OK, this takes the cake.

These two basically hate each other.
They rode against each other while on the same team.
Lance stole his riders and team out from under him.
They never talk or speak.

NOW Contador is whining in the press that Lance hasnt called him or spoken to him about this recent scandal.

Really?

Did Lance ever whine about Alberto's silence on the Novitzky issue?
Contador could have come out and said that Disco and Bruyneel run a clean operation and he cant imagine Lance or any of the team doing anything wrong.

Did He?
No.

Did Lance whine?
No.

Case closed.

Alberto is a whining little girl.
Crises like this reveal his true character.

CYclingnews:
The Spaniard has revealed to Eurosport that while he has received support from many sources, he has heard nothing from his current team Astana nor from former teammate Lance Armstrong. He said he now has basically no relationship with the Astana team. “I have no communication with them.” Contador has signed to ride with Team Saxo Bank in the coming year, and while “they are holding neutral”, they have indicated their support for him.

As for Armstrong, “He has not sent me any message or called me, but I have heard from other people what he thinks about the issue,” Contador said, without indicating what Armstrong's opinion was.

My apologies. Dumb reply to to a dump post. My only excuse is that Seattle just has too many excellent beers, and when you go out with a few friends and try to sample them all, the results are predictable.

The reporter asked Alberto the question and he answered it. What's your problem?

So what is he suppose to say to him? Alberto, you have a lot to learn ?
I actually think that by Alberto mentioning this in that news conference was a a warning shot to LA that if he is going down, he will drag JB and LA down with him. Now wouldn't that be special?

For the record, back when David Millar was busted for EPO as the reigning World TT champion, it was none other than Lancer who called to offer his support, reportedly telling Millar: "It's no big deal".

As a star rider who was been subject to countless "witchhunts" :)rolleyes:), it's logical to think Lance might have contacted Berto. And thus a reasonable question for a reporter to ask.

Crybaby? It's not like Berto claimed it was all an "Un-american" conspiracy and he didn't deserve it 'cause he'd just done too much doggone good for too many doggone people... :eek:

Sorry I joke. I hope Berto comes through this in a good way. He seems like an emphatic person and a great champion. The you tube thing with apologising to andy was a bit much for me personally though.

Unlike many in the world, I think stupidity needs to be seen more often.

Consider this a bump.

I think you need to cut Alberto some slack here.....journo was obviously trying to get a reaction to create a bigger story by going the Lance angle.

Maybe next time someone asks if Lance has called he'll just say "No", that way none of us can read anything extra into it.
