...all the haters can read it and weep: http://espn.go.com/olympics/cycling/story/_/id/7538482/federal-prosecutors-close-lance-armstrong-doping-case-press-charges

funny interview....but don't worry, in 10 years, after the media exposure and they have won 5-7 tours, team FDQ will hate them......

I know this disappoints team FDQ, but LA was attacking the same guy AC/AS/FS were initially attacking in the last mountain stage.....Wiggins....while the rest were snoozing, LA was cruisin'.... ask LeM if seconds don't count.... I don't think LA has the legs to advance beyond 3rd and will...

so instead of thinking you know what went on, how about a version from the horses mouth: http://www.astana-cyclingteam.com/race_recaps/tdfst1709.html I think LA rode well today, but I will defer to his words and JB words for the true assessment.

...perhaps we have discovered the real reason for pace of the modern day peloton....it is not steroids, it is not blood doping, it is not EPO...it is the danged radios and a DS yelling in your ear! ;-) GLeM will have to rethink his "wattage" theory and team FDQ will now be accusing LA of...

old man 1, FDQ 0..... again in stage 4: team Forum Drama Queens get taken down by the old man and his Astana team. ;-) on my TV, LA was pulling a lot in the middle sections and AC/Kloden was looking particularly strong at the end. With about 1km to go, LA took the lead out and I was thinking -...

old man 1, FDQ 0..... although this makes no more diff to the overall or Astana leadership question than the TT did on Saturday, LA showed again why he won 7 of these things... on stage 3: Old Man 1, Forum Drama Queens 0 if somehow Astana wins the TTT tomorrow with enough time to put LA in...

Astana may not need to decide.. IMHO, there is only 1 stage before the Ventoux that Astana may really need to decide a leader....but that is only if Astana en mass can't burn the legs off of Sastre, Evans, Schlecks, et al in stage 7 by the usual Discovery/Postal/JB tactics...have the *team* up...

this is ridiculous.....by your logic every rider who has ever ridden in the Tour, are dopers because they could have been dopers because they can't prove they didn't dope.....or are only the ones that *you* don't believe are dopers? why not Indurain, why not Hinault, why not Anquetil? why...

thx...although there seems to be some "internet" indications (length of time) to the contrary, I will defer to your 20 minute estimate and its presumed immediate effectiveness for negating blood-based drug tests. I guess my question was that if the blood dump wouldn't actually mask any...

ignoring for the moment the odd conspiratorial "made for TV" notion of someone of having a blood kit ready to go at the drop of hat and doing a complete and undetectable blood dump and refresh in their bathroom, this would not have impacted the reading from his hair or his urine, would it...

pls educate me..... what could have happened between the time Lance left to take the shower and time the test samples (urine, blood, hair, etc) were taken that would have resulted in all negative results? is there something he could have taken during that out-of-sight 20 min that would have...
