Jennie Longo pulls a Rasmussen

[skippy]

Each time i have ridden with Jeannie i have noted that her equipment was generally older than mine ! Fact is if you asked the Americans or Aussies to ride her equipment they would refuse to compete !

The Lady turns up at the Romandie Tour TT in the Station Wagon with Hubbie in past years and the contrast between her and the others is like she is " David " and they are " Goliath "! A bad day for her lets them have the podium ! Guess it was a bit of a squeeze when she brought her Father to Sion ! My motorola Handy/mobile phone is so old i am unable to download the photo of the three of us taken together ! Any help getting the software from somewhere appreciated ?

Anyone wondering why the UCI less wants frames to have their "Stamp of Apporoval " need wonder no longer because her frames are so old they would be auto disqualified ! Currently ORF fm4 is broadcasting a program about cycling in German so if anyone can give me a " heads up would appreciate !

My impression of the uciless calling on racers at 6am was skewed since i was unaware that the racers choose to nominate 6am in many cases but then there are many that join the " Dawn Patrol " and thus frustrate those that choose to disrupt the Racers sleep in the hope of telling their friends ( have they any? ) that they got a result .

Not going to Copenhagen unless Jeannie is there ! She is class and all the rest Men included are also rans !

I am so impressed that you have so much contact with famous people.

I think we should assume that anyone you have ridden with is wonderful, and especially clean. The UCI should be informed immediately!

I can't wait for more stories about how you have ridden with the stars. Thank you for your contributions.

 

[fatandfast]

If you lived in S.Cal , Boulder or Colorado Springs you can have dozen of stories just from doing Wed, rides. I wonder if there are a Longo/Lance camera photo or two to go w these tales I know they have ridden together. Maybe an Overend/Longo photo somebody has got one come on

 

[Velodude]

Hang on, shes the most tested athlete in the world. Wonder what Lance has to say about this.

Lance would be saying:

"Stupid. Why didn't she "altitude" train in Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes country, Canary Islands, where drug testers do not frequent?"

 

[Cimacoppi49]

I thought a certain 7 time winner* of the Tour de France was the most tested athlete on the planet. I hope we don't have a run in between these two at a certain eatery in Aspen.

[Papparrazzi]

Plenty of "anti aging clinics" too.

Love it!

@french fry " Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit "! Whilst you exercise your finger on the keyboard i endure the weather and the difficulty of finding somewhere to stay whilst in the bourgogne with the TDF ! Perhaps when i next arrive nearby with the TDF you will accomodate me and in return you can chance your luck that some of the racers will speak to us OR if a rest day will allow us to ride with them !

Had you read any of my blogs you will see that i may not be everybody's cup of tea but because of what i try to do about helping promote "HANDI SPORT or SPORT ADAPTEE as the french now call it , i get lucky occasionally and meet a few the ancients as well as the current crop of Cycle Athletes most of whom the " mushroom Farm " misalign to amuse themselves or entertain their " penfriends " in the clinic !


Not sure who or what you are but i hope this post helps your friends to see you for what you are ! Perhaps there are some locals attempting to represent FRance at the Paraympic that with spending less time on the computer
you will be able to assist in a small way .
Will be adding to the post on Jeannie in the next days and the photo will be available as soon as the " Software " is found .

Careful skippy.
Some guys in the Clinic are pretty tough.

Brave enough to insult Ms Longo.
Take that slap slap.

Me, I'm not brave enough.
She would kick my *** - both on or off the bike yikes.
Thank you ma'am, may I have another.

Jeannie4Ever.

That she doped doesn't mean she's a bad person or any less patriotic in her representation of France (if she was/is patriotic?) or anything else. It just means that she doped. And both "good" and "bad" people dope.

So there are good person dopers and bad person dopers.
Thats sweet.
But you said she was "phenomenally fcked"
Is that a "good person" thing or a "bad person" thing?

It's neither. It just refers to the likelihood of her talking her way out of the allegations, which aren't limited to missing tests.

 

[Benotti69]

Is Joe Papp still on the supply side of the equation in 2011?

doubt it but as microdosing with epo is still part of the cocktail of choice i guess mademoiselle Longo is still sipping from that fountain.

can everyone please stop quoting Polish?!!
The ignore thing is useless!

So, Joe, you admit that you sold dope to her/husband, why didn't you say that earlier, to the proper channels (WADA, French AD)?
Just curios.

 

[Anonymous]

Sounds to me like they wanted her to miss some tests, so they can ban her quietly, she can retire quietly, and the rest is swept under the carpet.

i dont figure that in a media obsessed world. Longo get a quiet ban. A word in her ear that she will be banned, but she gets in her retirement and nothing is followed up then its quiet, too late for that now after hearing Joe Papp.

Not really - if anything it sounds as though she had raised suspicions, probably through her filling of whereabouts (or perhaps info from JP) and she was subject to extra scrutiny.
There is nothing quiet about catching/exposing Longo.

 

[jamiephillips]

She's no Beryl Burton. When asked about drugs BB claimed to prefer "a nice cup of tea!" Real class!

 

[Polish]

Ah, so using your terminology and your definition of "phenomenally fcked",
would you agree that Vino is "phenomenally fcked" too?

Maybe even more "phenomenally fcked" than Jeannie?

Although you insult Jeannie and praise Vino.
Just trying to understand why.

Here is a photo I took of jeanie winning a crit in Fort Colins, Colorado, a few weeks ago (she won the TT, Crit, and RR that wekend). The next week she finished 10th in the Aspen stage race.

You ride ?

Interesting that you write "that she doped" and not "if she doped", as if to confirm that you have some personal knowledge of her doping situation.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay. Didn't read the entire thread... Firts of all, pulling a Rasmussen is basically being geographically challenged... like thinging Mexico lies in Spain (or was it Italy?)

Also all this whereabout stuff had me thinking a little: How long do you guys think it'll take before someone comes up with a microchip which is then injected in the athlete, constantly sending out their whereabouts? Or maybe that's a little too weird/Sci-Fi...

 

[skippy]

"You ride ? Comment by a guy using " MD etc "as a moniker , suggesting a level of intelligence !
Many of the racers ask me why they see me carrying the bike , fact is when the race passes i can stand and watch or make some progress whilst awaiting the next batch of riders !
Today's blog post includes meeing another "Cycling Personality " !

Carry an iPhone and run one of the many training tracking apps. I use Endomondo, and my missus always knows where I've been. And if necessary, using the live tracking, can tell where I am, and when I'm likely to arrive back home.

There's no excuse at all. Refusing to use a mobile phone or laptop? Pah!

 

[joe_papp]

Hey now, I'm on to you

Interesting that you write "that she doped" and not "if she doped", as if to confirm that you have some personal knowledge of her doping situation.

I sometimes find it enjoyable still to discuss current events here in The Clinic, but I can't be lured into precipitously divulging information or evidence here that must come from other sources or is slated for publishing elsewhere (or releasing by authorized hands).

I appreciate your keen eye and sharp intellect, however.

As an aside, there is an interesting written piece on doping and Longo and what not here, and for those who are interested I open-up a bit more in the comments and give a clearer idea of how badly this entire process (which started well before Longo's drama) has kicked the **** out of me and how desperately I would give up all the notoriety in exchange for my freedom and my emotional health and well-being and especially in exchange for the relationships that were so important to me but which couldn't withstand the years of doping-catalyzed turmoil and grief.
