Howman and WonderBoy

Howman didn't mention Armstrong at all in the interview as published by Benson

Maybe, but this article from may 28 2011 provides plenty of background.

World Anti-Doping Agency director-general David Howman has told Cyclingnews that his agency, along with the help of Interpol, helped facilitate meetings between the FDA and several parties across the globe in the investigation understood to involve Lance Armstrong and his former US Postal team.

Howman confirmed that Jeff Novitzky and investigators from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first made contact with WADA last summer, and that although he has not met with the US agency, there has been a level of collaboration.

Those meetings included the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD, police forces from both Italy and France, and according to Howman, parties from Switzerland and Spain.

Hog's right. All just a wasted witch hunt.

How about a turkey shoot then?

Any Tuesday in particular? Or just some Tuesday in the vague future....

Susan

The future cannot be vague. That's poor English. You could be vague about the future but not a vague future.

I'd say this Tuesday is a good one..... next week will be interesting.

Anyone up for a bet?

I think the word you are looking for is Dreckly ;)

(a cornish word meaning at an unspecified time in the future.. could be a day, could be a year..)

or as the cornish say, similar to the Spanish Manana - an indefinite time in the future - but not so urgent

I am going to gamble you have more information than I do, so I am good for the bet. Not enough time has passed, especially with international probing. If I am wrong, I will send you a free copy of one of my books. What are you offering?

Be more specific, and I am willing to bet...but to offer a bet on whether or not "next week will be interesting" is pretty nebulous...because if you are inquisitive, every day is interesting. So that is an almost impossible bet to lose under the criteria you have set. So if you want to be more specific, I am willing to take the Pepsi challenge. What exactly is your prediction, and what is your consideration for the wager?

No, I'm not that old. I can still remember Wimpy quite clearly.

Susan

well I have no idea what you are talking about. Must be before my time :rolleyes:
 
Or it's just an American thing.

ETA: The Popeye cartoons I watched were obviously reruns of reruns. I did a bit of research and had no idea how old they were. The Wimpy line was first used in 1934, and even I am not quite *that* old.

Don't post much here these days but it's evident that the Hog is still making spurious claims.
I want Lance to go down as much as anyone, but making stuff up doesn't help our case.

As lean and long limbed as Olive Oyle was, I'll bet she could have been a world class cyclist.

And this has ever been an issue in the clinic? As far as I know not too many claims in the clinic get subjected to factcheck.org LOL
