That is understandable (and revealing).

What's revealing? That I've seen his testimony, but not online. What do you want me to do, type it out and put it online? Or are you simply doubting that I've seen the testimony. I mentioned before about your assumptions Mr Coggan. Evidently you were taught well in this regard by Mr. Coyle.
What's revealing to me is the rubbish he sprouted about weight, heart rate, about Lance 'literally starving himself'. How he seemed to presuppose the other riders didn't improve one jot in their years cycling. How he never measured the other riders, so could not say whether Lance improved sufficiently, in relation to their improvements. What's revealing is Coyle couldn't even get his calculations right for saying Lance was 'one in a billion'. What's revealing is that Coyle only focused on the improvements EPO makes and failed to mention the other drugs that his rivals were taking in conjunction with EPO. What is revealing is that yet again Coyle cited the lost weight factor, when all we have is Lance's word for that, and a couple of figures from Coyle which were not relevant. Putting the figures we have for Lance's weight, his loss comes to a staggering one kg. So not alone is Coyle using Lance's own words as regards his weight, for the original paper, he is now using Lance's own words in the SCA trial, to defend the guy against allegations of PED usage, when we know that his weight is such a key component.
And finally, what is revealing to me, is the way you've defended the guy and the paper, as if not one mistake was made by him.
My favourite line though, as I posted earlier: Lance 'literally - he goes hungrier, he's hungrier.. Why his European competitors don't do the same is beyond me?" So did Coyle ring his competitors and ask them how hungry they were? Does Coyle have a special graph for measuring hunger in cyclists? Maybe it starts off with peckish and works its way down to 'I'd murder a pizza.'
Just one snippet....Coyle said in his testimony the following: "Lance's heartrate at maximum is 200 beats per minute (allowing for losing one beat per year according to Coyle as it was 207). That gives him, in and itself, a 5 to 10 percent over other bicyclists."
Now again did Coyle measure the maximal heartrate of Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso and Joseba Beloki? Because otherwise what's the basis for saying Lance's would give him an advantage over 'other bicyclists'?
Secondly, MA contends the following:
"To suggest that someone's heart rate gives them a performance advantage over someone whose maximal heart rate's low is nonsense. I can't understand why physiologists that have worked with USOC - why would they say that."
