Wait, you're talking about Papp as if he is a thing of the past? Is he banned, did I miss something?

He was a doper/dealer but is till a current former poster to the best of my knowledge which is from another continent to his.

Has a poster been sent in to the clinic to gather some info? Is it possible that teamliestrong are fishing for info with crap being spread by this poster trying to get hints about anything that might lead them to something.

Teamliestrong are pretty damn desperate, even offered Hamiton free legal assistance!

edit:

It would appear that the sockpuppets are trying push the talk all towards blaming UCI for the corruption.

Is that becuase it appears McQuaid got promoted in IOC so he now is untouchable by Armstrong so they want to pressure McQuaid via the clinic?

Yeah, I don't know what to make of it either. I've noticed that "LauraLyn" has adopted the 'superior information' tone of Race Radio, without providing any of the superior information that Race Radio provides. "LauraLyn" is also posting at an amazing rate, right off the bat.

I'm totally put off by the tone of "LauraLyn." That's why I've put that poster on ignore.


I did a search on LauraLyn and Livestrong and came up with this:

Sorry irongrl not you...
I am referring to the poster known as 'LauraLyn'
I don't believe it's a woman...

Just my opinion

would a members gender decide the validity of their posts?

'ignore my banal posts...........i am but a man'

is it a forum rule that gender must be stated / reflected in an appropiate user name?

Is that poster human?
Or a bot?

Super-extreme posting frequency...
Absence of humor or anger...
Responsiveness to absurd questions . . .

The name of this thread is " sockpuppet speculation"

Posting under a faux facade while trying to derail thread- reading is this game...

You are picking a non- relevant meaning for my post ebandit.


thirteen...yes exactly. "..a gal like me" ..and so on. ..:rolleyes:
@markvw may be a polish-bot

Still dont get how the mods are letting this one slip through:confused:

The mods are asleep at the switch. It has become apparent the original mods were the ones doing all the work.

I'd love to get a copy of that code if true :) Seriously he/she/its responses are pretty detailed - not what I would expect from a bot. Still I wonder...

Very clever if she's not and is doing this intentionally. Most threads are now unreadable which is really too bad. Immediately following the news there where a number of threads that were packed with useful information -- to the point that I started going other sites comment section and referring back. I can see how that would be seen as dangerous and hence the new tactic.

Just dropped into this thread for the first time today to chk for info because it was driving me crazy. Glad I'm not the only one wondering :)

Because of LauraLyn this board is now next to worthless. But it belongs to CN, they can do with it as they please. It's a shame but I guess they have their reasons.

Just discovered this thread (via "LL" search) as I had been intrigued also, and came to same conclusion as irongirl over the past few days. What got me was the use of dutch grammar in order of words in sentences (which make some posts hard to comprehend) and the in depth know how of the cancer research and PR fields. The triathlon, health, East Asia and Livestrong know how all add up.

Suggest to welcome the lady to the board. She is a serious contributor and can be a force majeure for the change cycling needs via Lance first then the crooked sports admins.

This person LL is not a cycling fan which should be a good enough reason to suspect them. But that so many are calling 'it' a bot and not real is time for action.

Well the lady sure posts a lot, and not all of it adds value to me. And i have also been more than confused on what she is getting at many times. But she seems to have her heart in the right place. If she is indeed the lady in the post she has one hell of a story. High achiever, high energy, passionate poster, lived a rich life, cancer survivor herself, Livestrong grant recipient, and I understand worked for them also. Seems to have a fair bit of know how. And now training for her first triathlon, at age around 50 I presume. I suspect "got to see the light recently" on LA and LAF. So for me deserves the benefit of the doubt until clearly proven otherwise.

I still think CN would do well to create an "insiders" thread for its VIPs. The cycling insiders community is unique and has very different contributions, know how AND needs from a forum than the average fan (like myself).
