Well this will be unpopular, but so far not a shred of evidence has turned up to collaborate the claim that McQuaid overruled a positive test, and now that he has a paper trail for the machine, it does seem the money was spent on this anti doping equipment - despite the initial skepticism.

The explanation about the nature of the two donations - one smaller personal one, and one later by Tailwind - does also explain why there may have been some confusion over who gave what and when.

Lastly, the last time McQuaid said there was nothing wrong with a blood profile, he was referring to Basso, and the later published results confirmed this to be true. So he does have credibility when he states that there is nothing currently wrong with Armstrong's blood profile. That's good news.

He's an easy target but I think we have to give him credit on this occasion.

1) WTF is a collaborate
2) McQuaid was not president of the UCI at the time.

Isn't ignoring all the evidence and asserting someone is corrupt a form of trolling?

That's what people used to do in the middle ages, isn't it?

I don't know, I haven't had a chance to collaborate all the evidence.

I think the price of bribery went up between 2001 and 2005, or was the $25k just a downpayment? What if LA got caught doping twice, thus 2 payments? And before anyone points it out, I know the $25k payment was made in 2002 but it was for a positive in the 2001 TDS.:confused:

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.

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.

did you know that what we in North American call a "moose" is called an "Elk" in Europe? (sorry to inject something with meaning into the thread)

I don't know what you see but I see the face of innocence here, a fair-minded, progressive-thinking, forward looking administrator who despite being under siege is determined to clean up cycling. Why do you love corruption?

Vincent: It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same stuff over there that we got here, but it's just – it's just there it's a little different.
Jules: Example?
Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: Nah, man, they got the metric system, they wouldn't know what a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese".
Jules: "Royale with Cheese".
Vincent: That's right.
Jules: What do they call a moose?
Vincent: A moose is a moose, but they call it an elk.
Jules: A moose is an elk? What do they call an elk?
Vincent: I don't know, I didn't see no elk.

I don't know another sport which celebrates an average performing, mid-pack athlete as their poster child like cycling does. It's strange. It's not a strategy that's built for the long-term. I think a lot of people are just plain bored of it all. Including the riders. *
