Armstrong said that a rider can get from 39 to 48.5 by the use of a tent alone, something that is impossible.
Armstrong was also on Larry King Live discussing the respective characteristics of their ex-wives, then mentioning by chance, he goes to the Canaries to train at altitude and boost his crit by 6 points gross or so.
And he has talked to other journalists about the importance of the blood and blood parameters. Does not sound like a clean rider.
All of the unctuous responses which Armstrong repeats in soundbites, carefully scripted and rehearsed, if you analyse it, make him come off as a fricken idiout.
1. The "43 is a very compelling number" re: 2005.
2. "Well that is actually not right, I did take EPO, when I was being treated for cancer because it was part of the recovery". This Clayton's admission to make him come across as transparent and truthful, does nothing of the sort, when you assess Walsh's record, when he explicitly denied to Walsh he took EPO in his cancer treatment, back in 99. So, he lied on once occasion, and does not come across as more credible with such an unctuous admission.
3. Larry King, "train in the Canaries at altitude to boost the crit".
4. "altitude tents" etc
5. "the blood is very important".
Can anyone not read the falsity of his narrative and soundbites? Does one have to spell it out any clearer for you?
