Lol. Like being in high school and secretly talking about weed.

Of course Tyler brings up Andriol, riders called the pills Ferrari's beans.

"Sprinters were getting over the climbs and winning mountain stages"

GH come 2005 comes to mind. Or was that 2004?

corticoids for time trials, rather than for saddle sore

I gotta admit, this is more fun watching than today's Giro stage was--and that was pretty epic.

I think "white lunch box" is a phrase with staying power, expect to hear it a lot around here in the future.

Hmm, I thought there would be a bit more than the interview with Ty (maybe to come).

He comes across well though. In the news clips he looked a little unconvincing, but here he is very assertive.

Most think Tyler is shady. They don't realize Tyler is getting rid of the weight of the world from his shoulders. Or they don't care.

 

[nvpacchi]

OT, but when did Anderson Cooper become a 60 Minutes correspondent?

 

[roundabout]

Bah, strike one against state-sponsored teams.

Katusha riders are boned should they get caught.

Luis Garcia del Moral, who said he oversaw two other medical staff members on the team from 1999 to 2003, said Landis’s claims are “ridiculous” and he wasn’t aware of any cheating. Landis also accused Armstrong of blood doping, a claim the seven-time Tour champion denies.

“It seems crazy, I don’t know this part of the story of the U.S. Postal team, of course,” Garcia del Moral said in a telephone interview. Landis, stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping, is trying to “make some money” after losing his fortune, Garcia del Moral added.

Garcia del Moral, who had worked with the Spanish cycling federation, said he was hired by Bruyneel and oversaw another Spanish doctor, Jose Aramendi, and an Italian physician he identified as Nino on the U.S. Postal team

LA pledged that he never tested positive - authorities are looking into test in 2001 - in Switzerland -- Talking about when LA failed a test - says he had a positive test for EPO in TD Swiss - Lance told TH that he failed a test for EPO -
LA wasn't worried - he was very relaxed about it. LA laughed it off

"People took care of it" Iknw that Lance's people and UCI took care of it. Figured out a way to get past it - told this by Lance."

2001 Tour de Suisse coverup!

 

[roundabout]

Uh-oh, corruption ahead.

 

[sniper]

Kaboooooooooooooooom

 

[oldschoolnik]

60 minutes asked that Swiss lab found that first test for EPO was positive. Lab director sworn testimony told him that member of UCI arranged that the test go away (!)

Lab director of swiss lab met with Johann or Lance met with lab director of Swiss lab!!!

WADA David Hallman chief says very unusual.

 

[Epicycle]

That was a major bombshell. Lance meets with head of Swiss lab after positive EPO test, meeting is arranged by UCI.

 

[roundabout]

Ha, 'training properly'. Nice euphinism.

[theswordsman]

None of the samples that were positive at the 2001 Tour de Suisse belonged to Lance Armstrong? How many guys got popped?

Continued large cash payments to Ferrari through 2010?

Talking about $25k donation then $100k donation. WADA says never heard anyone else giving $ before.

12)
Michelle Ferrari now being discussed (nothing new here so far) Tyler says Ferrari advised how to do drugs - "he's a brilliant guy" the doping part Ferrari gave him schedule for EPO.

LA says he ended his relationship in 94 but 60 mins says he's

Montage of Lance's statements about being clean (2001) - ouch very damning here.
2004 " we got nothing to hide" we proven were clean"

2010 - "it his word vs ours..."

13) Tyler's gold medal now

 

[roundabout]

Residual effects of past doping?

Huh, huh, huh.

 

[The Hitch]

Thats all folks.

 

[sniper]

significant payments to Ferrari up till 2010

 

[oldschoolnik]

TH says he didn't dope at Olympics - but says its possible that he had residual effects of previous programs.



Summary -

Swiss lab stuff is most damning and new information. Puts Lance and Bryneel in meeting with Swiss Lab director in 2001 - lab director sworn affidavit says - UCI arranged the meeting and that UCI wanted to make test go away. WADA director says it's very uncool.
