Leopard/Trek/Lance Mates Club Conspiracy

[Christian]

To be honest, your entire post basically says this:

"Look everyone, I've linked this to Armstrong, without no actual facts or sense. But it makes Armstrong evil and manipulative, so please love me. The UCI, and better still, the ASO are involved. Please accept me. I'm not a fanboy. Please, view me as someone in the know."

Look. Most people think Armstrong doped. If there is any UCI conspiracy (which I doubt), then it will be low level and not very sophisticated.

Basically, your post is trying to get in with the 'in-crowd' by way of your hatred of LA and the UCI. You can hate as much as anyone else, can't you - so you should be seen as a good poster.

Really, it's better to not care about being popular and view all evidence on it's own merits.


(PS My position: Armstrong doped. But I don't see how he's any worse than many of his contempories).

You clearly misunderstood my theory. The evil genius behind this elaborate scheme is not Lance but Trek, who are blackmailing Lance with evidence from the USPS years!

Good comment Jae2460 !

Jack Bobridge just won the Australian Champs, seen talking to Lance in previous TDU and been the subject of a Lance tweet !

Conspiracy here too? Could it be Lance waved his wand in Hawaii and voila the others had an off day !

Wonder if his riding for Vaughters will exempt him from your humour ?

Still looking for a contributor to send me an email, with a few of YOUR rules, unlike others i am NOT seeking your approval but do enjoy the photos ( some posted on http://parrabuddy.blogspot.com/) and entertainment that your posts offer!

Do let us ALL know which threads are for real as like Jae i don't have the time to read 40+ pages before choosing to comment !

Well Bobridge has a huge head so is assumed to have doped plus JV his Team Manager and the Maltese, Millar (mentor), are admitted dopers.

You are obviously new to cycling as most of the rules are unwritten!!

Only fan boys or 99ers call hwmnbn "lance".

Bad luck on having a doper as your champ!

No Schlarmstrong conspiracy, huh?

Then how come if you rearrange the letters in "Leopard" you get "LA Doper"?

Hah! Answer THAT, fanboys!

If you actually want to make a contribution to the forum can you please stop using it to promote your own blogs?

True, the rambling, nonsensical posts are enough. That they also are spam for a blog filled with more rambling nonsensical writing makes it worse.

LA and his canny ability to bull**** people, got somehow involved with the Schleck brothers when the LeOpard team was in the works, -so he get the company to pour money on their team, as a way to redeem himself for all the damage done by the Lemond affair. you got to remember that Specialized was literally "killing" Trek on all aspects and having the young cool brothers & the best TT'er switching equipment to favor Trek is a hell of a good deal in the long term. I agree with you that LA's interest with Trek will fade, but they also want to squeeze the last drop of that money cow before justice is upon him.

Between the pronunciation of this team at their circus-themed presentation show, and now their insistence on emphasizing the written O in LeOpard, I keep reading their name as "Team Leotard," which doesn't abbreviate particularly well.

does anybody think that maybe Andy and his bro Franck look like uniballer's Mother???? and he's hoping for a get together....

Nope. Andy looks like Prince William, Klemme looks like Prince Harry, and Linus looks like Hilary Swank. Oedipus Tex just thinks it's a celeb party that he needs to crash in order to keep up his Hollywood cred. Fabian does kind of resemble Jerry Seinfeld's two-faced girlfriend though, so maybe Wonderboy is trying to hit that.

Not even Brian Nygaard himself knows precisely where the f*ck the name came from, so I guess it allows the name to be mocked in certain ways

Another CN contributor posted the Tweet (but I didn't see it on this thread):

Rearranging yields: EPO Lard

Read that you ONLY have 7 threads going at present on Lance !
Is there a time you had more?
No wonder there are some of you in excess of 7000 posts, by my reckoning that is about 15 each day from joining.!
Awesome effort when you consider the person must take time out for eating and sleeping.
Of the 7k i wonder how many were for Lance?
Oh that was stupid wasn't it, you don't spend time looking for the good in him in this forum !

STILL awaiting the diff between Snr, member & lowly me the Jnr, Do tell

Hi Skippy, welcome to the CNF. My answers to your questions are below.

 

[AngusW]

Read that you ONLY have 7 threads going at present on Lance !

Cobblestoned suggested that there were about 688 Lance-threads, 99% of which she suggested were purely conspiracy theories.

Hrotha pointed out that this must mean about 7 of them were packed full of legitimate content about LA.

 

[AngusW]

Is there a time you had more?

More than 688? Not sure - maybe if multiple Lance Armstrong threads have been closed by the mods. A few months ago, DIM (TeamSkyFans) started an offical Lance Armstrong thread for all things LA. It got over 6000 replies by the end of July, then slowly disappeared. Not sure if it still open.

15 posts a day is not that much if you are following a cycling race and posting comments on predictions, the race itself as it unfolds and post race reaction. Times that by 21 for each Grand Tour, etc. Also there are plenty of threads here that are not about LA. You just have to look for them.

 

[AngusW]

If you're really curious about this, check out the posts for those with more than 7000 posts and see which threads they posted on.

 

[AngusW]

This is an internet forum; if you have a story about the good he has done you or anyone else, feel free to share it with us.

Well, you lose the junior tag at 40 posts. Don't know about Senior, maybe at 100?

Well, there's 7 posts there in 10 minutes. Now I'd better go and eat and sleep.

Yes, please. You may have just set the record for consecutive posts while providing much needed sustenance to a troll.

Don't be too quick to label skippy a troll. I'm looking forward to hearing his stories about how much good Lance Armstrong does in the world.

Fair enough. I'm sure he has as many fond memories as I do.

Sorry if my previous post came across as callous. I wasn't laughing at what you've gone through with your former employer, rather I was laughing at the sarcasm in your post - it did actually make me laugh out loud. So chapeau for that comment.
