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

[Race Radio]

Hi Lance!

Heard you have been checking out the site more then usual lately. A word of advice, listen to Fabiani and don't engage any of us on twitter. It is one thing to complain to your Jazzersize teacher about me, quite another to complain in front of your groupies. Makes you look petty and only gets Digger more followers

 

[Race Radio]

I'm not Mr. Armstrong's greatest fan yet I clearly don't get the pleasure some posters do making pronouncements on the man when clearly all the facts are not on the table. I mean the investigation is taking it's own sweet time I don't see the point of making conjecture whether Lance will end up in jail, will end up broke, will end up in a mental asylum when it is clear the prosecutors aren't ready to put everything on the line as yet.

The short point is there is no use pretending you know sh*t about sh*t since in all likelihood the prosecutors are still trying to get their sh*t together.

Do you have a particular topic in mind or is this just another one of those "You Guys Suck!" rants?

 

[Boeing]

Could you remind us of what those points are again as it seems you are the only one here who knows what they are.

Although you are correct here, allow me to suggest this might be pot calling kettle black

carry on

Instead of insults perhaps you could explain what you mean?

No you're probably the worst offender. Are you sleeping with one of the prosecutors to procure all this 'inside info'?

Post, not poster.

Again, is there something specific that I have written that you disagree with or are you just upset people are discussing the case?

 

[Ulle Relaxes]

Oh discuss the case but is there anything of use being put forward? Any new information from a valid source? Or is it a just giant circlej*rk? No it's just the usual, 'Oh I'm hearing this and this', 'Lance is getting really worried', ad naseum. But like I said before you guys must find it fun.

This is not directed at you, but it would be one thing if people were simply discussing the case. Even today, though, there were comments to the effect that LA should get jail time for doping alone. When if those posters were actually reading the factual contributions to this thread they would know that it is not only an impossibility--but that it is ludicrous on the face of it. There are posters on this and other forums who routinely use the work "junky" when talking about epo and blood dosing. Which, among other things, is an insult to junkies. And fundamentally ignorant. And then there were all the jailhouse jokes.

So maybe if the level of discourse were kept up on the case you might find that many of those "disagreeing" with you are not "groupies," "apologists," or whatever, but that they have some real interest in the various facets of the case or cases and are able to maintain such interest without recourse to juvenile remarks.

Yeah, my Twitter feed is going nuts. If it's not about the Belgians, or the Serb, it's about the Texan. Juan Pelota (LA's evil twin) is having a right old strop, as we say here. Ever heard the phrase "dignified silence", Lance? No, I thought not.

 

[Race Radio]

If they show that Armstrong trafficked in drugs, laundered money, transported drugs, hired others to transport drugs, intimidated witnesses, impeded an investigation, etc. then he is in serious trouble. If he is stupid enough to fight this in court he will go to prison.

There is plenty in the public domain that shows Armstrong is facing multiple, serious, expensive, legal entanglements that will take years and millions of $$$. Coupled with a shrinking income this will result in a high likelihood of serious financial issues

There is plenty in the public domain to support that this could happen. You do not have to be a "hater", or sleeping with a prosecutor, to understand this......but it is much easier to toss out insults and bait then to discuss the actual topic

 

[Ulle Relaxes]

Exactly I hear a lot of 'ifs', 'buts', 'maybes' but no one knows what the outcome will be. Not even the prosecutors. Lance may very well go to jail but I'm not going to tug myself at night with those thoughts.

I mean what is your proof of this

I look at this thread and all I see is pointless conjecture.

So you read all 10,000 + posts before commenting?

"A conjecture is a proposition that is unproven but is thought to be true and has not been disproven."

So how can conjecture be pointless?

If it questions a myth?

So then we can presume a conviction might prompt you to "tug myself". You're surfing the wrong site for that level of satisfaction.

And we're back.

No one except Polish is arguing on those terms. You say post not poster and yet every other post you make insinuates the psychological make-up of those members who aren't busy backslapping with you.

Please what a get a 'out of jail' card. Provide proper links. Also provide a quote from Fabiani telling Lance to stop using twitter. Put up or shut up, Race Radio.

Also conjecture is a only proposition hence it can be useless.

I just got around to reading the twitter feed! My god Lance has been! He really has little to say when faced with truth...... good to see Broomwagon getting stuck.

I'm shocked to be honest. The man is officially losing it.

This is clear, as is that fact that he doped, and was caught, to win. Anyone denying these facts are logic stealing cleptomainiacs.

I too would like the investigators facts to be revealed, hopefully soon so that the truest level of understanding into the dark avenues that Lance and his mob walked to get them to this low point in life. As the facts unravel before us all I believe that the LA supporters will behave a lot like Paul and Phil as they watched Lance wilt in 2009 on that stage to Verbier.

Something like this... "Contador has attacked and only Andy S can respond. Lance will use his unparalleled experience and poise to control the attacks now. He has a poker face, looks just like 4 yrs ago and he is capable of so much. Look at how poor Frank S looks as he rides beside the big Texan. Oh, there goes Wiggins, oh now Nibali and Frank, wow where did that come from. Look at how Lance is playing a tactical and respectful race by not chasing Contador. Oh boy, there goes Carlos, and now Evans. Lance is not going well, at least Kloden is there to help. Yikes, Kloden is riding away from Lance, I guess its not tactical at all...he just cannot keep up."

As the 'facts' come out, the fans will fall, Lances mob will fold, separate and tell all to save their own skin. The excuses will change with each new dark revelation and the end story will be real and raw. No I don't know that for sure, but its starting to look a lot like Verbier.

Also can you actually prove Juan Pelota is Lance Armstrong?

My friends of the forum don't take the bait here. Please. Be strong. Ride it out.

Its an internet forum - indeed a cycling internet forum, what were you expecting when you decided to sign up and join? A full verdict?

Edit - spotted thehogs post, good advice.

 

[Ulle Relaxes]

If you've been reading what I've been saying that is my point entirely. Certain posters who claim 'insider knowledge' think they are above it all. Nobody knows what is going to happen.

This is going as my signature. I mean this sort of back slapping, circle j*rking behaviour is just what I'm talking about.

LOL - it's bed-time here in the UK anyway. Things are always quieter when I wake up. Except for that middle-of-the-night alarm to make sure my heart doesn't just ... stop, of course.

In the morning, the sun will shine, the birds will sing, and very little will have changed. Except it was fun seeing Sr. Pelota raise his head above the parapet. Like some petulant child.
