@lancearmstrong why don't you get Novitsky to test your stored blood samples for plasticisers? Clean this whole mess up in a trice.

@LaMongieFan that's 100% fine by me. Go right ahead. 6:22 PM Oct 28th via web in reply to LaMongieFan

@lancearmstrong Great! Will you get him to re-test the '99 samples as well and clear that mess up too?

I should get into this twitter thing. I think I am missing out on a whole lot of poo slinging.

Is it possible to do a screen capture of something like this or would it only show one side of the conversation? This stuff might be worth holding on to.

I like Quickrelease's idea


Yeah, he has got to be one of the most arrogant pro athletes. I just can't believe how he is carrying himself and how he can actually lie to himself and others about what he and how he's been doing in his career. I guess going that far can lead to one actually believing it's true. I hope this doesn't drag on for years. I hope that once it starts, it finishes swiftly. Jeez.

Hey boss! Are you challanging the winners of all the other Gts, stage races, classics etc. for plastecizers also.? From the medical personal I know the good work done by auto transfussion was perfected in 1997. Check your wiki records and get to tweeting. Forget about getting a life you are beyond that! Keep up yer uniballer obscession.

Was that directed at me? I was just posting because I saw it and thought it was interesting, sorry if I offended you.

He's blocked. He retweeted the blocked by lance twibbon earlier. they take about 24 hours to appear.. bet hes got one by the morning.

To be fair, why wouldn't Lance block him? Why would he want some ranter tweeting him every hour with the same inane questions. I am surprised he answered him at all in the first place. He said he was fine with anyone testing for plasticisers, 100% fine. At the end of the day, Armstrong doesn't have to prove anything, thats the investigators job, to put up or shut up.

Weren't transfusions of saline still legal in the 90's?

I'm not sure what date it became illegal to use any transfusion equipment, but I thought it was fairly recent. Plasticisers in those blood samples wouldn't prove anything if a rider could clame it was from a legal saline drip.

I cannot imagine that plasticizers would not be found in blood tests of many riders, including LeMond. I would imagine in the Giro where Greg had dihoreoa that greg might need rehydration? Everyone needs a little help at the high level of the sport, even if it were b vitamin, saline, iron extra glycogen, small amounts of insulin, hormone, human adrenelin extract etc. I thought the same as you yes test all blood samples of all riders to find out the posibilities..... of course it would be interesting to hear the answers, I could guess one, I wanted the ashes of so and so rider transfused inside of me to honor him with a win while a little of him coursed through my veins....

On the other hand platicizer test has not been verified as a legitimate test no? So yet another controversy could be created with the test. I imagine the tweet was to perk up Novitzkys ears, pull him out of the Amsterdam"coffee shop" and out to the labs for a little illegal testing, more ammo for his witch hunt?

I completely agree, but again, I wasn't the one who tweeted the question, I simply saw it and posted it here, not sure why you claimed I am obsessed with LA.

Sorry my mistake. A bunch of my bros here support pummeling Armstrong, you are cool you are not one. The people who support actions like the Luxumberg pre-teen who boos Armstrong while hidden in a crowd for instance.

To me the negative tweets towards Armstrong are the same thing, immature faceless aggression.

I see a lot of that tweetage in pro-cycling, including the guys I like like Phinney, Armstrong and Bruyneel.

Kudos to LeMOnd and Flandis for not getting into tweeting...

Believe it or not, they were legal till 2005.

Lance, forgive me !

It's....it's.... all this pressure from my CN club. To be honest: I'm your biggest fan, even a bigger fan than Wiggans, and have to play this game. You know..... I get my reputation from hating you and it is sooo funky. I'm really a star now - just because I hate you.
If all these guys would know.....
(some tears running)

Please forgive me Lance.
Can I have your autograph ?
Would you sign the RS jersey I wear hidden under my SKY-kit ?

I do think there is an immense amount of man-love closeted here among the haters. I believe that even LeMond, Floyd,Tyler, Betsy,Frankie and even Walsh harbor grand amounts of man-love for my prince Lance Armstrong.

Trust me, having had my own run in with the tossers that are RS you couldnt be further from the truth. Thats nothing compared with my wifes loathing of them. Shes only 5'3 (and a bit) but shes a feisty sod. If her and lance ever met it would not be pretty.

And ive yet to wear the sky shirt thats in the cupboard, and unlikely to. wearing team shirts at races is just not my thing. Im more the blend into the background type (beleive it or not)

So, she is an Ullrich fangirl ? Or what happened ?

I remember some German fangirls at the Tour who wanted to kick Lance of his bike when he passes. But in the end, they went on their knees when Lance passed and sucked his smell up. They were in such a trance that they nearly forgot Ullrich.
