I am constrained by legal principles like martial privilege, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
I write about authenticity because I know what it is to be disingenuous.
Race Radio said:She was accused of being a drug mule, but cannot respond because of an NDA? Really?
Yup
Big Daddy said:She is lieing again. There was no Non-disclosure agreement. If there was, which there isn't, how valid would it be? It's like Kristen saying, "hey everybody, the reason why I won't own up to anything is because I signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the drug dealer supplying the steroids saying that I can't say anything about this illegal activity that I participated in."
Copout plain and simple. But calculated of course. Don't blame her for keeping quiet but don't dress it up as anything other than self interest.Susan Westemeyer said:"martial" privilege?
I assume she means "marital" and I also had always understood that was optional -- one couldn't be forced to testify against a spouse, but could if one wanted to -- and further that it didn't apply to ex-spouses.
Big Daddy said:She's a coward. Didn't admit to jack. She knows stuff and is complicit with USPS cheating, but her cowardly silence says a lot about who she really is. She'll never apologize for anything.
WTF? He didn't even hint at violence against women. That was all you.rickshaw said:BigD, you sure sound like a tough guy, I bet you'd like to smack that lying B around, like a tough guy should. But you've forgotten something. Not only is she a "coward", she's also the ex-wife of a once powerful (maybe still powerful) sociopath with a documented history of destroying people's lives. She is the mother of this sociopath's children, and will be their mother forever AND, Big D she is forced to associate with The sociopath for the rest of her life.
A lot of people, myself included, would say she has been courageous, maybe foolish, to say anything at all in public.
You could go beat up on another girley victim, or kick your dog, or educate yourself on abuse issues. BigD, littleB

For now I will give her the benefit of the doubt, given that her "wasband" is what he is, and she is not able to free herself of him and his paid thugs because of the kiddies. She has basically confirmed her role in the doping which is already pretty good. Maybe someday she will come out with the whole story.
thehog said:There was the story that Lance installed the "keystroke" logger on her computer. He cracked her email password so he could read her emails.
That's when he thought she was having an affair and he knew the stuff she was emailing Betsy.
And yes there is a link.
An article published last week in Le Monde by French journalist Stéphane Mandard contained a claim that Lance Armstrong might be the mystery hacker of the LNDD lab, according to allegations by Betsy Andreu in her deposition of January 17, 2006 in the Armstrong/SCA Promotions arbitration case. When Armstrong's attorney Timothy Herman deposed Mrs. Andreu, asking "did you already tell anyone that Lance Armstrong has hacked your computer", Betsy Andreu, the wife of former professional cyclist Frankie Andreu said "I think [Armstrong] has hacked my computer and we are currently suing America On Line to find the IP address of who hacked my computer."
Betsy Andreu had already filed a complaint with the Dearborn, Michigan police department on March 31, 2005 when she tried to sign on to her AOL account and found that someone else had already signed on to her account and that the same thing happened to Frankie Andreu's computer the next day.
Betsy Andreu told Le Monde's Mandard that "Lance wanted to control everything; anything anyone might say about him and he was ready to do anything to do it." According to Mrs. Andreu, her computer wasn't the only one Armstrong had hacked. She claimed in her SCA deposition in January 2006 that former Oakley sports marketing manager Stephanie McIlvain thought that Armstrong had hacked her computer and had placed a bug in the computer of his ex-wife Kristin as the couple was going through their divorce.
"Stephanie told me that [Armstrong] told her he put a bug in Kristin's computer and every word she typed was sent directly to him. Stephanie was scared that Lance had also hacked her computer." Although AOL refused to cooperate with Ms. Andreu, she told Mandard the she next intended to take the matter up with the Justice Department.

KayLow said:Personally, I cannot wait for her confession -- delivered via press release -- in which she writes about how, when she first met Lance, she fell deeply in love, but only later discovered that all was not what it seemed. She will then tell us that she had serious misgivings about Lance's doping that kept her up late at night. Sometimes she even cried herself to sleep, she will reveal. To make us feel better about the whole thing, Kristin will argue that her only choice was to help Lance dope or give up her dreams of being happily married to the father of her children. Next she will write that she regrets having ever helped Lance dope and that she is confident that cycling has turned a corner and that no longer will spouses of riders feel compelled to help them dope. To make us feel better about her more recent success as a Runner's World writer, she will finish her confession by revealing that she has not assisted in any sporting fraud whatsoever since 2006.
