I know we have seen some ignorant comments in online newspapers and other non-cycling magazines but from VeloNews? Back in the day when I had a had a subscription it was read primarily by racers who had some kind of clue. Public Strategies? Check out this gem:
" Good luck proving anything. Armstrong has been tested negative 378 times . This is the official WADA number on how many times Armstrong has been tested. This is the story guys, 378 vs Floyd's stories. I really can't understand what this goofball nowitzki (or whatever his name is) is looking at.
And this:
" Really good points! I must say I've followed Lance for a year now on Twitter and have read a lot about him through the years--and one thing I could NEVER believe about Lance--that he'd EVER get a "doping" blood transfusion in front of Floyd Landis. Armstrong is intelligent. He considers everything he does and figures out all the possible consequences and then prepares to eliminate all possible errors and give himself the best chance always. It would be totally anti-Lance to so openly dope, especially in front of the someone like Landis. Also, a refrigerator in the closet?? Please?? How many closets in Spanish towns have outlets in their closets? I don't have any outlets in any of my closets. I would imagine doping control would have gotten a little suspicious if an extension cord were running out of the closet. And Landis' story about Lance asking him to watch the refrigerator holding bags of blood of Lance and George Hincapie??? It doesn't wash either! What would Floyd have done if the electricy went out? Is Floyd a secret electrician??"...
Wow....
