Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

[Dazed and Confused]

There were a few coded BS statements in their. He took a pot shot at Hampsten.

T&R is what Armstrong wants and I hope Cookson doesn't deliver because this guy is not repentent, neither are most of them.

Who cares?

Other than Rasmussen, Hamilton, JJ and one or two others noone have provide serious information. If Armstrong can deliver the goods which will nail others let him speak out.

But he can only nail Hein and Pat. With the exception of Livingstone (and 1 or 2 others) all the others have come forward against him. Even big George ratted his BFF.

Will he nail Hein and Pat? Doubt it, cause that would probably drag Weisel and Stapleton into the bargain and he cant do that.

 

[DirtyWorks]

.. If Armstrong can deliver the goods which will nail others let him speak out.

Not going to happen. He's setting himself up nicely for a lap of glory with Cookson's B.S.

Now that Reedie is taking over at WADA Armstrong might see some redemption.

well lets see. I really have no problem with it going ahead. It will be easy to see if its valuable or not. Of course should Cookson turn into a groupie his job will be much tougher than McQ.

Agreed 100%. And Meija.

And tour winners of the 80s when he says there was advanced doping (meaning epo) then too.

This is a sh!t who literally cannot come to terms with the fact that there were a ton of riders more talented than him.

I love how the intro paragraph says that he has lost all credibility. And then they proceed to give a sociopathic serial liar a platform for his lies. Unreal. CN just dropped another ten notches in journalistic integrity. If that were possible.

The way things are shaping up it is conceivable he'll be able to weasel his way back in.

You can see why Lemond wanted him behind bars, he really is a live by the sword, die by the sword character.

I think the impending films swelling public opinion against him coupled with him getting sued by the US federal courts will be too much for him.

 

[python]

A vulgar, manipulating liar. Part 1 was a waste of time, can't wait for part 2.

i totally agree, but then again, why would you be waiting for a second serving of the crap...unless i missed your irony, which wouldn't be unusual given the interwebz communication limits

 

[ScienceIsCool]

That was a painful interview. Low octane, so you know, not really cheating for my entire career. It was low octane. Went to the Vuelta with a crap team, the whole team was crap, but *I* was motivated. Only went high octane because I wasn't winning despite my talent. Gah. And the stuff about Hein/Pat... They were only a product of their environment too. Let's not talk about the bribes and business deals and general thuggery/corruption. That's just, you know, business.

Oh yeah, and Greg was doped to the eyeballs, cuz no *way* could a guy win clean. High octane/low octane. Clearly had to be doped. I'm the most talented. Me. Me me me me me me me.

I need a shower.

[Dear Wiggo]

A very disappointing interview. Would be far easier for DB to do a story on the column CN gave Dr Michele Ferrari all those years, and the other complicit acts they as journalists still participate in.

In your mind, what would make it not disappointing? Keep in mind he will be deposed in 3 weeks.

 

[darwin553]

Wow, a lot of rude language in that interview, who talks like that ?! Anyway what does he mean with "He should have known before because high-octane existed in the late '80s and not just in cycling, in other endurance sports" ? Is he still trying to say that Lemond used EPO ? Naturally DB didn't call him on that comment...

Probably a condition of LA agreeing to talk to Daniel that there would be

 

[Dear Wiggo]

What would make it not disappointing? Not publishing it.

To be honest, I don't know why DB published it at all. What new content does it contain?

DB was clearly excited to get anything from the current pro cycling flavour of the decade, but he ended up with nothing worth (IMO) "printing".

Kinda like going on a semi-blind date and when you meet, she's unattractive and you don't get along at all. Not something you should really brag about. If a friend is going to tell me about a date I want to hear she was hot and they hit it off great and spent the night together.

Analogies can suck, but hopefully you get the drift.

 

[darwin553]

To be honest, I don't know why DB published it at all. What new content does it contain?

Come on now he was invited to Armstrong's 'temporary' residence in Austin for an interview with the great man. How could he not end up publishing it?

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Yes I realise it was an exclusive, but even so. Part 1 sucked.

I thought this was interesting too:

DB: Who you said you could drop on your grandmother’s bicycle… But something must have changed in terms of the doping program that you went through.

LA: I’m not going to get into that. This is not an interview with WADA or a TRC so I’m not getting into that. If that interview comes, I’ll be happy to talk about that or I’ll tell that story myself. It would be foolish of me to tell every detail in an online interview. I had a feeling you wanted detail like that but I’m not giving that.

Why the distinction?

Well said John.

I noted be got some jibes in on Hampston & LeMond.

Maybe a payback for LeMomd's "top 30" comment.

But yes right you are; me me me me.

 

[red_flanders]

Wiggo...did it suck or was it interesting?

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Wiggo...did it suck or was it interesting?

Yes. You got me. The meta data from the interview had one interesting thing. Why call a face to face interview an online interview? Is that because it ends up online? Not an Oprah interview where his ego gets face-time?

But it's a point of meta data that is interesting or curious, rather than content from the interview, which was yawn worthy.

Re-reading the intro, it looks like DB has LA on record admitting the things we already know: cancer shield, controlling the narrative, yadda yadda.

Nothing new to learn then.

But, EXCLUSIVE!!!!111eleven.

 

[Scott SoCal]

Lance the interviewee.

I know, just kiddin' ya. I thought it was interesting even if nothing new. Just listening to LA get his pantaloons in a wad is funny.

It all links together.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...armstrong-jeff-novitzky-floyd-landis/3449217/

Lance Armstrong's attorneys have revived an old suspicion – saying they believe government agent Jeff Novitzky and other legal opponents leaked sensitive information about their client to the media. They also are asking the federal government to cough up several documents related to its investigation into Armstrong, including any wiretaps or communications with the media.


The request by Armstrong's attorneys is the latest salvo in the brewing legal battle between the disgraced cyclist and the government. In a letter last week addressed to the U.S. Justice Department, Armstrong attorney Elliot Peters also accused former Armstrong teammate Floyd Landis and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency of leaking information about the Armstrong case.

 

[hfer07]

Low Octane in Oslo? really? Who is he trying to fool this time around-his children? Wasn't he already working with Ferrari back then?

That was pure rocket fuel.

frenchfry made a reference to a recent and notable doping story that did not involve cyclists.

Unfortunately, I think the reference was scrubbed due to the line of work the person is involved in.

However, it was hilarious yesterday when this individual's brother claimed that they were the subject of a 'witch hunt'.

Hilarious for anyone that has followed the Floyd follies and the Lance lunacy, that is.

All dopers sound the same, independent of what their occupation is. And, they all lie, and lie, and lie.

This was really pathetic, even for Armstrong.
