed more than 15,000 people ages 18-39. Out of the total respondents, 248 indicated their mother or father had a same-sex relationship at some point while growing up.
In a piece for Slate, Regnerus pointed to findings in recent years suggesting homosexual parents are just as good as heterosexual married parents and in some studies, better. Regnerus said the drastic difference in his findings from those of other researchers was a result of better research methods, particularly his use of a random sampling approach rather than locating and surveying small minorities.
Regnerus said he is not claiming sexual orientation is at fault in these worse outcomes and does not know about any kids currently being raised by lesbian and gay parents.
“Their parents may be forging more stable relationships in an era that is more accepting and supportive of gay and lesbian couples,” Regnerus wrote. “But that is not the case among the previous generation, and thus social scientists, parents and advocates would do well from here forward to avoid simply assuming the kids are all right.”
ITN News: Stephen Lawrence Murder Trial Verdict Two White Men Convicted Of Murdering Black British Teenager.
I am not sure if people outside of the United Kingdom have heard about the Stephen Lawrence murder case? In the year 1993, an unarmed seventeen year old black British teenager Stephen Lawrence was brutally murdered by white male youths.
Stephen was waiting at a bus stop with a friend when he was stabbed to death. The Stephen Lawrence murder case shocked England and forced the British people to examine racism in British society. The Stephen Lawrence case forced the British police force to admit to racism within their ranks.
Finally in January 2012, due to the persistence of Stephen’s parents after eighteen long years they obtained justice. Two white men Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted of murdering Stephen. When I think of Stephen Lawrence if he were alive today he would still be a young man only in his thirties. Maybe Stephen would be married, have a wife and kids. A young life was extinguished due to bigotry and prejudice.
However, even though two white men were convicted of Stephen’s murder the other murderers are still at large. The British newspaper the Daily Mail published the photographs of all the white male suspects. The British public knows the identities of the other killers. Sadly, Stephen Lawrence parents divorced due to the grief and strain of the murder case. I commend Stephen’s parents for fighting so hard and courageously and challenging the racist British police force and justice system. Even though, Gary Dobson and David Norris were convicted Stephen is still dead he’s never going to come back.
The Stephen Lawrence case is very similar to the Trayvon Martin tragedy taking place right now in America. Both Stephen and Travyon were unarmed black male teenagers, both were only seventeen when they were killed. I am disgusted by Fox News and numerous media outlets attempting to paint Travyon as a bad kid. Trayvon made mistakes in his young life but he did not deserve to die in cold blood. It is not surprising but still depressing how truly racist this world still is despite the progress of the civil rights movement.
George Zimmerman and his wife both lied to the judge about their finances which certainly hurts their credibility. I sincerely hope and pray it doesn’t take eighteen years for Trayvon Martin’s family to get justice for the murder of their son. I can’t imagine the grief, the pain, and feelings of despair that Travyon Martin’s parents are going through right now.
Breaking News: George Zimmerman’s Wife Is Charged With Perjury For Lying About Their Finances!
PUBLISHED: 20:40 GMT, 12 June 2012 | UPDATED: 22:22 GMT, 12 June 2012
The wife of George Zimmerman, who is currently imprisoned for murder charges relating to the death of Trayvon Martin in February, is now on the wrong side of the law herself.
Shellie Zimmerman was arrested today in Seminole County, Florida, on charges that she committed perjury during her husband’s bond hearing.
An order issued Tuesday by assistant state attorney John Guy charged her with knowingly making false statements during the April hearing.

George Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the shooting. He was granted $150,000 bond at that hearing and released.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that prosecutors alerted Judge Kenneth Lester that Mrs Zimmerman had lied about contributions to her husband’s legal defence to hide about $135,000.
Lester, in a strongly worded ruling, said the Zimmermans lied about how much money they had.

An arrest affidavit for Shellie Zimmerman obtained by the Associated Press said that records show in April she transferred more than $85,500 from her bank account into her husband’s account.

The affidavit also indicated that records of Zimmerman’s calls from jail showed that George Zimmerman instructed his wife to ‘pay off all the bills,’ including a Sam’s Club card and American Express.
A state attorney investigator met with credit union officials and learned that she had transfer control of his account.
Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara has said the Zimmermans were confused and fearful when they misled court officials about how much money they had.
Shellie Zimmerman, a nursing student, was ordered held on $1,000 bond. Sources told the Sentinel that she was working to post her bond.
In Florida, perjury is punishable by up to five years in jail.
Victim: Trayvon Martin, 17, was unarmed when he was shot by Zimmerman, who claims he acted in self-defence
George Zimmerman, of Sanford, has been behind bars since Judge Lester revoked his bond earlier this month.
He came out of hiding when he returned to the John E. Polk Correctional Facility on June 3.
To pass the time, it appears he’s also writing postcards to loved ones, having requested several different varieties.
He also requested a writing pad, pens, pencils and four erasers.
He purchased two ‘Missing You,’ two ‘Thinking of You,’ and two ‘With Love,’ cards from the jail.

Political statement: Hoodies have become symbols of racial profiling and discrimination, protestors say, after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while wearing one
The former neighbourhood watch captain claims he was acting in self-defence when he shot Trayvon Martin on February 26.
On that night, Zimmerman spotted Martin, and called 911 to report that the hoodie-clad teen ‘looked suspicious.’
The 911 operator urged Zimmerman not to follow Martin and to stay in his truck, but Zimmerman, for unknown reasons, got out.
He claimed that he lost track of Martin and was returning to his car when he was ‘sucker-punched’ by the teen.
Zimmerman said he shot him, fearing that he was armed.
But Martin, 17, was not armed. He was returning to his father’s girlfriend’s house with an iced tea for himself and Skittles for his little brother.

Police contended that Zimmerman was protected under Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law, which gives wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat in a fight if people believe they are in danger of being killed or seriously injured.
The questioning of Zimmerman’s truthfulness by the judge last Friday could undermine the defendant’s credibility if it is brought up at trial.
As the case stands now, his credibility is absolutely critical to the case.
The initial lack of an arrest in the case sparked massive protests nationwide and debates about whether race was a factor in Zimmerman’s actions and in the initial police handling of the case.
Martin was black; Zimmerman’s father is white and his mother is from Peru.

Are Poland & Ukraine Too Poor, Racist, & Uncivilized To Host International Sports Event Euro 2012?
I am disgusted and angered by the racism that minority sport fans and professional athletes are being subjected to in Poland and Ukraine.
Are Poland and Ukraine too poor, racist, and uncivilized to host an international sports event?
It is a fair question because the level of white supremacy taking place at Euro 2012 is shocking.
What if the violence becomes fatal and a minority sports fan or a black soccer player is murdered?
Would the world still ignore the pathetic hooligans?
I am serious the level of violence and racism at Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine is escalating and something needs to be done about it.
Poland and Ukraine’s international reputation is going down the toilet. It is so offensive to see innocent people being attacked by racists chanting Nazi salutes.
It is also surprising to be honest that this blatant bigotry is taking place in the poorer region of Europe.
Poland and Ukraine are not a part of Western Europe the and perhaps due to social problems within these countries people need a scapegoat?
Racism is a global problem but it is shocking to see this uncivilized behaviour taking place at an international sports event. Whomever decided to have Poland and Ukraine host Euro 2012 should be ashamed of themselves!
I commend the media for not ignoring this abhorrent racism because it should not be tolerated. It isn’t enough for people to say racism is wrong there needs to be swift action to deal with this. I am concerned about the black football athletes that just want to perform yet are subjected to bigotry and white supremacy.
Ottawa Citizen Article: Canadian Psycho Luka Magnotta’s Ex Girlfriend Says He’s Creepy & Wanted To Be Famous!!!
Her darkest romance: Magnotta’s ex-girlfriend describes “very cold” relationship
Luka Magnotta’s ex-girlfriend supplied this photo she took of the accused murderer in a limousine.
Photograph by: Image supplied , handout
OTTAWA — They met as strangers for a threesome in a Toronto apartment, and Luka Magnotta took a liking to the transgendered girl his same age — so much so that the other guy stormed out, said he was going for a pack of smokes and never returned.
Luka Magnotta was 23 and years away from becoming the monster depicted in the headlines. Then an aspiring porn actor and an escort for older men, he ended up courting the girl and would go on to live with her in 2006.
It was her darkest romance.
Magnotta’s ex-girlfriend, who wishes to remain anonymous, recalls a date that year in which the two went to see the Sharon Stone film Basic Instinct 2 on opening night. Magnotta insisted they sit in the front row, and she recalls him holding her hand through the scene where a mystery blonde woman kills a man with an ice pick.
The online video of the alleged killing at Magnotta’s Montreal apartment is titled “1 lunatic 1 ice pick.”
Magnotta’s ex-girlfriend said he was prone to mood swings at the time she knew him, and was infatuated by serial killer Karla Homolka.
“He talked at length about Karla,” she said.
She said Magnotta — at the time a year away from filing for bankruptcy, as revealed by the Citizen — spared no expense in the courtship, renting limousines to pick her up for dates at noted Toronto restaurants.
It was fun, she said — at least at first.
But their sex life was lousy, she said, because of his river-bottom sex drive.
“He didn’t have much of a high sex-drive when I was with him, to be honest. I kept begging him for sex, and he would never give it to me. This one time he allowed me to give him oral sex but it only lasted for one minute,” she said.
Magnotta wouldn’t even kiss her on the lips. He wanted only to hold her hand, take her to the movies and wine and dine her at fancy restaurants. When not eating out, she said, Magnotta ordered pizza all the time, and never cooked meals. He always made the sign of the cross before he ate, saying he was raised to be grateful for what was on his plate.
She said there was no intimacy even though they slept in the same bed. So she settled for hickeys on her neck.
He had no problem doing that, she said, and he once sucked on her skin so hard he broke blood vessels in her neck. When she told him, she says, “He quickly ran to the bathroom, and he looked at himself in the mirror, and he freaked out and washed it away with water.”
And he told her that he couldn’t sleep with her because it didn’t mean anything special to him; because Magnotta had sex “with old men for money,” and because he was dating her, she said, “He wanted to express that kind of love in a different way.”
She said Magnotta was “very cold” and would go silent when they argued.
When she dumped him, she said Magnotta insisted they remain friends. She didn’t keep in touch and one of the last times Magnotta called her he said he’d had a “bad experience” with a john.
Magnotta invited her on a holiday in Greece, but she declined. “He got mad ‘cause he didn’t understand why I didn’t want to go.”
She said Magnotta would get upset over little things.
“I remember, I knocked down a picture frame of himself, and he freaked out on me.
“He was hot and cold. I just thought the whole relationship was … weird, you know?”
She said her friends warned her not to date Magnotta, but she said she was “blinded” by love.
“I didn’t trust him, cause there was something about him that gave me the creeps. I’m glad I broke up with him, ‘cause he could have killed me, and chopped me up in pieces,” she said.
Interviewed separately, a close friend of Magnotta’s from the time recalled that he was self-absorbed, and always asking how he looked.
Magnotta’s ex-girlfriend also said he constantly wanted her to take pictures of him. She said the first thing he did every morning was “market himself” on the internet.
“He wanted to be famous,” she said.
Surprising News: Canadian Psycho Luka Rocco Magnotta Extradition From Germany To Canada Could Take Years!!!
Luka Rocco Magnotta’s extradition from Germany could take years, lawyer says
OTTAWA—It could take up to two years for murder suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta to be extradited from Germany to stand trial here. More, if he decides to fight every step of the way.
For those who’d like nothing more than to hear nothing more about the narcissistic Canadian who was arrested in Berlin surfing news about himself, get ready.
“It’s the flipside of the Karl Heinz Schreiber case,” said Vancouver lawyer Gary Botting, who wrote the Canadian Extradition Law Practice.
In an interview with the Star, Botting said Schreiber’s 10-year battle to fight extradition from Canada to face tax evasion charges generated “huge headlines” in Germany every time. “I think the same thing is going to happen here.”
The Canada-Germany Extradition Treaty was never formally ratified, but it is the guiding legal document and lays out the principles that apply, as well as a timeline of what to expect, said Botting.
Under it, Canada and Germany agree to extradite individuals charged with an act that is a criminal offence in each. Germany does not extradite anyone to face the death penalty. That doesn’t apply here as Canada doesn’t have the death penalty. Unlike Canada, Germany does not extradite its nationals, preferring to prosecute within Germany. Magnotta is a Canadian citizen.
Canada has 45 days from Magnotta’s arrest to file a formal extradition request, called a “record of the case,” which triggers the judicial proceedings.
Germany would then schedule an extradition hearing, possibly assigning Magnotta a lawyer if he cannot afford one. A defence lawyer may request time to become briefed, so Botting estimates it might take six months before a hearing is held.
Magnotta has 30 days after a decision of the court to appeal to the local minister of justice. He could argue he would not get a fair trial in Canada or he could argue he is not fit to stand trial, says Botting. The minister has 90 days before making a decision whether to surrenderMagnotta, which can be extended for another 60 days. The suspect then has 30 days to appeal a minister’s decision to surrender him to Canada to a court of appeal — a process that could take another six months “because courts are busy and lawyers have to prepare factums.”
After that, says Botting, the suspect could appeal a negative ruling to the national court of Germany, the equivalent of the Supreme Court of Canada.
He guessed it would be at least 18 months to 2 years “if every deadline is met” before a decision is made, more if Magnotta decides to drag it out.
“Motivation is a huge factor here. He won’t be motivated to come back to Canada right away necessarily,” says Botting. “If he’s publicity-seeking, that’s exactly playing into his hands. He’s going to fight it every step of the way.”
Moreover, says Botting, extraditions are a hot topic in Europe right now, with a controversy roaring around the use of European warrants — created to ease inter-country transfers of wanted criminals, much the way Canadian provinces easily transfer suspects across provincial boundaries. Sweden and Norway almost never extradite anymore, and Germany’s following suit, he said.
Canada has extradited Schreiber, Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel and Walter Ebke, a resident of the Northwest Territories wanted on terrorism charges in Germany. However, Botting does not recall a recent case where Germany extradited a citizen to face justice in Canada.
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson’s office issued a statement Monday saying Magnotta was arrested on “an Interpol Red notice which under German law constitutes a provisional request from Canada for his extradition. Pursuant to the Canada-Germany Treaty on extradition, Canada has to now submit a formal request for his extradition accompanied by documentation outlining the evidence supporting the request.”
“Officials with the International Assistance Group (IAG) are working expeditiously in conjunction with officials from the Attorney General of Quebec (the prosecuting authority) to prepare the materials in support of the request. Mr. Magnotta is scheduled to make a first appearance in court in Berlin tomorrow morning,” said spokeswoman Julie DiMambro in an email.
“Canada will continue to be advised of the progress of this matter through the German courts.”
Defending Women’s French Open Champion Li Na Of China Upset In The Fourth Round!!!
Defending French Open women’s champion Li Na of China lost in the fourth round today to Yaroslava Shvedova 3-6 6-2 6-0.
This is a shocking result because Shvedova isn’t even ranked in the WTA top 100 she’s a qualifier!
Li Na had a real chance to win this match but lost the plot after the first set. This is a disappointing result I really was hoping Li Na could turn around her poor form in 2012 and win another grand slam. Li made too many unforced errors I fear the pressure of being the first Asian woman to win a grand slam got to her.
