Ney the Viking said:Thanks. So the guy took the question as if he bribed them which i can understand. He donated money to the UCI he didnt pay them, paying insinuates recieving something in return, which Lance obviusly doesn't want it to be considered. I am sure if he had said yes someone would get a meaning out of that as well.
Compared to a lot of the other interesting stuff posted in here, this is a bit of a storm in a bucket to me![]()

NashbarShorts said:You're still calling it "donated money"? C'mon, even Patty McQuaid admitted to the press that no other cyclist IN HISTORY had ever made "a donation" to the UCI. Just Mr. 7-Time.

The tour press conference from 99 where he says he's not doping is genius! He's looks sooooo ill at ease and covers his face with his hand half the time - pure gold!

Ney the Viking said:Well unless someone finds proof that the money actually resolved in favours, then yes. Even though its extremely suspicious, especially considering McQaucks and Pharmstrongs changing stories about the matter.
But as long as the rest of the cycling word stands ildly by and does nothing to get McQuaid off the throne and clean the UCI (which technically ought to represent the riders and their interests, right?) I will have to accept is as a donation, because thats what all the other riders do. It's just a crying shame.

thehog said:Your post is fair. Although CyclngWeekly magazine took the trip to Switzerland to view the receipt for the blood machine. They were not allowed to hold it, photograph or look at it closely. It was shown from a distance as proof that the UCI had a receipt(!). They couldn’t see the amount, date of purchase or any other such details. Right you are just need some smart buck to leak the information or the federations to vote out McQuaid. Sadly national federations see their funding cut the minute they support a different nominee. Reference to Germany and Sylvia Shleck.

Didn't they have French police watching them all the time, have their luggage searched, all the hotel room trash searched and didn't this go on for several years?
I find it hard to believe a cycling team could out-smart the French govt. So, Lance & Co. have outsmarted all the respective governments and journalists for a decade and were able to buy off the UCI with $100k?
I believe in the free market. ****, a person can make $500k with a single picture of Britney Spears going topless, but there's no one out there to buy off? Surely if there was something to be found the evidence would surface. I would think that by now the right amount of money would have been thrown at the - doctor, mechanic, soigneur, teammate, etc, etc.......
Omerta be damned, the money is probably there if the proof was.
Okay, flame on....![]()

Why not?
If EVERYONE "knew" Lance and Co were doping, why no early morning/late night AFDL raids? Seemed like the French authorities would simply let them walk all over Lance, "what you have no search warrant, what the heck go to town..."
