Official Lance Armstrong Thread **READ POST #1 BEFORE POSTING**

<snipped>
The magazine go outside is promoving the event. In the main page they say:

The biggest champion of cycling history will come to Brazil in October and speaks exclusively to Go Outside of challenges, parenting and the visit to the country.

What do you think about this visit?

I thought:

Wow! Eddy Merckx is going to Brazil! But isn't he a bit old to be speaking exclusively about parenting?

 

[Polish]

Fabiani just got a lot more expensive. lol.

That isn't "old news" that is a "new lie." lol

Like everyone else reading this, you appear, like that washed-up hasbeen Armstrong, to have lost your game.

It is sad to see a former champion stay in the game when the game leaves him...sad...

I think at times like this, when you are feeling sad TFF, it is wise to remember the Arab proverb:

"Silence is the medication for sorrow"

Hope you feel better soon

 

[Berzin]

You need a new hobby, Polish.

We are now beginning to see the seriousness and extent of the corruption, and your comments are nothing but backwash to the main story.

Those Arabs need to discover heroin because heroin is much better.

Hope you regain your game soon. Don't wash-up like Mr. Armstrong. lol.

The proverb 'The dog barks but the caravan moves on' is so much more apposite for you at the moment. Would you like a biscuit?

Seriousness and Corruption oh my.

A hobby is an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation.
I like Bikes

During the SCA testimony, Lance said he paid hundred upon hundred of thousands of dollars to Coach F.
Maybe a million or more.
Old news. You know that.

Is that what he said?

Please post the page and line of that exchange. I don't believe it says that, so I guess I don't know that.

Can we ask Fabiani to send a different Troll from his Pit? Please.

it seems to me you've just taken a hook from another troll.

This is funny. Polish is jamming you guys by belittling his relationship with Ferrari as old news, and states something obviously false as proof.

I point out he is lying, and that LA played down his payment amounts to Ferrari in SCA and thus basically jamming him back, but then you call me a Fabiani troll. Are you on crack?

You guys are clowns. OK, why don't you point out the page and line of the SCA deposition that supports Polish and thus proves me a Fabiani troll? Take your time.

Even the famous GT placing predictor pyth-on is jumping onto the confused short bus lol. I sure hope pyth-on remembers what happened last time somebody lied about the SCA deposition.....he had a meltdown and took a little vacation lol.

 

[python]

we only need to page through today's verbally excessive whining of the said texas fanboy in the moderator thread ('us against the haters') to see the fraud through. i sure hope the said whiner about his numerous vacations remembers them.

actually it was reported in the french cycling mag "Velo" back in early 2000s that an american rider who was struggling had approached armstrong about how to get in touch with ferrari. armstrong told him that he could direct him how to get in touch with ferrari but that it would be pointless because armstrong now had an exclusive contract with ferrari. It was reported at the time that that exclusive contract cost $800,000.

no other cyclist was famous for coming back from cancer -- so no one else could afford such fees. a smart way to kill two birds with one stone. no competition enjoying the doping expertise of the italian hematologist, and fewer people to keep quiet about the greatest fraud in sports history.

side-note: notice how gotti and axel merckx's perfs dropped off substantially around that time -- both, previously, clients of ferrari. gotti was really never heard from afterwards other than the report that his parents RV was found to be stashed with drugs. a double giro winner to boot.

Bobby Julich? Is there any other potential GT contender that makes sense?

the article did not specify. but it was who i thought of at the time. however, i'm not sure, because i don't think julich and armstrong were ever really friends, so i wonder if julich woud ever have approached him about such a "sensitive" issue. then again, he might have been just that desperate...

As per Bobby J:

Perhaps not friends. But 'team mates'. You know how that goes based on history....

While we're dragging ex-team mates into this, what ever happend to Barry (Cdn) vociferously denying everything after Flandis implicated him in his venting?

Good point. I think Armstrong kept Julich off Motorola, Postal, and Discovery. There was that Tour Dupont or Tour de Trump where Julich was given kudos for being the top amateur with a potential stage racing future ahead of him. I don't think that Armstrong wanted to give another American a chance to take some of the limelight. Or maybe it was personal. Horner probably fell into the same situation.

I need to stick to the topic too! By the way, what is the topic?

 

[MacRoadie]

No matter who has said what in here, or for what motivation, there still hasn't been any citation (page and line number) to support Polish's latest fabrication (that Armstrong testified under oath during his SCA depo that he "paid hundred upon hundred of thousands of dollars to Coach F.
Maybe a million or more").

And yes, Polish, you are still on ignore, but people will insist on quoting you...for God knows what reason...

Yes, old news. 2005, on the record. Lance paid big Bucks.
Hundreds and Hundreds of Thousands of USD.
Maybe a Million or more paid to the good doctor.
BTW, I assumed you knew this. Sorry.
I should not assume.
Made an *** out of u and me

But anyway, as you know, Dr Ferrari is World Class.
Knows his stuff. Very high fees for some.
Bags of Cash, Check, or Charge.
Does not matter the method of payment.
All are legal.

That said, the article in the prestigious and reputable Corriere did not mention the time frame of payments from Lance to the Ferrari Family.

We can only assume Lance continued to make payments after the 2005 SCA win.

The Corrieremust have new news.
Can not imagine they would rehash SSDD.
