US prosecutors drop case against Armstrong/USPS

[ChrisE]

I guess we are done here, Fargo's Nutsack has it all figured out.

I'm holding off calling it a day until he provides numbers to back up his assertion that nixing this investigation, NPR, and foreign aid will balance the budget.

Debate the post, don't insult the poster.

If you can't see the relationship between this LA stuff and foreign aid then you have not been paying attention.

No insult Christopher... just a plea for the poster to do some more homework.

And BTW.. there's another 4 posters hopped in after me that expressed the exact same sentiments as me. Mmmm... wonder why?

I'd ask for you to explain the relationship between this LA stuff and foreign aid, but that would result in another 10 page shytestorm... and no-one wants that.

I was making a joke about tying that all together. As I stated upthread, I have a bad habit of forgetting to put emoticons on my sarcastic posts. So, I leave the following emoticon for you after the fact. Take care.

I can't help but chime in here. America can't afford to be wasting money o stuff like this investigation, foreign aid or NPR. Get rid of this stuff and we will balance the budget.

There is no question that this is a baseless investigation. Lance has never ever tested positive and if he was on drugs, you would think that some witness would come forward and spill the beans. There are no positive test results and no witnesses. Just a lot of hard work by a great and talented Athlete.

Thanks for chiming in Frigo's Napsack!

Agree with you except when you say "this is a baseless investigation".
Should be "this was a baseless investigation".

2 years for the Feds to get up to speed on the SSDD we cycling fans have known about for years. Insufficient SSDD. Gee, you don't say. Imagine that.

The funny part - USADA and WADA think there was something new. Global Drug Ring of RICO Distribution. Chinese Bovine Lab of Transformation. Tearful Doper Seasonal Adjustment Disorder Enhancers.

 

[Frigo's Napsack]

First of all, Stingray, I love the Smiths too. Bring on the Dancing Horses is one of my alltime favorite songs.

Second, Polish, you look exactly like the morning anchor on WNEP TV. Seriously.

Finally, this investigation costs millions. That may not sound like much now but add it to the excess we spend on foreign aid and NPR and it may be enough to through the budget out of balance. The sheer meaningless of it is even worse. The man is an American hero and we are spending all of this money to make a political point by bringing him down. It isn't right.

Lastly, there are no positive tests and he is the most tested athlete in the history of the world. His teams have done things right when the rest of the sport was falling down around him.

Thanks.. Peace. No wait.. that's been copyrighted by Stray Dog upthread.

Back to the dropped case...

Seriously Polish. You look like this guy:

I'm posting while on appeal.



Hmmmm, what to make of this lingering Tilford doubt....



Hmmm, he would never think of talking to Frankie about his experiences... very troubling Chris, very troubling....



OMG.. Tilford felt badly for Betsy. I wonder why he's just now feeling badly for the way Betsy feels and has been treated???

The plot thickens....



More 'evidence' that Tilford didn't know that people treated Betsy in such a vile manner because she refused to Lie for Lance.

Oh,... the horror of it all.



Oh no.........

And then.....



But....that's....not....new, is it?



and,



and..........




Ima gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess that Tilford has not been following the Lance drama all that closely. Too busy winning national championships and stuff.

But hey, it's just a guess.

I dare say that you have Tilford love,,,,,,,,you may even be a Tilford Fanboy. Serious ...it is not up to you to take up for TillsFord.

in my opinion I DO FIND It hard to bEEleeb that he did not know about the LA details. Just saying.

 

[Semper Fidelis]

Hey!
Where is Glenn__?

WoW this was just left up here by some overlook. Troll much?

 

[Semper Fidelis]

You should be more specific. Only you know what you are talking about.



Define "clueless"? Clueless as in he hasn't a clue about LA's doping (allegedly), or "clueless" as in he doesn't ever remember seeing the JV/FA back-and-forth?

Is it possible Tilford is not aware of every factoid and rumor surrounding Lance and the doping/federal investigation? Maybe Tilford knows much of the broad strokes but not all of the details?

Thanks in advance for your definition and answers. It will help me answer you more satisfactorily.

Hey I am not sure if I should say this or not but ........IF Tilford's is that clueless about the LA doping info then he should NOT write a F-ing "BLOGG" about it. HE SHOULD stick to riding the BIKE, since he beat the world and all.

 

[mewmewmew13]

wow you Go away for awhile and look what happens...
Last night or the night before it was dissing @RickCrawfish and his musings and tonight it's Tilford.

What gets everyone so riled up about these posts?

oh yeah..
almost forgot the required emoticon.

I'm waiting for the next firestorm of Armstrong information because I'm guessing that there is more to come.

It's cool. We don't have to agree on everything.

Agreed.

Cyclists with his palmares should not have an opinion. And if they do have one they probably should not share it with anybody.

Sports Illustrated article is back in the pipeline my sources tell me..... More to come indeed.

OK. Perhaps when RR holds somebody up as some guru who has an opinion about the subject of this thread, then he can take care it is not just some willfully ignorant yahoo with a blog that happens to ride a bike.

Ah yes, let the trolling continue unabated.

New schtick, Chrissy. You need one.

 

[LarryBudMelman]

Of course it is! The Pharmstrong story is bigger than ever now that he has government officials protecting him..

This thing will go on until there is a cure for cancer...

I thought you said it was over?

Anyway, maybe SI will include the previously excised hookers and blow? They'll be begging for a lawsuit from Wonderboy. How funny would that be?

Chrissy Everett? What are you rambling on about now? Do you have any points to make????

Add that to the list of things he isn't right about.

I thought you were being ironic before. Now it's clear you've gone full re.....

I agree. There should be some kind of exam to pass in order to be considered a bona fide hater. Some writings on Lancey-poo are far too amateurish and discredit the cause.

 

[Stingray34]

He's also facetiously claiming a Joy Division track as a Smiths album in the TFF thread...Class D trolling. Probably a huge Nickleback fan. He has posters of Lance and Chad Kroeger on his wall.

 

[Benotti69]

Can we all please ignore the Napsacker?

It will only encourage the other less obvious trolls, well less obvious to those who don't read the clinic often, who have been frothing at the mouth since Birotte dropped the investigation

 

[fatandfast]

Selena Roberts has safety valves built into her stories about Armstrong. Private jets are somehow tied to doping. She includes Pelota tweets not because of the source or substance,no included because the ball reference hits with her audience. She wrote about the inner office workings at the prosecutors office what they were thinking and doing. Wow did she miss,her signed,sealed and delivered was instead lost in the mail.

The prosecutors office probably looked at the witness list and some trumped up charges and walked from another Bonds-like loser. Now Armstrong's reputation will be handed to the level right above The People's Court or Judge Judy. It has been tossed around about a possible reversal of the SCA ruling.Another note, an official court and a payment to Armstrong,interest and legal fees included.

I hope the new SI article is filled with tasty fresh facts,like who dislikes Armstrong forget the real math again. Leave out the people who obviously do like him and speak with their checkbooks. Mike Anderson's human weight value may again stand up to Sports Illustrated's standards.

Selena was right about some Bonds facts.Her theory was spot on,only wrong case. This time the prosecutor looked at his lot,witnesses,time spent and available personal and walked away before doing a repeat or worse than the Bonds blow out.

Now that Lance's dismissal includes 80's band references maybe The Stranglers? or Dead Milkmen
