Mr. Armstrong took the wheel of the Suburban and roared off through the streets. Stop signs didn't rate more than a tap of the brake, Mr. Landis said. Some traffic signals were wholly ignored and speed limits went unheeded. In the middle of the trip, Mr. Landis said, another rider asked, jokingly, "Are there no cops in this town?"
The journey ended at the Yellow Rose, a strip club on the north side of town. Don King, the club's general manager, said Mr. Armstrong and other cyclists on his teams have been coming to the club for about a decade. The riders were ushered into a booth. They ordered drinks and mingled with the dancers.
Later that night, some of the cyclists drove downtown to the offices of the agency that represents Mr. Armstrong. There, the party accelerated, according to Mr. Landis. Four strippers arrived at the offices with two bouncers and began performing a private show for the cyclists and others, he said. Mr. Landis and another young rider who attended, Walker Ferguson, said some people were snorting what appeared to be cocaine.

Poursuivant said:Wow, can't believe I have never read that. Thanks for the link. Interesting that Trek didn't know that they were selling the bikes and wouldn't deny if they had spoke to the feds.
Polish said:Just as I suspected, The Livestrong Organization WAS ahead of the curve in regards to the critical drug shortage crisis!
Here is a call to action from almost a month ago.

MacRoadie said:Well,
I can certainly appreciate your confusion as I'm not sure anyone on here has ever voiced any problem with the Yellow Rose or any "establishment" like it. The Wall Street Journal passes no judgement on it either, but simply reports on Floyd's narrative regarding an evening spent there, so I am curious as to why you chose to quote my link...
Inferences with no factual or empirical basis can certainly confuse.

Yeah, I would join you next year. We could do an awesome LA-Party-revival-trip, but we somehow have to manage to gain access to that office later to keep the revival authentic. We'll just ask Lance. No problem IMO.
To keep it authentic we might also add an overwhelmed Mennonite playing Floyd's part. "wow, boobs, omg. god forgive me. are we doing the right thing?"
We might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top...
You gotta make it happen!

Benotti69 said:well after having survived cancer Armstrong said he would never put anything in his body again that was not 'pure', it is interesting to read about him and the allegations about the team smoking blow and taking cocaine![]()
TomasC said:No problem in "pure" cocaine.![]()
Probably while he was out with Fignon, Lemond and Boonen, guys who have been know to do a key bump in the name of a good time. I wonder why Greg never got down on Laurent after he wrote about all his party days back in the day. I think Landis said that Lance had a huff habit as he was out going to gogo bars and running red lights.Benotti69 said:are you suggesting Saint Lance would take illegal substances?![]()
