Landis letter re drug use in cycling

[eleven]

Go Lakers

Now you're really just trying to **** me off

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

True eleven. But if an investigation is started, and people start talking to save their skin - like they usually do - that's when the house of cards will come down.

 

[buckwheat]

So, LA retiring from the ToC should bring the focus squarely on DZ, LL, GH. Someone should ask them serious questions. Why not ask Levi directly about 1996 to start with?

DZ mumbling,

LL whining,

GH not saying much of anything.

Everything they get is deserved btw.

I have to agree here. I doubt we'll see Armstrong near a race again. The French press will tear him to pieces if he comes there, not to mention what Contador will do to him.

Maybe it is time for him to give the "honest" interview and talk about how he was oversighted in his wanting to win again and it's over...he has been talking all week at TOC how is is outta shape...having trouble ect ect...my guess is he will bow out and try to spn it in another victim way...of a guy coming to real self realization via age ect ect ect...versus and the media will eat it the **** up...

 

[frizzlefry]

You f-ucking DIVOT.

Nice.

 

[BroDeal]

Where is the evidence of possession of a controlled substance in the US?

Distribution?

Conspiracy?

Racketeering?

Methinks you are just tossing charges against the wall of public opinion in the hopes that one sticks.

Bribery of foreign officials is illegal. Daimler just paid the DOJ $185M to resolve a bribery case.

 

[Red Lobster]

poll says only 14% respect Flandis more after admitting use and naming others, 86% have less. That's going to be the public opinion around the US I believe.

Asking that question of someone who does not understand the doping culture of pro cycling is pointless.

 

[eleven]

Density of granite.

Their sponsor was the federal govt. They will want to know what happened.

What in the wide world of sports are you talking about? Their team was never sponsored by federal dollars.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

No. Again, the USPS receives no federal funding. They are NOT the federal government.

 

[frizzlefry]

Are you really this gullible?

Gullible of what? All cyclists dope, but do you see me blasting a cheat and then playing his fiddle cause it fits the agenda? No!

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

I might as well start his angle. The only way out of this for Lance is the same way out for Floyd, Kohl, Zulle, Manzano, Papp, etc.

Lance needs to finally confess.

 

[Cobblestones]

No, calling him a liar, and then believing every word he says when it suits the agenda.

I give up.

If it comforts you, I won't change what I call you.

 

[red_flanders]

No, I think it's completely preposterous.

I don't have any opinion of the crash, it's pretty far fetched-to assume they'd do that.

I have never in my life seen a rider of Armstrong's importance to the overall for Levi pulled BEFORE x-rays came back though. Usually it's "we are going to see how he feels and see what the x-rays show and try and continue"...

He's off to continue his PR defense and examine his legal exposure at this point. He has no choice. If you think he's quitting because he's hurt, you probably believe every other lie he's told.

Actually, their sponsor was USPS...not feds...there is a difference....the very idea that Postal Inspectors will look into this is ridiculous at best (and this is who it will fall on)...I work for USPS...there is no way...they love the image of strongarm like every other corporate brothel he has taken money from...

Not going to happen.

 

[Animal]

Nice.

Cry me a river, frilly knickers.

Well, you'd need some evidence of bribery of foreign officials in order to charge someone with bribing foreign officials.

Are you thinking that McQuaid qualifies as a foreign official under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?

 

[red_flanders]

Hopefully, Lance's next ride will be in the back of a police car on the way to prison.

That seems a bit much. I hope he's gone from the sport for good, and those who have been hurt by his lies are compensated somewhat.

whilst that is true i doubt the ego will let him

He doesn't have the option to decide to continue after the X-rays come back.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Not going to happen.

I know, I was poking fun. Maybe on his deathbed.

Nice to see you back Animal.

 

[frizzlefry]

Cry me a river, frilly knickers.

LMAO,

Keep playing that fiddle then.

Well, do you think possession and distribution of controlled substances, if proven, is an offense that deserves jail? Because that's what our legal system currently thinks.

 

[euanli]

I can't believe what I've just heard on Newstalk.ie.

McQuaid dropping the Armstrong denier phrases - "most tested athlete" and "never tested positive"
