I can't...believe...I watched...that entire...video.

I demand to have that 15 minutes of my life back.

If there was a point to be made, it escapes me.

My brain...has turned...to jello.

It must be "The Levi Effect."

Fukc...me...

I quit about 6 minutes in as I became certain that no point relevant to my life would be made.

I don't care so much about his justifications about PEDs.
I want to hear his justifications about wheel sucking. ;)
This! Was it so hard to attack or put his nose to the wind every now and then?
Oh and that Suisse win, shame on him and thanks for the joyful moments it brought to this forum :D

Did he say he wanted a better salary in any of that? Or just wanted to be etched in the roads of europe?

That was really bizarre. I about spit my coffee out, when he said that he decided to cross the line in 2001. Odessa must sit on the Sonoma Cty independent TED selection committee.

Did I miss this being mentioned? So he started doping in 98 and suddenly stopped in 07. Didn't he test positive in the early/mid 90's?

1996 at the U.S. National Criterium Championships.

Positive for ephedrine, and he got a 3 month suspension and lost the title

reading a speech is weak. My goodness that was boring.
I did however like the line at 12:30 "And even though
this didn't turn out how I'd thought, I still look back and see success."

Nobody is going to ask for the money back. :rolleyes:

And USA Cycling refuses to enforce a lifetime ban. Here's a hilarious denial on their facingbook page BY THE USAC facingbook admin.

as I mentioned before, USA Cycling does not open doping cases on riders or determine sanctions based on doping violations.

Which, is in clear conflict with both USOC code and USADA code.

Scott free!
