Johann was the stalker that day. He may have wanted to talk some of the many attractive ladies that seem to be always close by my side. He must be losing his interest in the carnival fun ride that is Eva Maria.....what was the name of Floyd's 2nd book again?

Think it was Might As Well Marry a Prostitute

Wait - Did Eva move to London too? And why did they move there? So she could work as a stylist for Jodie Marsh??

Back on topic: What was it - oh yeah Lance - you know if they settle it will be kind of like the Kloden thing, pay and it will go away. But of course settling the Qui Tam action is separate and aside from Novitsky.

Please tell me the Axe Body Spray commercials are right and I can get the same results after a shopping trip to Target

I bet these guys use Axe Body Spray.

26 It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life Lance Armstrong with Sally Jenkins 2000

Given how internally it delves, the genesis of It’s Not About the Bike is unlikely. Armstrong first met Jenkins, his ghostwriter, at a business meeting pulled together by their agents. He was considering a number of candidates to write his book, yet chose a female sportswriter on The Washington Post who made it very clear that she knew nothing about cycling.

Why her? “I’m from Texas,” was her first answer. Plus: “The nature of testicular cancer, he thought, made guys self-conscious.” Plus, she said, “It was crucial to him to work with someone who could convey his relationship with his mother.”

The book, of course, is less about winning the Tour de France than winning the fight with cancer. When Jenkins started collaborating with Armstrong, his first Tour win was just a few weeks behind him.

“He was still very shy and uncomfortable in the public spotlight,” she said. “He’s changed a lot in that respect. One of the first things that happened was after our first two-hour interview, he said, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t sit down for two hours and talk about myself.’”

She owed the solution to Armstrong’s wife at the time, Kristin. “She told me, ‘Don’t corner him; if you corner him, he’ll box his way out,’” she said

“I said, ‘What do you want to do about the question of doping?’ Again, he said, ‘Ask me.’ I could do no more than that. He doesn’t mind talking about it. He’ll talk about it for ever because it drives him nuts.

“Would I be disappointed if it turns out he wasn’t clean? Yes, but I could never be disappointed in him personally. You have to understand — he is my friend. I always liked him, from the first time we had dinner. He loves to relax and drink beer and laugh and tell silly stories. We laughed a lot. I got the best of Lance, the most relaxed, funniest, unpretentious Lance.”

Armstrong, she said, was “intensely interested” in the process of doing the book. She would draft a chapter and he would ring her back and go through it line by line.

This is all quotes from his book? Where is your post / take or comments regarding the quoted material? Not challenging your post just do not understand.

Ok I went to the link and came up on the front page for the fish wrap. I am not sure what your post was about but maybe the Prenate test for birth defects?

I have to register to read the linked story? Can you just post a brief synop?

While we're back on topic, anyone else get the feeling that we may only be weeks away from indictments?

Yes I think you have to pay in order to sign up. I did not try but tried to close the request and just surf the site but it will not allow.

It could be that something will come before the new year. All is quiet on the Western front at the moment anyhow.

Is he about to admit he was schtupping Eva Longoria? Maybe he is getting a hand on the oedipus complex

We can only hope and pray. We have had intervention with Lance thrice about whom he has been dating. We would like to protect Lances'" genetic purity."

Right around Christmas. JK. Really though, Novitsky didn't go to Europe to vacation and I'm sure he's got what he was after there. I'd guess sometime in January.

You're "reaching" on this one. At least I want to believe Eva needs more than a single cyclinder delivery...and no personality.

Lance getting convicted or admitting to anything won't change anything on that matter....

It will keep the fraud from morphing into the gross and unrealistic spectacle it's been for the seven years Armstrong won the Tour.

It will tone down the expectation that only superhuman performances matter.

It will keep all those disappointed fanboys from believing in miracles when miracles are physiologically beyond a rider's grasp, and bring some sanity to what is possible and not possible in athletics.

It will check the ridiculous notion that achievements of drug-fueled athletes should be given the benefit of the doubt.

It will keep cheaters from enriching themselves by putting halos on their heads with good deeds done from ill-gotten achievements.

It will make people question what they see and not follow blindly off a cliff like a bunch of yellow bracelet-clad lemmings.

These are all good points. These also apply to the pistol.

 

[Berzin]

There's almost no question she's given in at this point. She initially lied under oath to keep her job and to maintain her family (there's a disabled family member to consider, and rumors of financial support from LA), and now she'll have to tell investigators what she knows or risk separation from her family. A sad irony.

I believe this woman's life situation is overblown by quite a bit.

At first I thought she was a struggling single mom with a sick child caught between a rock and a hard place.

But she had a physical relationship at one point with Armstrong, and she married high up into the corporate structure at Oakley.

She was vapid careerist and an opportunist. Her business and personal relationships speak to that. I have sympathy for the kid, but for her, nothing.

Or as Nietzsche suggests, we'll just find another donkey to deify.

She's "schtuppable". So when are the hookers from the strip bar gonna start hanging him out to dry in exchange for being on the cover of the Enquirer?

 

[Berzin]

Wow, some guy that goes by the name lastchild on RBR wrote "the only good that can come of this is the discovery of Floyd's body, hanging from a noose..."

Man, when you challenge a 12 year old girl's crush, she will get mean.

I wonder what all of those middle-aged, yuppie Cat-4 wanna-be's are going to do when their man-crush is exposed.

No more Jordan Catalano for you guys to obsess over!!!

These are all good points. These also apply to the pistol.

Not even remotely close.

Lance admitting anything would be a start on all the counts you mention.

You both raise good points, but sadly, LA will not admit to anything, and the circle of lies with just get a bigger radius.

Well sartain, my opinion is that miracle boy will finally have to admit one point. While biting his lip, the spin will be
"It was a level playing field - all riders were on a program"
A statement as such will keep a lot of the fanboys onside. Then, will I try to convert fanboys? ...nah, let them be. As an example, when flicker finally rests in the six foot box, he will still be wearing a yellow band.

There will also be the "but just look how much he has done for 'cancer awareness' with his foundation so you guys should ease up because people around the world are just soooo aware of cancer now, and just because he was on his bike 6 hours each day and then spent a few minutes with a blood bag, a needle, and a shower on occasion still means nothing but he was still the greatest champion ever, and if it weren't for the French and that filthy liar FLandis we could have kept the doping where it belongs...in the hallowed halls of the UCI, where only the real cheater dopers were busted, because everyone recognizes that a man like Armstrong brought so much more money, fame and fans to the sport than anyone ever in the history of all sports also knows that when you have a cash cow, you do whatever you need to do to protect it."

Again, anyone not completely disgusted by that narcissistic tool warrants nothing but the same disdain I feel for the man himself.

 

[lostintime]

How all this will play out is the US Attorney will charge Armstrong with something, he'll beat the charge. The US taxpayers pay a huge attorney bill, and the prosecutor ends up looking like a bigger dope than Armstrong.

Ahhh yes, the fanboy dream. Nope, the one balled narcissist may not do time, but his reign of lies is about to end. Everyone will soon know that he is the biggest fraud in sporting history. Who else has ever had multiple commercials about how they weren't doping, and one in particular that used images of suffering cancer patients to augment his lies? That's right, there has never been anyone who allowed their ego to dig that kind of pit when the reality is that he was shooting up more than a heroin junkie. **** Lance Armstrong and **** anyone who believes he represents anything but fraud, deceit, and narcissism...then again, I would suspect that most of the people supporting him now are probably as guilty of those traits as is their hero.

Fanboy? ... You wish . It's just the way it happens all to often in the US .

What do you really think is going to come of these charges? Will the time and money spent do even come close to the meager punishment he may receive? It sounds more to me like guys buttin' heads. Who's gonna be the man the beats the man? LOL ...... grow a set.
