If the French think they're going to ruin Armstrong's Christmas then they're mistaken. The Armstrongs are going to have the best Christmas ever!

 

[Rex Hunter]

LOL!

Well, if we cross-reference to Lance's numbers where it was speculated that he doped on, or just after the 2nd rest day. That is in Verbier, between Stages 15 and 16, or July 20th - 21st. This would also be the most beneficial time to dope, the early morning of Stage 16 to Bourg-Saint-Maurice over the two massive St. Bernard climbs, with two more tough mountain days to come. This also fits within a few days of the finish, which was also speculated.

Levi was gone by this point in the race, crashing out on Stage 12.

Blood doping takes 24 to 48 hours to work.

EPO takes a week to work. There would be no reason to take EPO in the last week of a tour.

You are correct, as he'll be eating grouse, as we have his turkey on here.

He's sure to be confident his next Tour de France, is one he can win!

It only allowed me to see the headline, but I predicted the story before I read it.

Cripes...

Ok fellow Fanboys - this is not looking so good

Maybe now is the time take some of our RadioShack
stock profits off the table...you know, just in case

 

[Rex Hunter]

But who is speculating that he doped on what days?

BREAKING NEWS: ASTANA INNOCENT

Medical equipement has been used to treat Astana riders against the famous Hog flu !

Only Contador didn't receive the vaccine. Why?

 

[Rex Hunter]

I think this story will all blow over, of course, but if by mistake Armstrong is somehow implicated, make no mistake, he's taking everybody down with him...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This story came from Le Monde and not L'Equipe.

This is going to be fun to watch.

Scene: Caribbean ocean, zoom in slowly on yacht anchored off the shore of a small island, pan over stern showing the name, Privacy, to back of man in cap sitting on deck in a lounge chair surround by a couple of topless blondes.

Distinctive cell phone rings, as the man looks at the display, pauses, and answers.

Man: Lance?
(pause)
Man: Thanks. I really appreciate that. It's very nice of you to call to tell me that.
(pause)
Man:: Oh yeah? So what's going on?
(pause)
Man: Get the f--- out of here. You're ****ting me!
(pause)
Man: Sure, sure, you're always welcome here, especially at a time like this. Frankly, I could use some understanding company right now. See ya in a few hours.

I'm thinking this probably goes nowhere because of this:



road.cc/content/news/12285-le-monde-claim-french-tour-de-france-anti-doping-investigation-focused-astana

It's incomprehensible that they would intentionally or even accidentally leave illegal materials in their rooms, or turn them over as "official waste", so there is likely to be some other explanation for all this.

Unless... they were pushed into a corner by circumstances - perhaps the plan to dispose of the waste surreptitiously somehow went awry, and they've been holding their collective breaths ever since?

This case is most likely going to revolve around the answer(s) to the question of why the team would turn over the evidence to the government and not attempt to hide it. I would expect to see DNA analysis of all Astana riders complete before the TdF. However, it is doubtful that the French judicial system will answer the pertinent questions until well after the Tour.

He's in somewhere called "Appleton, WI" according to his twitter.

I note you're calling it a "case". At the moment it's still some gossip in a newspaper repeated from three months ago.

You must be absolutely crapping yourself now Rex, your two fav riders could be going down the toilet. Alpe, i just put in bye bye RS!!!! It's almost an early christmas present except you are opening the christmas present a day early!!!!!!

 

[Rex Hunter]

auscyclefan94 had to add RadioShack after he was prompted. LMAO!

Nice idea, kid.

 

[auscyclefan94]

You're The Poster From Another Board Known As Hombre, aren't you?

Yes, that's true. He changes his name a lot because he gets banned continually because nobody likes him in the real world. He serves under Lord Pharmstrong and is a loyal spy for him over the internet.

4. And educating people on the fact there are many different types of DNA. Every time you touch something there is a very weak DNA code left behind - they are usually not able to make a credible match with that type of genetic code.

In this case Rex, they have obtained DNA profiles, which requires a reasonable amount of DNA, like from a hair root or body fluid. This won't be a case of someone holding the bag and leaving their genetic profile behind.

In case anyone still needs to read it in English. Here's the link to the story on CN's front page.

They key line still is:

"Linking the evidence to individual riders would rely upon the UCI sharing its blood profile data with the French authorities."

What do you guys think the odds are of this happening?

I assume that there is a provision in French criminal law for obtaining fresh DNA samples via warrant. If the investigators cannot access (or seize) the UCI records, it should be a simple matter to obtain a DNA sample from any rider under suspicion who attends a French race.
