Astana transfusion equipment "Criminal"

[Anonymous]

Aside from the possibility of Armstrong being implicated, this pretty much guts Radio Shack's potential Tour team if the team cannot use the half dozen riders who rode the TdF for Astana this year. How strong of a squad can they form without the implicated riders?

(Armstrong)
Leipheimer
Horner
Brajkovic
Steegmans

That is not a bad start. They can always fall back on Fuyu Li.

To read this correctly, you need to imagine Lance sounds like Will Farrell when he is yelling.

Lance: Fu#king pull Fuyu!

Fuyu: 吃我长矛。

Lance: Speak American!

Fuyu: 您是否有鱼?

Lance: Hey Brajkovic, you speak Chinese, right?

Brajkovic: vi ste a orodje kopje.

Lance: This team is AMERICAN, and I am AMERICA and you will respect my authority and speak AMERICAN!

Fuyu: 我今晚搅动油炸物他的驴子。

And hate Christmas.

Levi is happily tweeting away, still silence from JB and LA.

A sign that LL knows he's out of the woods? If I'm right and they ended up leaving that stuff due to an unplanned complication or something, then they know which day it happened, and thus whether it was before or after LL pulled out.

Wonder if UCI will pull Radio Shack ProTour license if this all pans out? Especially with it being JB's team? They certainly were making the new Astana jump through all kinds of hoops to keep the AST PT license this year.

No because Uncle Pat is in their pocket.

Welcome To The Jungle Lyrics

Title: Guns N' Roses -

Welcome to the jungle
We got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money honey
We got your disease


In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Or ASO could refuse to grant them an entry into the TdF. That would be the same thing as revoking their license.

Lance: "Damn, Contador just crop-dusted me."

Toss that salad, Rex. Toss it real good.

I actually laughed out loud, real hard.

Edit: And no, I will not edit it. It is too good and you need to just own it.

Edit #2: It is two minutes later and I am still laughing.

Latest LA twitter:

Lance Armstrong: "And yes, it is seriously cool that Michael Schumacher is back. Can't wait to see it unfold."

Schumacher had a "Sastre moment." He looked at Button winning the title and decided the quality of the top competition was a joke.

Perhaps the organizers of the Tour of Georgia figured out how this is going to fall out.

Awaiting a Tweet from LA:

"Looking forward to our new plans, which include racing the Vuelta instead of the Tour this year..."

Well there is actually DNA - apparently - on needles as well, but you make my point for me. The main issue is IV equipment that they're allowed for medical emergencies. Are they really going to ban people for short cutting the liquid process by using a drip? Woah, crime of the century! It used to be a practise that was allowed not so long ago.

So you are using the forum as a test bed for the BS theories which will eventually surface? What's in the lead right now?

Since this is a criminal investigation, I doubt that "it's not really a crime" is going to end things, but it may work on the faithful. This is my favorite angle you've tried up to now. I'm looking forward to the next installment. Keep us posted!

Good one Alpe - Touche (oh, that was French )

Don't worry, Evans will still collapse at some point and cry like a little girl even if the favorites aren't there.

I don't know about Will Farrell but the comparisons between LA and Eric Cartman have never been clearer!

If the Investigating Magistrate does decide their is enough evidence to issue EAWs, you can bet your bottom dollar even Spanish races will be off Lance's card unless he is 100% certain his DNA is not one of the 7.

Tour de Swiss he could get away with

The odds are now becoming better for Wiggins to podium at Le Tour next time around...Is Le Monde associated with the newspapers owned by SKY by any chance....GO WIGGO

What Astana needs is for France to become part of Germany so they can make a Kloden-esque payment and make everything go away. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

No, those that want to spoil Armstrong's Christmas hate Christmas. It's a thing I'm doing, just run with it.

 

[Rex Hunter]

Schumacher had a "Sastre moment." He looked at Button winning the title and decided the quality of the top competition was a joke.

Yeah, probably.

He might get a surprise when Hamilton is up to speed next year. Could be a classic Contador-Armstrong type situation.

I'll be backing Schumacher against all the haters, of course.

Yeah, good point. Screw all these other guys - go Wiggins!
