At the time that they were sponsoring LA's team they were still making money and did not use tax payer dollars. Actually they got a great run for their money, lots of exposure at reasonable rates and all of this prior to much negative publicity about doping. What is there to scream about

Can't compete in Triathlon? How can USADA stop Armstrong from competing in Tri's when they have only just charged him? When Contador was charged with using clenbuterol he still competed thru 2011. i don't get it, I thought you got a trial and appeal before bans were handed down.

What is the situation today What is the current status of the Amstrong investigation? Would someone give a synopsis of the current situation. I have tried to read the thread, but after many pages I could not tell what the situation really is from all of the bickering. I think it would help if...

Who got cheated? Has anybody made a list of riders that had the potential to be a GC winner during the LA years but couldn't win because they were "clean". It appears that any rider who now excels is immediately tagged as a doper. It seems that the major contenders during that period were...

Why is spiking the sample so difficult? Several posters have stated that it is extremely difficult to spike the samples. I do not understand why it would be that difficult to make an EPO solution of a specific percentage and then taking a small amount( different for each vial) add it to a...

Dream on Dave

Sometimes HOG you make sense but not this time. Your post was trivial BS. So the donation goes to what person? the lab tech, manager, etc. come on get real. You may be an Aussie but that should not make you say stupid stuff. Who are your sources from 24 years ago... oh I get it, you are just...

that kind of stance is unusual on this forum

No I am not a lawyer and yes I know something about cycling, having been a cyclist since 1950 and following the likes of Coppi, Kubler, Bahamontes and Anquetil, Roche, Elliot and Tommy Simpson. Of course I am not an acknowledged expert like you guys. So what does that have to do with the...

So far throughout this thread there has been very little information, just "belief" and "innuendo". Eye(ear)witnesses are notoriously unreliable. Especially if they have a bias against someone. eg Lemond, Betsy, Frankie. People on this thread wanted Stephanie to nail LA to a cross and she...

So if is standard procedure, then his answers would be in the Medical Records. If they are not in the records, then we should assume that he was either, not asked the questions or they were not recorded or the answer was NO. Please show me some real evidence that these people(Frankie, Betsy...

what test did he fail? I don't remember that Rasmussen failed a test during the race. He was booted for a whereabouts notification failure.

What do you expect them to do? It is a training race, they are using it to judge their own efforts against others, NOT to chase down a break. What are they actually doing that would make anyone despise them... you are mentally disturbed if it affects you that way.

oh really, you are so sick of seeing him etc., yet you manage to do 12 posts per day for a year and most of them rant about LA... get real, don't be such a fraud, go ride your bike or read a book. Put LA's name on ignore!!

By a mere 11+ minutes, while tweeting how cold and muddy it was. Give the guy some credit. BTW Carbon Crank, keep up the good work baiting the haters:
