Well just about a year and a half ago she was stalking Tyler.

She's Lance's personal assistant for Oakley. I kid you not. Travels with him still.

Absolute sell out.

 

[DavePat]

I would think that she has a tad bit of legal exposure now.

 

[Benotti69]

She lied under oath at the SCA trial so she should be sh!tting herself right now.

 

[Bosco10]

Is there a SOL for perjury?

She testified at the Grand Jury also.

She's going to have a tough time in the upcoming trials.

I'm not sure she's any more exposed legally than she was October 9. My guess is that it may depend on what she said when she was subpoenaed for the federal investigation. She sure better have told the truth. IIRC, her attorney indicated that her testimony was in favor of Armstrong but I think she was deposed for something like seven hours so we don't really know. I wouldn't be too shocked if she actually told the truth (for once) to the feds but thought it would be best to pretend otherwise. Lance and his minions certainly have a well-documented history of witness intimidation.

That's not to say she didn't perjure herself during the SCA trial. She most definitely did. I doubt she'd be charged with perjury unless Lance is as well. Despite all that we've come to know recently, I'm not so sure it'd be a winnable case unless somebody else comes forward and corroborates that Lance indicated his extensive use of PEDs in that hospital room. We all know he did but I don't see enough out there that substantiates that yet. Sad that it came down to Betsy vs. Stephanie and Betsy was made out to be a liar. This whole thing still makes me so sick. It's hard to have a backbone in this country when those without one always seem to come out ahead.

 

[el hipopotamo]

Just thought of something...didn't she leave Betsy a nasty voicemail along the lines of "I hope somebody breaks a baseball bat over your head...I hope you encounter some real serious problems in your life" and then blame it on having too much wine? It's been a long time since I heard that recording, hope I have it mostly right. Anyhow, if that's right, yes, bring on the perjury charges!

There is also either a recording, or at at least a transcript of the recording, of her threatening Betsy Andreu.

 

[Cloxxki]

I'm telling you, she bore Lance's child.
Only plausible explanation for lying for him under oath, either once or twice. Not even the ultra-loyal USPS domestiques, who have so much to thank him, did not lie for him when it came down to it.

That would be something.

 

[Robert21]

Yes she lied for the sake of Armstrong, Oakley and her job, but she has also revealed that her son is autistic and has said that if her and her husband lost their jobs with Oakley, then they could never afford to pay for all the care and treatment he needs.

It would despicable of Armstrong and Oakley had in any way exploited this fact in order keep her quiet.

It was despicable of McIlvain to compromise her position and her sons care by spilling the beans to LeMond and then threatening Betsy.

After reading how Lance treated Zabriskie, I wouldn't put anything past him.

Harsh, I feel. Do you have an autistic child who will need care until the day he dies? Do you live in a country where there is no high-quality universal health care for all and where the quality of the treatment that you can get for your loved ones depends on having a good employee insurance plan or what you can afford?

Yes, it might have been easier for her had she said nothing to Lemond, but she didn't think it was been taped and even asked if this was the case first.

Yes, she acted very poorly, but I bet she was desperate and I would still say that the real villains are Oakley and Armstrong for making it clear that her job was on the line if she didn't lie for them.

 

[Cloxxki]

That would be something.

I'm not hoping for that outcome, but worry.
There have been enough innocent futures broken or tainted by Bully Oneball.

It would not excuse Stephanie, but it would explain it.

She should be able to speak out, and with impunity.

While the Texas Whistleblower provisions do not cover private companies, since 2004, Stephanie should be protected under the California Whistleblower Protection Act (Oakley is a California company)

What she should be receiving guidance on, however, is that not only has she committed perjury, but she is arguably an accessory to a conspiracy to commit fraud.

Maybe she had other financial incentives--other than simply her job--to lie for Lance?

I am sure that people at Oakley would wonder the same thing. A fling? And hiding it from her husband too?

To think otherwise would be foolish.

One would have to wonder if she was offered money to leave those voicemails.

 

[barn yard]

who leaves voicemails that long?

A jaded lover who has had too much wine.
