Secretariat heart?

I heard from an impeccable source that his heart is as big as a pumpkin. Where did that source go anyway? He has to be around here somewhere.

The big heart and bellows explains the hump.

Surely somebody like Armstrong would feel he needed to remove the chance of any stored blood being found with the investigation going on, would he simply destroy it, or do you think there's a chance that he's left some in a fridge looked after by his current 'floyd'. If so, he'd have to be very sure this guy was going to remain loyal, otherwise there's the risk that week 3 of the Tour is going to look pretty bad for anybody who's not following their usual programme.

U.S. Casts Wider Net in Probe of Cycling

A federal probe into doping in professional cycling is proceeding quickly, and investigators are currently in discussions with several riders and their attorneys to secure their cooperation after the Tour de France ends later this month.

Cyclist George Hincapie of the BMC professional cycling team, now competing in the Tour de France, has been called by Mr. Novitzky but hasn't talked directly to him. One person familiar with the matter said that Mr. Hincapie's lawyer has been talking to investigators and that Mr. Hincapie is likely to agree to talk to Mr. Novitzky when he returns to the U.S.

Bernard Kohl backs up Floyd's description of the transfusions:

"That was exactly the way I also did it," said Mr. Kohl, referring to Mr. Landis's allegation that he and other U.S. Postal riders received blood transfusions during the tour in a hotel room. "The details of the blood bags and the checking for cameras and microphones, the cutting up of the bags and flushing them in the toilet, it all took place in exactly that way," he added.

I posted this in the links thread, but am placing it here too, since we are not allowed to have discussion in the links thread. Some new information in this article.
