I have started this thread as a place to continue or hold off topic discussions or if there is an apparent misunderstanding between members on minor issues that could potentially muck up a thread.

This is not to assume that it was either parties intention to take stuff off topic, but a place where clarification or understanding a posters point can be discussed.

I think you will find there will be less activity.
If the only reason for someone was to muck up a thread, then this stops it.

And now you won't have to complain about the vortex, or whatever.
Because if you do not want to see it you don't come here.

Armstrong was not the team's regent, and the other riders were not his peons. He was a regular rider on the team. .

We get it, you wrote a bunch of nonsense, got called on it, and now want to call everyone liars for not agreeing with your game. Boo Hoo

I recall that we discussed such a thread back in (as it turns out) 2011. If executed properly, it could be quite useful. Especially as what often happens (and I pointed this out again recently) is that the discussion of a given topic turns into a discussion about the discussion, instead of the intended topic.

Curious to see how this thread evolves (if at all).

Motorola 1995 was a lot different than Discovery 2005. Don't try to pretend the two situations were the same.

What made you decide to lie about what Hincapie said? Orders from Betsy or have you obsessed about Armstrong so much that you adopted his methods?

No need for conspiracy theories.

You welcome to play the semantics game and pretend Hincapie's affidavit was not clear but it was clear to George that Lance wanted the team to use EPO. It was also clear to Swart. As the World Champion, Team leader, and highest paid rider on the team don't expect others to share your fantasy that he was "Just a rider"

The only thing clear is that in that interview Hincapie never said anything about Andreu being a drug pusher but you keep repeating that lie. He never said that Andreu was part of the blood transfusion program at Postal but you keep repeating that lie as well. It makes one wonder. Why do you continue to lie about that interview?

Maybe you can cry to Benson about me not knuckling under to misrepresentations. Twisting what people write and say does seem to be your modus operandi these days, so maybe this time he'll tell you to cowboy up and not expect special treatment.

Twisting is your thing these days, not sure what your motivation is but it obvious to most.

Hincapie has said Frankie taught him how to dope, that is a lie. Max Testa did. Hincapie also said it was Frankie's doping led him to dope.....ignoring the fact he was already doping and his team captain had already made it clear to George, and several other riders, that the team needed to get on EPO. George tried to paint Frankie as just like him and Lance. We both know this is not the case. I am sure George feels bad about this, hopefully he apologizes soon

You can twist, insult, and scream all you want. It does not change the reality.

And he continues to lie. Maybe if you repeat it enough, people will believe it. That strategy worked for Armstrong...for a while.

Bro - have you seen the Armstrong Lie?
Because its in there - that Frankie was the one who taught him.

CN even has it here:
However, in a documentary movie "The Armstrong Lie", Hincapie alleges that Andreu taught him how to use EPO, and to the Detroit Free Press, he said Andreu directed him the exact pharmacy where he could obtain it.

And it is in Hincapies affidavit that he was already getting his vitamin B12s from Carmichael.

yup, and multiple riders said that Max instructed them on EPO, proper doses, even gave them brochures on it. He even confirmed this to the NYT. He said that the riders were pressuring him for info and access to EPO. He figured that if they were going to use it they might as well use it safely so he gave them info on how to use it......but George tells Frankie's home town paper it was all Frankie. Something smells
