[flyor64]

Or can this just be the legitimate thread now?!?!

And to be released on the day of the prologue...

Let this be the thread (but maybe a mod can adjust the title).

It feels like I have butterflies in my stomach a little bit

This is clearly a vicious Internet rumor started by haters. The sniffers told me so.

Damn. You got me. Not bad photoshop skills though, eh?



(this is a joke by the way, the photo is authentic from competitive cyclist's twitter feed).

 

[Race Radio]

Nothing to see here, please move along. We all know that the anything you read in the clinic is just the invention of some tinfoil hat wearing haters.

 

[Roland Rat]

To those in the know, is the article as originally written or has anything been amended this week because of legal pressure?

You just have to love that headline.

It's odd that the WSJ is going for the Landis tell-all - I don't read that publication but, given it's business focus, I imagined its angle would be more on the possible misappropriation of sponsers' money and such. This is the angle that the Feds are apparently interested in.

Does anyone know if the weekend edition is available online electronically?

 

[MacRoadie]

Now Mr. Landis gives the Wall Street Journal an exclusive tour through what he and others say was a culture of systematic doping in the sport.

1. Not just another re-hash of old stuff but the promise of a comprehensive study.

2. Others have been talking.

 

[Barrus]

I second the notion that this should be the new thread, or that at least another thread needs to be opened and not reopening the old thread.

Also anyone from Europe knows if this will be in the European edition as well? Because than I can go out and search for it tomorrow

 

[CycloErgoSum]

Who are 'the others'? Is there going to be corroboration?

 

[python]

i will be monitoring the article for new revelations/facts, meaning those that haven't been revealed in the emails and the follow up articles.

hope there will be a lot particularly re the investigation progress.

Finally!

Let me go ahead and write the fanboy response.

-Landis is a liar, he lied and now he says he is telling the truth, but if he lied before, how do you know he is telling the truth?
-Landis is a blackmailer.
-Landis is making the whole thing up. He is bitter because he cannot ride for a good team anymore.
-Lance never tested positive.
-Even if Lance doped, he was only doing what everyone was doing, and it takes nothing away from his wins.
-Because he fights cancer, he is above all of this. He has helped so many people, that this doping stuff means nothing.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters believe anything
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters are speculating.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters need to go ride your bike.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters are falling into the "tall poppy" syndrome.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters don't understand that this is all a lie.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters are in a circle jerk.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters are losers who have to beat on Lance because you are failures.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters are fatties who have never raced.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters have no proof.
-Ha, ha, ha, you haters believe Floyd because you are stupid.
-I am not a Lance fan, but you guys are stupid.
-I have lurked for awhile, and am posting for the first time because you haters are stupid.
-I don't really care about this, or Lance, but I am taking my time to tell you haters that you are stupid.
-Ashenden is a hater who only does questionable science.
-Nazi French frogmen have obviously planted evidence, and continue to keep this conspiracy going.

I know I left out many, but this is a good start. Any of my fellow haters are free to add to the list.

Please, if you are a fanboy or are "not a fan" of Lance or "don't really care" about Lance or this, then please just quote this post and add a "+1" as your contribution. I have done all of the hard work for you, and it will free up your time to sit around and feel superior.

As for the article, I eagerly await it.

Please read my fanboy response. Obviously, you are "speculating" and that is not allowed in the world anywhere ever.

Just FYI - The Weekend edition is supposed to be more "lifestyle content" Sports, travel, Fine dining etc.. suposed to compete with Sunday/NYT magazine section

 

[hektoren]

The Crystal Ball says we're about to have a rerun of the "He did", -"Of course I didn't"-event. Some new details, some new insights, but no real proof. Still waiting for the cataclysm post-TdF when two cooperative riders take center stage. But I'll read it anyway.

more interesting will be to hear responses from the *official* armstrong mouthpieces: public strategy, the shack lawyers and the fraud himself.

I'm sorry Alex. I'll take "-I don't really care about this, or Lance, but I am taking my time to tell you haters that you are stupid." for $100 please.

I hope that's the case, but it could be they're referring to older stuff like Manzano.

Apparently, the WSJ doesn't believe in miracles.

 

[Anonymous]

Hey, Lance and Bruyneel like their credibility. The WSJ is just some rag filled with the writing of fish hacks. They just look at stuff like this and say "We might as well win."

ahhhh thanks. Aint competition wonderful?

I gotta buy this. I'm in Australia for this Tour (massive bummer) and will have to suffer the sycophant twins' commentary (even bigger massive bummer). Any Aussies regularly buy this? Is there a weekend edition?
