There's a reason why Kimmage went over and scanned his body for needle marks. He knew what to look for.
We were talking about "the other bruise". Landis mentioned that Boogerd came up to him and pointed, not said, "look I have one too". Landis claims "they" knew what it meant: that Boogerd had had a transfusion too.
He may well be right. But Boogerd's explanation is still a possible alternative explanation. So without anything said, which Landis admits, how can he guarantee, not guess, that that was what Boogerd's gesture meant.
We are back to the frustrating "no I never saw him actually use it" line. Possibly. Probably even, maybe.
But there are a couple of those "obviously....." accusations in Landis' piece that really irritated me. I have little doubt to think that he believes that is what happened. That ain't the same as "it can be
only that".
I am praying that the most pressing smoking guns are gonna be a lot more solid than just about all that we have so far, I guess. Part of me can't wait until the fed's fact finders mission has run its course.
But I have seen a few of those "surely now" moments, and I have learned to temper my expectations and hopes. It should be an inevitable outcome, at last. It really should, you'd say.
I will believe it when I see it. I got those bruises still healing too.
