No, I'm glad to hear your thoughts--the opinions of people who know things & are willing to share them are what makes this forum worth reading. Agree about Madiot being wishy-washy. Didn't Mentheour say in "Secret Défonce" that Madiot disliked the turn towards blood doping in the 90s and...

A Few More Questions Hola, JV--nice to see you still hanging in on this forum, in a very entertaining way to boot. Had two questions for you, the first on Contador: Do you think these numbers represent what Contador could do clean? He was pretty young when he took the test, and he wasn't...

I'm late to this, but...Absolutely! I've mentioned what Voigt said there in a few other threads; here's an English (family-friendly) translation of his full remarks in the original Spiegel clip from which the bits in the link above were taken: "What kind of bum are you? Have you cheated on...

Oh good, Goober's here with some extra-special super-secret information that only he knows but is unwilling to specify. Didn't you just say last week that Armstrong was gonna confess at the Livestrong benefit before the UT game, and had prepared the ground by telling his sponsors to drop him...

Since they're pretty open about outing Livingston when talking about the transfusions etc--but not Julich--I'm guessing that Livingston probably talked to the USADA, but was unwilling to file an affidavit that would get him tossed from his basement business-place. Maybe USADA, recognizing his...

Good stuff! Not riders, but from Levi's affadavit: "Other-7" is most likely Rick Crawford, his US coach in the early days (eg, http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-07-08/sports/0207080175_1_roberto-heras-postal-team-director-american-levi-leipheimer). "24. I was offered EPO in 1999...

"Other-7" sounds an awful lot like Rick Crawford--recommending that clients buy the blood-spinner was something that came out in his testy email exchange with Decanio. How about Levi's "Other-8," the doctor at Rabobank who provided EPO? Geert Leinders? Did Brailsford get advance notice of...

More Thanks to JV +1000, JV, including the ignore list. Some people only use new information to confirm what they already believe, going through all sorts of mental contortions to refute or ignore anything that contradicts it. It's as true of people who see dopers on every podium as it is...

Blood Bags & Microdosing Post-Postal Lots of great stuff on this thread--hard to keep up! Have a question about Tyler's program on CSC & Phonak that I thought people here might be able to answer. When he talks about doping at the Tour in those years, he's very explicit about Fuentes & the...

;) I sees what you did there... ...and by the way, I much appreciate your coming on this forum to chat with us. It has the most knowledgeable & frank discussion of doping in cycling that I've found, and I hope it stays that way.

Dear mods: without these two posters, you will lose a lot of site-hits from lurkers like me, who appreciate a forum where anti-doping--and yes, anti-Armstrong--posters with more knowledge than your common cycling fan can post without being drowned out by the likes of LauraLyn, whoever he is...

Go Mike! And congrats LL--you just made my Ignore List.

RR's More Credible Witness Per Benotti69's guess up the thread about Kik or Sheryl Crowe--RR said many months ago that Kik had spilled to investigators, and he said in the last week or two that Crowe was "able and willing" to say what she knows. Sorry, don't have time to find the actual posts...

Agreed, it was an antagonistic question. Speigel (the magazine) seems to specialize in them, whenever they interview a public figure. But the answer was most telling--"Look at your own soul. Are you clean? Then you can judge me!" He implicitly admits he dopes by counterattacking with the...

Horner most likely wasn't clean then, either. According to Matt Decanio--if I recall correctly--Phil Zajicek told him that Horner kept a supply of EPO in his fridge. This was about the time Horner was tearing up the US circuit for Webcor, I think.
