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

[Fausto's Schnauzer]

Hide the money is very difficult to play once you're under the Feds microscope.

What, you never saw Papillon?

Maybe we can send them all to Devil's Island.

I was agreeing with Coppi. Coppi said that Armstrong may face a liquidity problem upon indictment. I said that Armstrong's lawyers were probably advising Armstrong of just that fact.

If Armstrong gets charged, he's going to have to pay his lawyers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and he is not going to be able to earn as much due to the massive hit on his reputation. Armstrong is probably now considering selling off a bunch of his illiquid assets so that he will have the ready cash money to pay for what he needs to do should crunch time come. He surely can't bet that an indictment won't come. He has to prepare for the worst case scenario.

I have no idea what you mean when you say "specifically oppose by contrary proof." Your last post truly was complete nonsense, coupled with an insult, and wrapped up in an assertion that I was engaging in a "breach of the law." Furthermore, not one bit of it was about doping or even Lance Armstrong. I could have taken the time to explain to you how legal obligations flow from the attorney client relationship (to the client and to third parties), and I thought about doing it. But I know (from past experience) exactly how you'll respond: You'll insult my qualifications and my honesty. And the only person I would be writing for is you. Nobody else here cares one bit about the ethical responsibilities of US lawyers to third parties--and I sincerely doubt that you really care.

If you take the time to read what I write, you might note that I only differ from the extreme haters in two major ways: (1) I don't buy any of the talk about a "certain" or "imminent" indictment of Lance. It certainly may happen (and I would like to see it), but there's not enough evidence (for me) to say that it "will" happen; and (2) Floyd and Tyler and Joe and Chicken and Ricco (etc.) are every bit as loathsome to me as Lance (and believe you me, I think Floyd and Joe and Chicken are especially loathsome). I reserve no special place of hate for Lance (but it would be schadenfreude deluxe to see him leveled just as flat as Floyd and Tyler and Joe and Chicken and Ricco (etc.) are right now).

And if you want to discuss me or my qualifications, you probably should start a thread on that topic. You'll have it all to yourself!

"A little learning is a dangerous thing"

If you had any legal training you would have been fully aware what the word "mitigate" means.

I refer you to post #6240

You were in pro Lance mode and refuted my understanding of "locus standi". In that post to deflect from your inability to support your opposition you claimed you could not give an opinion (could only be legal) without viewing the contract. Also, in passing yourself off as a lawyer you claimed my post did not make sense (nonsense). Bells appear to be ringing.

No need to enter into further discussions about your "qualifications" here or elsewhere

Gosh. Your overpowering logic has triumphed! You win!

LOL. Your lack of understanding as to Erie and its meaning shows that you've either never been to law school or that you flunked out.

Your application of Erie to federal criminal law made no sense. But hey, if you want to win to . . . You win!

What is it about Armstrong that attracts posers? Hombre, a fake doctor, used to defend Armstrong on the Daily Peloton and Cycling Forums. MarkW, a fake lawyer, defends Armstrong here. Armstrong is a magnet for Walter Mittys.

Remember Jackhammer? The guy who rode "Cat 3 Equivalent"? Posted a picture of himself, 250 pounds in an Once Jersey with his belly hanging out.

Hombre the "surgeon" who was actually a Chiropractor. House, the Pro Tri Athlete. And Chris the Mod....who did not even own a bike.

Good old ChrisH. Used to be a swimmer. Didn't ride but got into watching cycling because of The Lance. Vaughn, in his infinite wisdom, decided he was just the sort of person that should be a moderator.

I didn't know House pretended to be a pro triathlete. I thought he was a coach at a girls school or something.

Somewhere there has to be place where all these guys are holed up awaiting doomsday, like Hitler in his bunker.

Chris the Mod was an ultra Fanboy as was to a lesser extent Hombre & House.

I am certain Chris' elevation was because of his LA homage avatar and the fact the original owner of that site was a Livestrong volunteer. Google was Chris' best friend when it came to cycling.

Make any statement against LA and you were sure to get a threatening PM from Chris warning of suspension.

To be fair to House he did not claim to be a Pro but he was always talking about how fast he was. I know he said he had run a 31 minute 10k. Of course when someone posted his picture and splits for a Tri he did and he was a tub of lard with ridiculously slow splits

I know right! What is it about the internet that prompts people to pretend they are something they are not at any level?

 

[Race Radio]

It is hard to see how Floyd is somehow worse the Tyler or others. Tyler raised millions as well. Unlike Floyd most of Tylers money came from the public, not rich groupies.

Floyd had the balls to take a stand. Nobody would had said a word if Floyd had not stood up first, nobody.

When this is all over Floyd will be looked at very positively.

There are those of us who think Floyd has a lot of integrity. Many think he is a bitter kook but in reality he seems to be making huge change happen and is not afraid to speak his mind. I sure hope he gets some sort of satisfaction and redemption....

And here I always thought that House and Hombre were one and the same. They had similar styles of attack, once things got heated.

I think the posers could be attracted by the huge wake of cash that Armstrong's winning machine leaves behind. It could be the records he set in what lots of people consider to be the hardest sporting event in the world. Maybe it's some of the personal stuff like parlaying his success on the bike into relationships with people and companies that no other bike racer ever had in history. Or it could be that posers are attracted to Armstrong because as he arrives at middle age he can still race in many disciplines, running ,mountain biking and tri at a high level while maintaining a full time job.
Could be that guys are drawn to him because he has excellent taste in women. Women posers may be attracted to him because he has widely available six packs both from his beer sponsor and on his gut that defies the gravity effecting other men that drink beer of his same age. Those could be the reasons.

 

[just some guy]

I was thinking about the title of this thread

Official "another interesting piece I found on Lance Armstrong" Thread

Not a lot of interesting for a long time.

The suspense .............. It is a bit like a day time soap nothing happens for ages ratings go down and the kill off a person ( I was going to say actor but that would be dumb).

When the Fed investigation is made public should be fun again what ever way it goes.

Maybe a new day time soap will be born.....

Deception ..............

The paradox is interesting....... I would add that from Tyler, Landis & Armstrong there is only one who has yet to fess up.

Yes, that is quite a paradox. Mind bending.

But anyway, my sources are telling me that Lance is waiting for Alberto to fess up.

What exactly is this full time job he has? You mean a forty hour week, right?

Why, looking for the "real killer" of course!





Oops, wrong dude.
