Lance Armstrong's attorneys say the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is offering cyclists a "sweetheart deal" if they testify or provide evidence that the seven-time Tour de France winner cheated by doping.

If those riders have been caught doping, the deal from USADA could result in a reduced ban from competition and other incentives, attorney Tim Herman told The Associated Press on Monday.

This "Get Armstrong" crusade jumped the shark a while back. But it now appears to be a kind of moral sickness.

It's way too common in our society for people to decide what the results of something are a priori and proceed to do anything they can to prove it no matter what evidence presents itself to the contrary.  Even well-meaning people fall into this trap.  You see it in every aspect of society- law, politics, sports, science, etc.  We should of course point it out when it happens, but it will continue to happen no matter what we do.
