DISGRACED US icon Lance Armstrong will suffer a new humiliation this weekend as an English town burns him in effigy.

The 30-foot (9m) steel-framed figure, dressed in a Tour de France leader's yellow jersey, will be torched on Saturday during the annual Guy Fawkes or Bonfire Night celebrations in Edenbridge in Kent, southeast England.

The effigy has been stuffed with oil-soaked newspapers and fireworks and holds a sign reading: "For Sale - Racing Bike. No longer required."

Armstrong was stripped of his record seven Tour de France wins after a damning US Anti-Doping Agency report concluded that he was at the heart of the most sophisticated doping program in the history of sport.

The Armstrong effigy also sports a badge around its neck saying "Jim Fixed It For Me", a reference to the late British television presenter Jimmy Savile, who has been accused of widespread child sex abuse.

Edenbridge Bonfire Society said Savile had been another potential candidate to be burned in effigy this year, along with British finance minister George Osborne and the hook-handed radical Islamic preacher Abu Hamza.

Hamza was extradited to the United States last month to face terror charges.
"We had a shortlist which included Jimmy Savile but it was decided it would not be nice to use him, as a lot of children attend the bonfire and they might start asking their parents questions," said society co-ordinator Charles Laver.

Osborne was viewed as "a bit boring", so Armstrong won out, Mr Laver said, adding: "He's better because he's brighter. We're very pleased with it."

and now the whole world knows they would never be able to find a suitable jury for him

[Happy]

wonder if he had a lawyer in an earpiece

[zed]

He has sociopathic tendencies and is a self serving narcissistic individual. I can't imagine him giving a full confession. He knows the games up, he knows he has to say something, but he would have been advised by his team of lawyers of what he needs to say in order to maintain some form of credibility without fully incriminating himself and opening up the door to law suits & a prison cells. I don't think you will hear "yes I doped and pressured others to dope". It would be more like "I made some mistakes" or "I broke the law".
