Do you have a spare 28 hours?
Bang this box set on and it should explain everything. Utterly ridiculous.

flicker said:I never said you were wrong, hog. We are talking Levi and Popo, now and in the past 3 years. I would like to hear some good evidence, besides Ukranian folk songs, big bubba and the MIGHTY LEVI LEIPHEIMER!!!!!!!!
I never argue with you guys and I am here to learn.

flicker said:Lances' magnificient 7 could also be given an analogy to the film 'There Will be Blood. We are speaking the sport of cycling, enjoy the spectacle, it is not real life. When we get to serious about a sport we tend to take the fun out of it.
The Pyrenees, Alps, Dolomites, a pure gladiator contest, enjoy it for what it is, an epic painfest. That other film, documenting the 73 Giro, 'Stars and Water Carriers', watch their pain and suffering.
Do you think Lance experienced any less pain than any other rider?
BroDeal said:There could be problems getting Popo back in the U.S. for trial. No such problems for Leipheimer. Plus Leipheimer can talk about what Bruyneel was doing in the early 00's.

Weapons of @ss Destruction said:Is that a new interrogation technique for investigators? Sounds painful. I'd definitely talk before they tried to use it on me.

LOL. That is really funny.BroDeal said:It was as obvious as Ricco and Schumacher. Leipheimer had to dope to make it as an amateur. You think a twerp like him was podiuming in GTs while clean? Whatever Contador was on, Leipheimer must have been buying it in fifty-five gallon drums. The dude's basement must look like the back room of a Walgreens.

Those should be publicly available records, right ?
I gave it a try this afternoon, didn't have much luck.

MarkvW said:The whole world does not revolve around Armstrong. Michael Ball, for instance is probably very nervous right now. The person who actually sold Floyd his dope is probably very nervous right now. Perhaps the whole network of people who supplied Floyd have been compromised. There is a whole load of righteous targets that Novitzky is doubtless working on. If any undercover or wiretap work was done, well . . .WOW.
Your argument assumes that the feds are out to get Lance, in particular. That just can't be true. You are asserting that the federal investigation is stupid if it continues without a prospect of nailing Lance. It is not stupid if it nails others, and I have great confidence that others will be indicted--I just have no confidence that Lance will be indicted (criminally).
RICO predicate acts are federal crimes. Nothing that you recite looks like a federal predicate offense, nor is there anything that suggests Lance's personal agreement to the commission of a predicate act.
Nothing I've seen on this forum indicates anything like a chargeable federal crime. By the way, a prosecutor's conviction rate would tend to inversely relate to that prosecutor's indictment rate.
My premise is straightforward: The facts that are publicly available make it more likely that Lance will not be indicted. I have yet to see anything resembling a good argument that it is more likely that Lance will be indicted (but I have been compared to a 4 year old and my argument has been called stupid).
The ad hominem argument, the "you're a Lance lover" argument, the "word on the street" argument, the "I have superior knowledge" argument, and the "why are you here" argument are arguments unworthy of grown-ups.

Well, that's kind of key right there - forum discussions are interesting and all but I doubt that we are aware of even a fraction of the "facts" that Novitzky et al. have in hand. And along those lines, I highly doubt the investigation would still be going forward if they didn't already have some very interesting "facts" in hand.MarkvW said:The facts that are publicly available
