Dr. Maserati said:Actually I have no idea - but what controlled substances?
You are doing a lot of guessing and speculating. If you remember you made a comment that Bonds & Thomas received immunity - I asked from what and you went silent.
Would that not be a logical first place to see what happened with them as it probably will relate to Tyler?
I do hope Tyler is this central don figure - who can escape sanction from (well, we're not sure) by ratting out his friends and former team mates. How will Lance escape this predicament if the Feds are even going after the riders? Tune in tomorrow for The Days of Our Lance.
Like I said, my theory depends upon Tyler taking (PED) controlled substances. Any substance. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Tyler's not going to admit to it without a grant of immunity--and the feds would want to hear the whole story. On the other hand, if Tyler had no criminal secrets, then he might not have needed or received immunity.
I don't mean to cast Tyler as a Don figure (although I take that risk of being accused of that whenever I deviate from a strict fixation on Lance). Rather, I'm using Tyler to make the point that the feds had a lot of people who bought steroids and EPO before them and that they would not pass up the opportunity to take down PED rings (or help foreign countries do so). But of course you are free to recast my point in whatever form you choose.
U.S. v Tammy A. Thomas. 08-10450 (9th Cir.) Is a super-good discussion of her case.
Bonds is easy. Just google ["barry bonds" perjury immunity ] and you'll find tons of news stories.
