ESPN commentary piece that pretty much gets it, IMO: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?id=6583566

I think ESPN shows a new episode every Sunday morning, with reruns all week at 3pm ET. They didn't have any of the video up on their website yet.

While I wouldn't compare him to Nifong, Novitzky doesn't exactly have a pristine record. Sure, nothing has stuck yet, but Nifong didn't have a checkered past before the Duke case either. Expect Lance to attack Novitzky in the press as more and more stuff comes out.

There's a couple references to "people familiar with the matter" in this article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704075604575357423818505614.html While not leaked testimony from the grand jury, they are comments on an ongoing investigation. There's a reason Novitzky always...

Are you saying she forgot about the hospital incident due to one night of drinking? Or are you implying that she has a more consistent problem with alcohol or drugs that caused her to misremember? The latter is what I inferred from your statement.

This post makes no sense. The reason that you hear anonymous leaks from sources involved in the investigation is that a quote on the record would cause them to get fired. On the other hand, Stephanie and her lawyer are allowed to comment on her testimony. The difference between the two is not...

No that was pretty un-classy too. Or is it non-classy. Regardless, I don't condone either one.

Character assassination. Classy.

So the fact that Ashenden brought up the serial dilution method as well, and I basically took back my critique of his interview, does that mean anything to you? Get a clue.

There are some pretty good quotes in the comments section of this article. Read the two describing serial dilution methods. It also got posted by myself and another member at RBRwhen this interview came out. Once again, to assume this happened is to assume that someone had the codes, had the...

Scientists commenting on the interview and scientists I know in my personal life all said it would be pretty simple to dilute EPO down to an appropriate level before putting it in the sample. On this point, Ashenden clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's purposely being obtuse...

Do you want me to ask my girlfriend? She's almost done with her PhD in Biology. She told me it's a simple process. You can see it described here. It's alarming that Ashenden thought you would have to pipette the actual amount of EPO, and not just dilute it. It seems like he's not that...

Ashenden may know a lot of stuff...but he doesn't even seem to have heard about serial dilution. See the first comments here: http://nyvelocity.com/content/features/2009/spiking-armstrongs-99-samples He's not exactly infallible.
