Fabulous interview!
Loved this part in particular, and haven't seen it getting any mention on this forum before:
"VN: There was an interesting statement recently by Armstrong’s PR manager Mark Fabiani…
BA: Yes, it was in the LA Times, I have it here. In their original story, he is quoted as saying [reads] “Lance is required to undergo an active steroid and EPO regimen as part of his post-operative treatment, which may give a reasonable explanation for their having been some discussion of EPO or steroids during her visit to the hospital, having nothing to do with any suggestion of use before he was a cancer patient.”
So, I have a few questions regarding this. Fabiani is stating that I misunderstood the doctors and the discussions that took place. In saying discussions did take place, is he then admitting that Lance lied under oath at the SCA case, when Lance said no doctors were ever present, no such discussions ever took place?
Because this is a complete and clear contradiction…
VN: So, let’s get your point straight: Lance has said that there was no discussion, any mention of performance-enhancing drugs, but Fabiani is saying is that several substances were mentioned, but mentioned as part of a treatment therapy?
BA: Exactly. But what is interesting is that this has now been pulled out of the LA Times’ original article. But it has already been picked up by other publications, so how are they going to squirm out of this one?"
Absolutely, positively love Betsy to bits. Her remark that they didn't lawyer up before speaking to Novitzky, "We didn't demand he contact our attorney for a reason: we have nothing to hide. The truth is rather simple; it's the consequence of not telling the truth that might bite you in the a**."
Oh, the times they are a-changing, indeed!
