Official lance armstrong thread, part 2 (from september 2012)

[red_flanders]

Threads merged. The only reason this got merged is because someone suggested it in a report.

In the future, if you think a thread should be merged, just report the request (as one poster did) and refrain from the pointless, inane arguments and personal attacks...about whether a thread should be merged. This will be a warning, don't be shocked to find yourself banned next time without further warning. It's not acceptable here.

Thanks.

Doubtful. "Sonny" died 25 June 2012.

They should have crucified the Cancer Jesus in effigy. Then burned him.

South park is brilliant tonight. They knew their stuff pretty well....obvious bracelet and fraud stuff. But the Nike "what am I on?" commercial, "Cancer Jesus," "awareness," calling a critic a drunk liar. Of course now its mostly about Dr. suess....

Looking forward to seeing it - have loved their previous religious episodes; Scientology, Mormonism were a couple of favourites.

I like this thread Thanks for the laughs!

 

[Dear Wiggo]

There was a sub-forum, "The Clinic"
Where posters are labeled as cynic
There's theories galore
And I'll tell you what's more
There's a thread where you can post up your limerick (pronounced lim'rick for rhythmic purposes)

 

[Dear Wiggo]

There was a young fella called Lance
Who up on the pedals would dance
But the fact of the matter
Is the bike didn't matter
'Twas the drugs, not the training that enhanced

 

[palmerq]

There once was a rider called ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Who ▀▀▀▀▀▀ with ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ on ▀▀▀▀▀▀
When ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ went to ▀▀▀▀▀▀
He ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀'d his ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
And the ▀▀▀ turned a blind eye as usual

this is very funny... but i'm moving it all to the big lance thread... sorry gais... 2 many lance threads just now

 

[Dear Wiggo]

There was a young doc named Michele
Yes the one you have seen on the telly
He's scrawny and bony
And learnt from Conconi
How to turn eeyore into woah, nelly!

[Dear Wiggo]

"Doping law" professor Antonio Rigozzi from the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland and Swiss sports lawyer Alexis Schoeb.

Doping experts.

Why is it that when I see "doping experts", I picture people doping, expertly.

huh.

Interesting take on the case - ChrisE should be all over this.

Here is what I just wrote on another forum:

1) Armstrong did not fight SOL
2) Judge Sparks approved SOL
3) UCI did not appeal SOL
4) Ferrari and del Moral did not fight SOL

I wonder why? What was that pesky word? Ah thats right “Conspiracy”.

And “abuse of due process”

1) Judge Sparks approved the due process
2) UCI did not appeal dues process
3) Ferrari and del Moral did not fight due process
4) Bruyneel is following the due process

Ever wondered why Sparks didn’t throw USADA out of court? In fact he literally threw Armstrong out of court, not once but twice. And why didn’t UCI appeal to CAS when they categorically accused USADA of not following due process in Pats drunken rambling letters to Sparks. Remember those? Worth a read if you want a chuckle.

Swiss Law?
1) These are the guys that found Contador guilty of an action that was not even part of the accusation, and that even his own lawyers or the Spanish Fed had never once dreamed up as a defence. And then imposed a 6 month ban when the penalty is two years.
2) These are the guys who just found Landis guilty of defamation, despite him not appearing in court because he had not been served
3) These are the guys who have not thrown out the pending defamation action against Kimmage despite it being obvious to blind freddy the charges are completely bogus

Each national ADA has its own code which is subservient to national Law. What would a Swiss or a Frog know or understand about the USADA code, and US law to which it abides? Its hilarious that the article makes no mention of US sports lawyers opinion.

Now, what was that pesky work again? Ahh thats right…”conspiracy”

This unsourced article is complete and utter rubbish. Again.

Well, any links available of the recording yet? m'ok

 

[Jethro_A]

It's up at http://www.southparkstudios.com/ for free. I just started watching it. iTunes has the current season so probably available for purchase there tomorrow. Both are likely USA only though since content licensing internationally is such a mess, but that's a topic for another forum.

Lance's "Achievements" etched from the Livestrong annals

So I have a look at Lance's twitter page

There's a link to: http://www.livestrong.org

I go on it to see if there are any references to Lance's achievements (even those pre 1999)

Struggle to find any immediate reference except:

http://www.livestrong.org/Lances-Story

Reading it, Lance could be anyone, maybe that's all he is now? No acknowledgement of World Champs win or TDF stage win?

Talk about damage limitation, wow !

 

[Basecase]

Thanks - both links are geo-restricted though in my location

Not true. Only his cycling past has been erased. Which makes him even more of a Cancer Jesus now.

Status now similar to L. Ron Hubbard.

Only his cycling past has been erased. With major efforts to make him even more of a Cancer Jesus now.

Status now similar to L. Ron Hubbard.
