It gets even better than that.

Thanks for the article!

"Even the presence of the factory here is a big defense against the cheaters."


This whole project sounds really bad. Russian businessman brings ethics and transparency to mineral rich poor Africans by putting a processing factory close to the porous Ugandan border with war torn Congo. right....

Sherwen looks to be in a business were he has a lot of contacts. If Armstrong is looking for places to put shady money, Sherwen seems like the go to guy.

The athletes biological passport is a defense against the cheaters.

The patterns are striking.

Yep, the PR sounds similar.

Walsh in the Sunday Times goes to town on Liggett: http://freetexthost.com/g35tjktvau

Over the past few days, two of the staunchest Armstrong defenders have been the cycling commentator Phil Liggett and Rick Reilly, America's most celebrated sports columnist. Liggett's interview with a South Africa radio station was funny in ways the interviewee never intended. Why, he asked, was USADA investigating Armstrong? He posed this question more than once, as if it was the key to professional cycling's Da Vinci Code. Let us guess the answer: USADA investigated because it came across compelling evidence of a doping conspiracy and as an anti-doping agency it thought this was its job. See, not such a mystery after all. Liggett then suggested that those who had testified against Armstrong had been paid to do so. Did he mean paid by USADA, or the communists, or aliens?

nice link hog.

You can't be annoyed at Phil because first you would have to take him seriously. Reilly is a different kettle of smoked cod.

Now Reilly says he "supposes" Armstrong is guilty of doping but the lies of the past don't matter because of Armstrong's work on behalf of the cancer community. So, it is okay to rob a bank provided you give some of the proceeds to charity.

Once upon a time Rick Reilly wrote columns that had a lot of good jokes. Now he is the joke.

ouch

Celebrated by whom? There are hundreds of blogs, Facebook pages and twitter accounts dedicated to hating Rick Reilly, he's a total db.

A very sick very unwell old man.I am not convinced that the relevant authorities WILL turn a blind eye to that interview,this has been said earlier in the thread but i think those are very serious allegations he's making, my only worry would be that such a storm is brewing with so much bad news coming for the bad guys that his interview gets lost in the chaos.Which is why i have sent a letter to USADA with the wording of the interview.The scope of who our favourite sociopath had onside at his peak is frightening, there is almost something perversely admirable about how he built up such an influential network.Hope him and Phil rot in hell.

 

[perico]

LOL... people are getting a bit carried away with the whole "federal jurisdiction regarding Mr. Liggett" thing.

Look at how many people, including some in the media and others who have their own TV show, have claimed the US government was complicit in 9/11. Others claim that the US government was involved in the Kennedy shooting. As screwed up as the USA can be at times, the feds don't go prosecuting somebody with as little of national influence as Phil Liggett concerning an investigation involving bicycle racing and PEDs. Opinions are like a-holes, and Phil Liggett is entitled to his, as long as it isn't breaking any laws.

Would someone mind reposting the latest Outside Magazine article about Phil the Loon?

I belive that quote was lifted from here

[Deagol]

Phil is about to drink a glass of shut the hell up......this is going to be fun

Has this happened yet? I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about it. At this point, is Phil "getting away with it" ??

I aspire to write as well as the author does - my vocabulary needs work. Whilst I would not like to write as he does - our voices are markedly different, I appreciated this paragraph:

Gaffs have been legion. His Liggettisms, as they have come, at first affectionately then pejoratively, to be known, were even collected and published in book form. Yes, I know; another oxygen producing tree culled so that you or I can sit with an expression of mild amusement while excavating our bowels.

Does Liggett still have a job?

"I believe these ten witnesses, who have all admitted apparently to seeing Lance take drugs or selling drugs or passing them on, and they themselves taking drugs…the reason they are witnesses is that they have either been paid or they have been given a deal that they will never be touched as far as suspensions go."

We can all hope he's gone by next season, and we're spared ever hearing another word from the man.

Actually i would like to seem him cornered and it put to him he that lied to cycling fans all over the world for years.

 

[TheEnoculator]

I hope he leaves cycling before end of this year. This old fool is like Goebbels for LA.
