I Told You So Thread

[TexPat]

Thanks to all of the people who have worked hard at this-- and often to great personal and or professional peril.

Betsy and Emma are at the top of this list.

It has been great to see the growing level of support for the Truth. Now is a good time for me and you to say...

I told you so.

Sincerely,
Mike Anderson

P.S. I knew the tide had turned when the letters of gratitude exceeded the letters of hate and disdain.

 

[ebandit]

wish

wish i had been able to say 'told ya so' all those years ago

read from lance to landis.....................so i knew it was happening

never thought the truth would fully be unveiled

kudos to david walsh and paul kimmage who never gave up

 

[Benotti69]

Absolutely.

Betsy
Emma O'Reilly
Stephen Swart
Mike Anderson
Bassons
Kimamge
Walsh
Ballestre
etc

lots of people swam against the tide and suffered for it.

Chapeau

I'd just like to raise my glass to all of those who spoke out about Lance in the early days, especially the journalists like Walsh and Kimmage who went there, found the truth, and reported it under immense pressure.

 

[L'arriviste]

Hugs to Mike and all the original truthsayers: you know who you are!

And so do we now, more or less.

I'll be honest - I am somewhat sad today.
Back at this cr*p yet again, but hopefully this draws attention to the fraud that our sport has become.

It is an opportunity to rescue our sport.
So, I will certainly be raising a glass in honor of Betsy and Emma - and I will also raise a glass in your too.
Thanks Mike.

As a cycling fan, I want to say many thanks to all who decided to reveal the truth. I really hope to better times ahead

I did want to give a big FAT "I told you so" to ALL the dopes on bikeforums.net, who gave me soooooooooooooooooooooooo much chit for standing firm on the Uniballer doping(and also a big F YOU to you) as well.

 

[Cyivel]

Massive respect and mad props to all those that fought the good fight over the years and never gave in despite being put under substantial pressure to do so.

This...well done.

When Lance "won" the 93 World Pro race my very first reaction was " doped to the gills"...have never thought otherwise.

Having been barred from forums..slagged down so many times and literately abused, even had my mental health questioned, it is indeed a great day to be able to say , " told you so".

Cheers to all those that have worked so hard to bring this about.

And to everyone of those cheating *******s that stole careers and still do ..even the " nice guys"..thanks for nothing.

I can relate...believe me.

 

[Tinman]

Respect, well done persevering, and thanks!

But don't go yet. UCI to be cleaned up next, before history will simply repeat.

 

[Cloxxki]

Shaking your hand Mike! Hope betters times start soon now.

One of the things surpising me of all I read today (EU time), is that Lance may not have been on EPO in '93. Or only very secretive and inefficiently. OR, Carmichael's transfusion knowledge came to use. Lots of dope available and in his body with little doubt, but I expected stronger info on that era.

Not in '93 fits with talk we have heard from riders who were around that year.

Meh, no matter now - let's celebrate! A beer all round!

 

[mewmewmew13]

I'm pouring a glass of red right now!
I am raising it to you all...Mike, Betsy, Emma,...and many others ...JV, I don't mean to slight anyone.
And to you clinicians and friends!!

Everyone has been through much together....onward and upward!

Cheers!

 

[TubularBills]

Thank YOU for your integrity and courage.

This wouldn't have happened without YOU!

Thank you for your love of the sport and conviction.

You are an extraordinary and VERY patient man.

Kudos to the utmost, have a drink on me,

TB

 

[Fausto's Schnauzer]

I believe you mean "putz" in your reference to that dewshbag Coolhand. WHY oh why is he still there?!

Strength and Honor.

Thank you for rationalizing and validating tenacity & persistence.

Lol!!!

 

[hfer07]

Why was he so confident? It could be tied to a statement by Vaughters in his under-oath testimony: "I had a conversation with Lance in which he told me that the UCI should have detected a high level of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, a doping product and naturally occurring hormone indicative of testicular cancer in males) in his doping controls when he had cancer, and failed to do so.

I'm pleased I was right all the way when I rationalized a decade ago the very reason of why LA was fiercely protected by the UCI: He & his clever lawyers blackmailed them with the above..........

 

[Race Radio]

It is days like this I miss House.....what is he doing today?
