Leopard/Trek/Lance Mates Club Conspiracy

[skippy]

How do you guys find time to sleep?

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

 

[BroDeal]

well one assumes his accomadation etc was paid for by the host..

And recently it was Jayco paying for his Australian vacation. It makes me wonder how often teams and sponsors fly this guy around and put him up in nice hotels. It looks like a massive ethical problem.

The Junior Member designation is reserved for those who do not seem to be very bright.

At the end of disussion of course there will come out that bad Lord Lance paid and is secret team owner.
With the money he stole from people suffering from cancer.
Also, while paying, Lance was doped, was insulting Floyd, Greg and Simeoni, and was twittering to the LeMond-kids.

Like always, Rrrrrrradio has had all this information for a long time and will admit it afterwards.

brilliant bludy brilliant

One of the 7 stages of grief is anger....don't worry Cobble, it will all be over soon.

I would not put too much in a Lance/Trek conspiracy. The truth is their relationship is strained to say the least. Trek, like most, are trying to figure out how they unstick themselves from the liability that is Armstrong.

True and to add the Lance/Trek/LeMond hisory. After that saga, there is no way I would ever buy a Trek. Just imagine Leopard fronting to the first race and there is all this mud sticking to the bike tyres like glue!

Proud Hater cheers

 

[BroDeal]

Have the Armstrong homers been called into action in prepration for the SI article or have all the Armstrong idolzing fatties turned their attention to excercise now that it's the first of the year?

 

[Race Radio]

Wonderboy is freaking out. He is trying to keep the cat in the bag and it is not working.

The level of threat's and intimidation are at a all time high. It may seem like the right strategic move now, but it will just make him look like more of a sociopath when the book comes out.

True so all this Leopard-Trek plan must go back much longer than anyone ever imagined ... I think it might have been already born at the end of the Tour de France 2009, when we repeatedly saw Andy and Lance talking in hushed voices.

Back then we all thought he was trying to recruit Andy for RadioShack, but in reality their plans went much further. Think about it: Pat is on Lance's salary list and Prudhomme loves the Schlecks. Together Lance and Andy united the ASO and UCI. Andy got the ASO to taylor-suit him a route and Lance got the UCI to accept a dodgy team with no sponsor, and bring down Contador and Landis along the way.

I just wonder what Trek's role is in all this. Does Armstrong own a considerable amount of shares? Do they blackmail him with proof from the USPS years? The latter seems more likely to me. That was the whole reason Armstrong came out of retirement - Trek blackmailed him, and if he didn't win the TdF then they'd release the evidence. Once Lance realized he couldn't do it anymore (end of 2009 TdF), he needed to find someone who was desperate enough to win the TdF that he would even ride on Trek .... Andy.

This also makes Lance a prime suspect for the Chaingate incident. No one would believe that Andy would deliberately ride Trek, so something really bad had to happen with his Specialized to make it seem more plausible. I doubt Andy knew about this. No one thought he had a real shot of winning, but then when it actually looked like he could pull it off, he was foolish enough to believe that Lance and Trek would let him do so on a Specialized.



I have also seen "Team Def Leppard" as a suggestion on a different site. Maybe we could collect around 5 to 10 suggestions and then have an official poll on it, so there will be no confusion?

Lolz so why did they let AC win on a specialized? Shouldn't they have put tacks on the road during the final TT right in front of him to ensure that Menchov would win?

I'm still working on that one

Maybe the Clentator case was supposed to convey the image Specialized riders = dopers

I thought Bettini did that just fine.

Threat level orange?

What's the latest on the SI article? Next week, or the week after? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their legal department.

 

[luckyboy]

SI article? Book? What's goin on? I've not been here much lately.

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).

As a Lux fanboy, I very much doubt Christian is being serious

I thought the following had already been established

To coin a phrase: Just relax

Fair comment.

It's just that this forum tends to be a battle to see who can hate Armstrong the most, rather than any serious conversation.

I win then.
I hate him the most!

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.

Hating Lance is a serious issue for some people! I love coming here to soak up all the Lance hatred.

#4 I disagree with. Contador was managed by his brother Fran who is an accountant. I will bet Berts bro was blackmarketing Als' doping program and also forgot greasing the wheels.
Fran was being a little smartie pants and I think Bert is too. Smart but not that smart. Did not have wife to protect food from contamination.

#6 Kudos to TREK for sponsoring Team LeApold. Sweet deal for everyone involved.

#7 Always respect your DOGGfather.

I love Team LeOpard. What an epic team. It is not about the handsomeness of their riders or their jerseys but the handsome riding of their team.

I wonder what Cancellara is doing on team Frandyshleck he must know that his ambitions will be subordinate to the bro's.Cancellara for Lbl?He must me joking,he will be chasing breaks and fetching bottles if he does that race.
As for the jersey it is one of the worst ever.Rather than 60s retro,it looks like genuine 60s that has faded away after 2000 washes.

 

[Granville57]

Wow good point. Although Klöden and Levi might also retire. But Brajkovic would be nice. No idea where they'd fit him in though

Inside Fabian's downtube? Just imagine the combined wattage!

 

[fishtacos]

No Schlarmstrong conspiracy, huh?

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

Hah! Answer THAT, fanboys!

That is good. Great to see yet another conspiracy theory about Lance. There just weren't enough about his already and cycling is, after all, nothing without Lance Armstrong...for some people...like this forum...you people need lives!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, because you would never be caught dead posting in a forum such as this, is that it? Once again, I'll have to assume you didn't bother to read the opening page of this thread:
