I highly recommend it.
Waiting for commentaries.

 

[D Avoid]

Read it yesterday. He has been vindicated by the revelations of the obvious nasty nature of Armstrong. He now needs to get over it and move on. We should of course be starting a fund for those people who have been ruined by LA, partially or totally. Is their a list of those wronged and how out of pocket they ended up?

It was interesting to read his viewpoint.
I hadn't known that his participation in the USADA report only happened in the last few weeks. I wonder if he was drafted in to bolster the 'witness tampering' aspect of the report once Lance decided not to go to arbitration.

simeone to me sounds like a p**** really. so what lance call you a liar? I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over that. sounds to me simeoni has other problems that won't be solved by just this.

also the funding of riders screwed by armstrong like bassons and simeoni should come out of lance's deep pockets. not ours. I hope everyone with literracy and a role in cycling during that era will sui lance for all he's got.

Clearly you understand nothing about intimidation and it's consequences. This is the way the omerta works.

Isn't he the perfect example of what would happen if and when someone spoke out and told the truth? And for this he's pathetic and "the peloton did well on him"? They spit on him and shunned him like a lepar.

It is called "Harassment" you can google it. There are many ways of it. People react in different ways depending on the situation and personalities. But it is still bad.

for once, if you don't get involved in such activities,it won't happen. if you do get involved, then be a man and accept all the responsability for your choice. nobody put a gun to your head, yourself, you went to michele and beg him for training advice. selling all the people who helped you is weak.

bassons,that's something i can respect.

simeoni,manzano not at all.

Simeoni faced a criminal conviction in Italy had he not told the truth about his doping relationship with Dr. Ferrari. He talked about that relationship and only that relationship, i.e. he never mentioned Lance.

Lance then, because of his identical and even more intimate relationship with Ferrari, went after Simeoni publicly, caused him to become a persona non grata within his profession and ultimately drove him into premature retirement, with all the economic consequences that this entails. The only thing Lance didn't do to maintain the omertà, Mafioso law of the peloton, was to have him fatto fuori ("taken out") by a hit man!

Look Filippo is no saint, though he has never claimed himself to be; however, Lance behaved in the worst way and only in measure can't be equated with those types of human detritus that are the bosses of the mafia clans.

To lose sight of this and to place the blame on the victimized, is to side with the darkest forces in our society, which on the larger scale generate those organized crime institutions that are a contributing reason to why we can't claim, as a species, to have yet reached a state of civility.

you are an idiot if you let yourself get intimidated by that and especially still feel that way after 8 years. what a joke

I'm not denieing that but I think there is as much guild in this by simeone as in armstrong and especially when you let yourself get herassed then stop looking for excuses. especially after so many years and he still hasn't gone through with his life

He was only harassed by the most powerful man in his chosen career and it had a big impact on him for years (vetoed from the Giro, remember?). No big deal. No sir.

 

[the asian]

He wasn't just called a liar, he was denied the opportunity of continuing his chosen profession at the highest level, by the mafia boss resulting in severe loss of income.

How can you live in peace after that?

no he continued to be pro until nearly 40 and only couldn't find a very big team because he had doped and talked. like some others, jaksche, manzano

Can you respect when one makes history by calling uci and saying 'deal with those, these and these guys'?

 

[Fidolix]

I'm afraid we have a couple of mentally disabled people among us, it is very worrying.

What is your.problem with kimmage then? He has always stuck by the same principles, but i remember you posting comments which contained words such as "**** " "hope" and "die" towards him
