Kimmage interviews Floyd Landis: Sunday Times + Bombshell NYVC transcript [merged]

[thehog]

[mod comment]
Kimmage interviewed Floyd Landis, which appeared in 2 versions. First as a piece in the Sunday Times magazine (link here) and a couple of days later as a long unedited transcript on NYVelocity (link here)

The two threads on it are merged, as it is the same interview, just in 2 versions.
Part I, the Sunday Times one and its preamble are covered in posts #1-185
Part II, the NYVC bit, starts on post #186, if you want to get to the meat quickly.

How far will he go? Will he pull the roof off it? Will he go into Livestrong? He has he spoken with? Will Armstrong sue again? Will there be some strange cartoon diagrams of how EPO works? Will the UCI get some stick?

For those who don't know the Sunday Times is a broad sheet and Kimmage has been given a two page spread. There's plenty of works that be jammed in. The paper is extremely well respected and all share ownerships or allegiances by the writer and owners of the publications are declared at the top the article.

You can no longer read the Sunday Times for free on the internet so if you wish to see the article you'll have to pay for the view.

Thanks Hog for the update.

I guess the one thing SI couldn't do and they was back up the article on TV (bar ESPN).

At least the Times can give it the full assault on Sky. Thank god the Tour of No Comment is over.

Thanks Hog for the update.

Uhh... did you forget to log out and log back in as one of your other identities, hog?

I'd be less generous with your praise for the Sunday Times if I were you - it's a News Corp entity after all, so don't ever discount an agenda. That said, I trust Kimmage, even if I don't have the same level of faith in his employer.

It's sad when they start talking to themselves.

No sock puppet. I just like to praise a good post when I see one.

Mods can confirm.

Hello. How's your writing going?

It's still going, thanks. Currently finishing a novella called 'Merckx' (not cycling related as such). Soon be time for another round of sending out submissions and waiting on the rejection letters. Such a positive attitude!

 

[poupou]

I can confirm

I can confirm too that The Hog usually praises his own good post.

While im not expecting any new revelations from kimmage (unless he has new quotes from floyd to throw out there), I am expecting a really well presented summation of all the stories and allegations that the general public can understand (the SI article really was a bit too wordy).

That said, I have a feeling kimmage will be the first one to openly accuse in the press over the last year, of Lance of getting cancer from doping.

edit: just seen, its a full landis interview. could be fun

The main character is a boy who inherits an old steel-framed Merckx, so I guess it is cycling-related, but it's not the central theme. Can you tell I have trouble writing synopses?

Let's hope Bobke does a little prep this time around for his response in another "versus.com" rambling video posting.

Any predictions on Lance's (or "Juan Pelota's", or any of the Armstrong Kid psuedo) Twitter accounts will be?

Date of Article

Thanks for the heads up Hog. I wouldn't normally buy the Sunday Times but I definitely will this weekend.

+1

Is it confirmed as being published this coming weekend then?

TheHog is referring to the fact that he posted a reply post to his OP.

Boss-Hog for the crazy Cooter…you got your ears on good buddy?

No new revelations? What a suprise.
Yet another summary of SSDD.

SSSDD.

And "Lance getting cancer from doping" will not end well.
Who is Kimmage using as a source? MMA Wrestler? Floyd?

hey it's polish with the SSDD posts.

no new revelations and the article hasn't appeared yet

for your wonderboy to have had so many revelations of such a negative nature in his short life must be some kind of record.
