Cobblestones said:I LOL'd so hard. Landis is pretty funny. He would make a great poster here on this forum
Colm.Murphy said:I think teh proper term, in Intraweb parlance is "PWND".
Landis hands him his hat. Bravo Landis. Bravo.
What, what could possibly have made Hein send that first email? Wow.

JayZee said:It is funny how we can all read the same thing and view it so differently. I hardly see the exchange as a win for either individual. They both come across as childish.
I do think HV correctly called out Landis for his "victim" mentality in this statement of Landis: "I did see it and I do get satisfaction from seeing others made happy. My life could have been focused on that had you done your job (honestly) before I ever had the opportunity to wear a yellow jersey." Huh? Is he really blaming HV for his decision to dope his way to a TDF win? Both men need to grow up.
It sure is entertaining though.

ScienceIsCool said:You guys missed the fact that at the time of the email exchange (June 5th) a Grand Jury had already convened. A month and a half ago! Very interesting and it makes me wonder who has already given testimony. Why have we heard about the grand jury now as opposed to when it convened? Curious.

riobonito92 said:The yellow jersey is for making a nuisance of yourself. However, less well known is the green jersey in which points are awarded for making a fool of yourself in front of the press. Lim was the early leader, followed by MacQuaid, but this is expected to be hotly contested. Of course, all cycling fans will know that the jersey for the overall prize is actually a stripey number nicknamed the "prisoner". Current favourites include Bruyneel.
Barrus said:You think Bruyneel would go to the US if they want to indict him, no way. He'll stay nice and safe in Europe, where the big bad FDA-man can't touch him
