NovitzkyÂ’s European vacation

[flicker]

My post rules are thus: add something intelligent; failing that, be amusing.

You're still my man, Flickie (or girl, I'm still not sure)...

Thank you for the views of the Lyon Interpol Hub. The architecture is stunning, I wish that I had the security clearance to visit. Did Novitzky get to visit the Pompidou museum and the Louvre while he was in Paris.

If I was in France and wanted to get to the center of Lances' doping I would sit in their and study that darn Rosetta stone. Then I would put a geiger counter on that gosh darn 6000 year old Baballonian Altar piece.
In that Pompedou museum all those Picassos definetly a commie its OK though cause he woulda loved Astana....

This caught my eye in regards to Spain:

In addition to the Italians and French, yesterday the Americans also met with representatives from Spain's Guardia Civil. The Spaniards are ready to send a strong signal after its largely unsuccessful Operación Puerto investigation. They are focused on two fronts for Novitzky: Armstrong's former apartment in Girona, where Landis alleged blood was stored in a refrigerator, and Tenerife, the island where Armstrong trained.

Truly a fine tooth comb. Nice to see the International cooperation that's aligning to combat the problem. Cautiously optimistic that perhaps justice will be served.

Greg was one of the people responsable for the big paychecks in euro cycling.

Phil Anderson said that Lemond & his father are responsible for his pay packet getting a lot fatter than it was.

Bob promoted his son. Greg was the keenest cyclist, he would have done it for free, and in my opinion Greg was the best I ever saw of any athlete, uh maybe Steve Young ,Roger Craig, Jerry Rice. Greg on par with any pro in any sport. Seeing him as a young junior was something to behold a great athlete in every respect. That young 15-16 years he was charging hard. Never saw anyone so keen to achieve at anything. Amazing. Bob promoted Greg and it raised the paychecks for everyone. Looking at the u- tubes in 91 you canstill see it.
Why Merckx couldn't raise the paychecks who knows?

And if the Spaniards would kick in little current history, like several months ago-we can start to wrap this sh*t up.

I would much rather listen to Lance but that is just me.

Maybe thats because with Greg you have to make the efort to activly LISTEN..and THINK.
With Lance you get scripted sound bite thats TELLING you.

Seems we live in very ignorrent (mostly through innocence) times and critical reasoning is becoming more scarce than ever.

I guess thats what happens to a society pushed towards appathetic observer rather than active partisipant.

Make sure you check the medicine cabinet in his old apartment. That's where he keeps the Nandralone.

Seriously guys, do you really think he'd move without cleaning-out the apartment first?

Yes, they really think that Lance is stupid.

Not only that he is (a)

Trafficking - I think we all knew this was where things were headed.

International Trafficking...this is going to hurt big time, LA should sell off all he is and go in hiding in the jungle with his cash.

Yes there's dead bodies in the garden!

What they are looking at are postal records and tracked items sent to the address. The contents of Popo's computer helped with this also.

Correct. This is not about drug use in sport. It's about cutting the supply off at the dealers. Armstrong has a massive stash for he and his team.

Hog, please stop agreeing with other posts and give us some back-up for your claims about GH and TH...

Of course in a film about career criminals a wife of an inmate carries dope into a prison with sealed dope inside of her. She goes to use the toilet, removes said dope and flushes down the toilet. (at the visiting room, inside the prison.)
Down the sewer line an inmate removes a trap in the sewer line and removes the dope. Then the dope is systematicly distributed through the prison.

For the investegators to visit Lances old haunts Floyd must have let them in on some secret hiding spot.

Secretive talks suggest progress in doping probe
By JOHN LEICESTER and ANDREW DAMPF, AP Sports Writers John Leicester And Andrew Dampf, Ap Sports Writers – Fri Nov 19, 3:53 pm ET

PARIS – A U.S. federal probe into doping in cycling, including whether Lance Armstrong cheated, appears to have made significant headway and is getting closer to its end, say officials who attended or were briefed on meetings between European and American agents this week at Interpol headquarters.

I wonder if they insured their dope shipments like Kloden insured his vitamin shipments.

This is an interesting angle to take because it allows prosecutors in other countries to share in the glory. While a lot of PED trafficking is bros helping out bros, if Armstrong was using a more organized network then he could become a minor part in a much larger whole that attracts the attention of other countries' law enforcement agencies. The investigation could gain a lot of momentum from such an angle.

At what point did the Italians take stopping fraud seriously and the Spanish decide not to?

I'm thinking that Matt Damon will be much better in the role of a drug trafficer than a pro cyclist.

ahaha... We need a thread for casting of the movie.

I'm wondering who would play the Chicken.
