Landis letter re drug use in cycling

[Dr. Maserati]

I am disappointed that I am only in fifth place.

Just a few more posts to pass theswordsman...

Being honest I was almost embarrassed to see I topped the list (even though those first hours after news broke were incredible)

But then I read this ....

3rd place, *****es. Best recognize. The moose is loose.

... and the competitive juices kicked in.......

Moose ...........

you ..........

will ............

never ..............

catch ....................

me. ............

Sorry Doc, I couldn't resist

But really, it really is poor form to create such a load of double posts

 

[Cobblestones]

Uh, fifteen only. I'm feeling like a Euskaltel sprinter.

 

[Digger]

I really shouldn't waste my time trying to contest for overall on this one - just like a certain Sky rider.

Floyd's letter - amazing......first thought was that it wasn't authentic. But I really do think it doesn't get bigger for anti-doping.

 

[Parbar]

I thought I saw my name near the bottom of the list, but it was someone else.

This thread had it's "Sticky" removed today....
No posts since last June?
But still, it is the Biggest Thread Ever in the Clinic - 2720 posts.
(Below is a list of Who Posted...almost everyone?)

...

I had to put one in as well.

I can't believe I have read this thread so much and had not posted a single time.

Haven't really read this thread but...

Go Floyd Landis! We appreciate you. And from my perspective, the guy is a true champ.

 

[BroDeal]

Man fur. It's not just for pimps anymore.

That is pure loveliness...

Crap! Just blew my shut-out!

This "Floyd Letter Thread" is about to be overtaken by the "Interesting Lance Thread" for most posts in the Clinic....

Most popular thread in the "Clinic".

Most popular thread in the CN "Professional Road Racing" is the Lance thread too.
7000 posts. That record will stand.

This Floyd thread put up a noble fight though.
Go Floyd!

That suprised me. Thought Lance was EPO'd his entire reign.
So much for being "transformed" by EPO lol.

They were doing blood transfusions following the introduction of the EPO test. So, instead of taking EPO to increase their red cell blood count, they just inject more red blood cells into their body. There is more than one way to cheat and as much as you post, I believe you are intentionally being misleading.

Unless FL has INCONTROVERTIBLE proof NOT much is going to come of this.
LA, Bruyneel, USPostal 2004, UCI, Lelangue, Ochowicz etc. are simply going to deny it. And the reply will be a unanimous one "Landis allegations must be viewed with scepticism after he previously denied doping Landis’ sudden doping admission comes after the rider spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to prove his innocence, including the establishment of the Floyd Fairness Fund which encouraged people to donate to help with the estimated $500,000 legal bill."
If they all deny;his word against all these powerhouses will amount to very little.
At the very best he'll get a book deal. At the very worst he'll come across as a lost soul and or off his rocker, which is kinda sad.

I understand your point but I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Many weeks before the 60mins Show aired, Floyd was telegraphing that it would happen on his twitter account

Plenty of 60 minute jokes and the Tic ToC Tic punchline.
The tweets appeared well before the show was announced...

That said, what is the story behind Floyd's recent "Outside" tweets?
Is Outside Mag about to print something?

I just went to the Grey Manrod account to cut and paste some examples, but I am having problems seeing them now.

Anyway, to paraphrase, Floyd tweetily joked about tearing down a wall in his home so he could live "OUTSIDE". Another tweet mentioned that he was going "OUTSIDE" etc.

Whats up with "Outside"
Tic ToC Tic

Why don't you just ask Floyd directly?

You could send him a direct message on Twitter. Something like:

D greymanrod This is Polish from Cyclingnews forums, I was wondering what you knew about an upcoming 'Outside' article. I promise not to tell Lance

And you will still have six characters left over

Dave.

That is Floyd's way of telling you to go play Outside and spend less time trolling forums

I'm at work, but the front door is open so I'm almost OUTSIDE.
Rode into work today too. From the outside. Its a scorcher today.

Anyway, Floyd would NOT tell me to go play Outside.
He did tweet me once with an "@" message however.
Said he loves me btw. And no, my *** is not sore.

But maybe he has me blocked now?
He used to "follow" my little 3 tweet twitter acount
But now I can not see any GreyManrod tweets after 6/14.
Hope he has not blocked me
