    "The Secret Pro" on Katusha and doping

    Hmm, English speaking; on a team that runs SRAM (I'm guessing, from his complaints) - Three teams: Cannondale; Omega; Saxo - Wurf or King on C'Dale; no one on Omega; McCarthy; Duggan, Sutherland or Cantwell on Saxo. My guess would be Cantwell, as an Aussie (to the point etc..) and a neo-pro...

    From the former Mrs Armstrong's blog in Runner's World: http://milemarkers.runnersworld.com/ Lots of barely concealed stuff in here...

    RICO / Grand Jury etc.

    So, after today's matinee, what's the underlying theme....need some more connected and smarter members of this communitee to flesh out what could be coming next. As usual, Race Radio has intimated that there is more to come, and I, like many here, trust him implicitly. Will there be a RICO...

    Did Nike pay $500,000 to Verbruggen to cover up Armstrong positive?

    Phil won't have an email address that is accessible by the public - better to go to US brand VPs and BOD members: as someone upstream said, they don't need this kind of thing...John Slusher, VP of Global Sports Marketing would be a good place to start...

    Did Nike pay $500,000 to Verbruggen to cover up Armstrong positive?

    There's a lot to this: editorial boards and publishers won't let accusations like this print unless legal has gone throught them - there is clearly a paper trail. Here's Nike's senior management: http://nikeinc.com/pages/executives Their email address protocol is firstname.lastname@nike.com...

    Fun stuff from Velocipede Salon

    Riding with a now retired pro who was with what is now Spidertech, I remember him telling me that Ryder, after Phonak dissolved, contacted the Canadian conti-pro team so for a ride: consensus amongst management and exisiting riders was that Ryder had a bit too much of a 'glow' about him to be a...

    Tyler's Book

    Yeah, great book: read it in one sitting. Amazing, not only how much stuff from that we've all read about in this, and prior forums over the years, were verified, but also the whole new set of revelations. What comes across most cleary is how pathologically controlling and vengeful Lance is...

    Michael Barry

    Yeah, that's what I'm interested in: he was on the local ride a couple of years ago at the end of the season, just as he was confirming signing to Sky and apparently was talking a lot about how disgusted he was with Basso at the time and how he couldn't be clean etc... so makes me wonder what he...

    Michael Barry

    Well, ages since I've posted anything, but been wondering about homeboy Mike Barry Jr. (as I know him). Sure, he's been laid up with injuries, surgeries, nuts and bolts etc, but what does he know, and where does he fit into the whole Wonderboy Matrix [Vortex]? He might be the key: never on a...

    Greg was right

    RR - fantastic summation, and great link to an interview I've never seen before. Wonder if someone is going to talk to Greg after the 60 Minutes piece?

    Tyler Hamilton confessions/accusations

    I'm waiting for Nike's reaction - whole lot of 'Livestrong' product out there in -I'd be asking to return it, if I was a retailer - that's a lot of credit notes that the swoosh will have to start issuing...But they don't care - as long as they keep selling sh!t to dopes, they'll keep supporting...

    Tyler Hamilton confessions/accusations

    "EPO" and "Lance Armstrong" trending on Twitter now - the end is nigh! :p Funny the timing of 'Retirement 2.0', no? Co-incidence that he didn't ride the ToC? Him and his team probably didn't just know about the Grand Jury, but also knew that Tyler had blown cover...

    Tyler Hamilton confessions/accusations

    One would hope that that more mainstream press will realize that Tyler and Floyd have a lot, and have, to lose from this - no 'book deal' will make for this - glad that Juliet Macur and Bonnie Ford have been on this since day one - inevitable NYT article will raise some eyebrows. Wonderboy...

    Tyler Hamilton confessions/accusations

    Um, is it just me, or is the first time Tyler has explicitly admitted to PED use? He says 'like we all did' clearly about injecting EPO. Boy, ill-timed lawsuit from the UCI, too - that won't look good when the questions about the Tour De Suisse start popping up in 3, 2, 1 ....
