Can't be ruled out
That's my entire point, just that it's possible (even if not likely), and therefore can't be entirely ruled out without more evidence / corroboration. One thought on Frankie and Betsy is that they no doubt compared notes between one another, and would likely either one might have reinforced the other's perception of what they heard, especially if one was sure and the other wasn't. All speculation (just like a lot of what you read here).
Merckx index said:maybe Frankie, Betsy and Stephanie all heard something that could be misheard or misinterpreted as an admission of doping, when in fact it was something else ... That can't be entirely ruled out.
