If it walks like a corrupt official and quacks like one...

Uh yea Pat, nothing suspicious here at all... Jebus man, he can actually move his mouth and say those things as though people will believe him.

This is why so many, including McQuaid, look the other way when it comes to Armstrong:

Then if you look at cycling, there have only been two truly global stars: Eddy Merckx and Lance Armstrong,” he added. “If you go Kuala Lumpur, the man in the street would know who Lance Armstrong is. If you ask him who Fabian Cancellara is, he wouldn't have a clue.

Whether it's true or not, they believe he is the golden goose in cycling. To go after Armstrong, from their view, is to go after the industry that pays them. Makes no sense.

The sick thing is that his patio furniture cost more than his first donation.

You bitter cancer lover.

 

[WonderLance]

you guys must be alergic to winning or something. lance armstrong is keeping the sport alive during the global financial crisis, his donations are probably some of the only money the uci is getting.

Not to mention the billions of sponsorship dollars he brings in with he superstar personality. Cycling would be dead without armstrong and his money and you know it.

Grow up and love excellence.

Excellence doesn't involve needles unless you're a doctor.

I'd argue with you but I know you get a serious Lance in your Pants seeing the ultra-debaters respond. Good for a laugh.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This WonderLance is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive.

Only two points for naming the movie reference, since those who don't know it should be publicly flogged.

Two separate donations.

Pro cycling is hilarious.

Sorry but the Russians, Kazakhs, and Rupert Murdoch are keeping the sport alive during the global financial crisis.

Creepy avatar, by the way.

Jabba the Hutt said it in Return of the Jedi, referring to Princess Leia, who was in disguise as a bounty hunter, who had just pulled a thermo-detonator inside Jabba's Palace.

Give me a cookie.

Okay, then use a proper photo.

Of course this could also be Bubba's bitch at the Federal Pen if all goes well...

Rupert Murdoc is mainlining dope to team sky.

The dirty Kazaks cant pay their riders.

Lance is doing it clean and fighting cancer.

I think we can all see who is best for cycling.

When I jog with Lance he always runs just behind me.

I dont think Lance would be the *****.

You are funny on all fronts. Who will be the first to bite on this bit of cheese?

In some Italian and Irish neighborhoods it just called "protection".

 

[hfer07]

So now is 125k.....
my question is: how long is going to take to the UCI/McQuaid to acknowledge that the real amount was 500k?

5'8", 170 lbs, One Ball....

Yep, he'd dominate inside.

 

[tubularglue]

It's 500,00$ and that is what she had knowledge of. Interpol is going to have a "pipe dream" going through the UCI's books

 

[Dr. Maserati]

A press release from his Excellency Pat McQuaid, President of the UCI (when Heins away):

Achtung Achtung .......... ** CEASE AND DESIST **

The UCI wish to clarify that the $500,000 donation made by Mr Lance Armstrong was in fact only $100,000.

The UCI wish to clarify the above paragraph and now say it was $25,000.
The UCI wish to clarify that we have no idea how much was given or when and will exercises its right to suspend those who do not suspend judgment - cease and desist.

Furthermore the UCI have checked the Biological Passport of Fabian Cancellara and we can confirm he has never been to Kuala Lumpar and no-one has heard of him - however we gratefully accept his donation and have used this to buy a shredder and a can of petrol for our accountancy department in the fight against transparency.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Painful reading that article and Pat's words. To think that some people would believe that what Pat says is entirely true, and the money that exchanged hands was entirely altruistic and on the up and up.

Yes, Pat can be counted on to clean up the sport:
