Ahhh, you sound upset that you did not get the invite.

Actually he's torn. For him, the cost would have been the 25k entrance fee and his conscious would have dictated a tip of $5k or so.

Even though it's a weekend with his hero, $30k is a lot of scratch.

You're the one touting Lance Armstrong.

Touting, Counselor? From RR?

Touting definition: Attempt to sell (something), typically by pestering people in an aggressive or bold manner:

I would suggest his celebrity public speaking circuit demand has waned and he is whoring himself for whatever he can get. Even for a non cancer awareness charity.

Oh really? I seem to recall ridiculing the equally obsessed with seeing them exonerated, and their excuses. I don't recall wielding pitchfork on seeing them go down, but I drink alot and maybe in a drunken stupor I posted something comparable to the typical Velodude post in this thread. I don't care for TH mugging pain in front of the camera or crying on TV about his dog when the US is bombing other countries, but I digress.

You see, Velodude, I don't have the passion to bring any of them down because I just can't deal with the hypocrisy. Seeing people punished for doping when they are competing against other dopers busts a spring in my outrage equilibrium. Seeing LA get busted for wire fraud, transport of drugs, or whatever the charge du jour out of the anonymous leaks is, goes on all over the place with these teams and riders doping all over the world.

That is not to say they should go unpunished. I dare you to find a post of mine in this or any forum where I have said LA should go unpunished (except when I said it to just watch the forum freak out). But, stripping LA of his wins and seeing them go to JU or Basso does not really get my cheering section up. Seeing him prosecuted while there are much larger crooks in this country immune to prosecution, that have real impact on our everyday lives, pizzes me off a little bit as well. The fact so much passion goes into this thread to see this person fall while all of the other fiascos are going on in the world seems a little ****ed up to me, but hey whatever you guys need to do to feel better about yourselves.

In summation ChrisE on another forum never at any time whatsoever bluntly criticized Landis and Hamilton (in contrast to his unwavering support of Armstrong) UNLESS ChrisE at the time was in a regular drunken stupor or acted in contrast to his beliefs on LA only for the purpose of winding up the freaks on the forum.

Words to describe behavior: erratic, unstable, inconsistent, frivolous, unreliable :)
 
Today, paid VIP/fanboy meets.

Tomorrow ribbon cutting.

Next week, dancing as the Yellow Rose's star act, dressed in yellow bibshorts. Middle aged fangirls and boy tipping him increasingly smaller bills as the flexes his muscles for them.

A slippery slope. How do you recover once on it?

On topic then. Why would it all be called off due to lack of evidence when really it was leaks? And why would an intentional coupe of the case not simply destroy evidence?

Of course I bluntly criticized FL and TH. I wrote I criticized their crazed supporters and their BS excuses. And where is my unwavering "support" for LA? Is being aligned with you etal with his mideeds "support"? Or, is tempering my outrage and being critical of the fervor against him "support"?

Again, if you can find a post of mine that says LA should not be punished for any rule breaking or crimes, or that he didn't do any of the things you etal claim, then I will be glad to discuss that post with you in detail. Good luck with your search...you will need it.

Until then, all you are doing is throwing feces around your cage.

The "Hog Yikes" rode for 7-11 back in 1989 then in 1991 with MotoRollow.

My good friend had a wonderful analogy the other night over a few ales.

He likened Pro Cycling to the P*rn industry. On the outside looking in it looked glamorous, clean and healthy. In reality its full of drugs, fake performances and shocking working conditions.

It goes something like:
"Do you guys know how awesome I am? I'm making everyone aware of cancer. It's a serious problem."

"I'm the most awesome person in the room. Right?"

"Did you know that I'm a great guy? I'm so awesome. Those haters just want to be miserable instead of being like me. Awesome."

When has any pro sport, let alone cycling, ever looked "glamorous, clean and healthy" from the outside? C'mon, beer goggles aren't an excuse.

And you and Dirtyworks must love juvenile diabetes. Shame shame.

Lance was cleared by the Feds due to insufficient evidence.

The investigation into GJ leaks is a whole other case, still might be ongoing for all we know. But in the end, IMO, I would expect the FDA or whoever to be cleared - also due to insufficient evidence. Although Goober might disagree with me on that.

And you lost me on the coupe conspiracy.

Not interested in trawling through thousands of your posts on two forums just to again rebut your claims.

Your avatar is a dead giveaway.

There was a doberman performing moderator on the other forum by the handle of ChrisH who also was an unashamed LA sycophant with an LA avatar. A cycling forum and he never rode a bike!

Strange you list your interests on that forum as "Fishing, boating, travelling, golf." No cycling? Déjà vu?

PS:
Many typos (or spelling mistakes) in your post. You once again on the turps? :)

It is also possible that the feds had sufficient evidence, but a Lance-led ninja team (who each paid $25K for the privilege) broke into the evidence lockers and destroyed all the incriminating evidence! You can't prove that didn't happen, now, can you?

Followed the link to the site that is going to pay Lance !

Exactly skippy.

Lance is training there anyway, why not donate his time and raise a few hundred thousand bucks for a local charity. The few hundred thou is peanuts to Lance, but to the local charity it is very helpful.
I would think the local charity approached Lance, and Lance would not could not say no.

And MarkvW, the FACT that the Feds found insufficint evidence of Lance Ninja Teams is reason enough for me to believe it did not happen. Simple as that.

Well, if you are lazy then don't make bizaar unrelated accusations about how we talked about TH and FL over 5 years ago vs my opinions in this thread. You cannot get ahead in this world if you are lazy, and you will eventually become a burden to society. Non-lazy people like me and LA should not have to carry people such as yourself thru life.

You are just trolling. I get that but at least be willing to back it up and string it all together in a coherent manner. You have a long way to go with your trolling skills. I can send you some links to my best work in other forums if you wish to study....just let me know. It's been awhile, but hopefully I can find them.

Your avatar is a dead giveaway.

My avatar has changed several times for various reasons, and I see this one has the desired effect lol.

I will change it back to Chaka if that will help you. You can then record yourself making Chaka-like grunting noises when reading my posts. When you play it back you should be able to understand better.

There was a doberman performing moderator on the other forum by the handle of ChrisH who also was an unashamed LA sycophant with an LA avatar. A cycling forum and he never rode a bike!

That's strange. I never had a problem with ChrisH aka "the doberman" moderator except when he got into a dustup with my bud chris t. The ones I had issues with were the one with two names "dvd and vd" or something like that, and logical cranium. DVD/VD got pizzed when I cut/pasted a forwarded PM between chris t and ChrisH onto the forum. Nobody has a sense of humor in these forums.

Ahhh, I see where you are going now.... :D

Strange you list your interests on that forum as "Fishing, boating, travelling, golf." No cycling? Déjà vu?

Oh no, I have been exposed! I am the rogue non-riding LA-worshipping doberman mod ChrisH! :rolleyes: You win.

No wonder I was so dizzy when I posted that PM from ChrisH to chris t...I was ChrisH! At the time I felt like I was on that barrel ride at Astroworld....you know the one that spins around and you stick to the wall, then throw up. It's all good now. Thanks for clearing up this 7 year long mystery.

PS:

I use spell-check at work, not here. Sorry. No, I am not drinking at this time...right now I am eating some leftover Italian food from yesterday and drinking water. I have no excuse for my poor grammar and I wood aprecite it if you wood cut me sum slak. i wil start drink latr so i mite get write wors.

No thanks. You have to want to go and get better or AA does you no good. I have been trying to get Glenn to go for awhile now, and he just laughs and asks if I want another round.

You should wait for the leak stating whether or not the ninja teams existed or not. Without leaks we are in limbo, and we have no choice but to believe the ninja teams stole the evidence because everything associated with LA is bad. BAD I SAY! The leaks will prove this, and if they don't prove the ninja teams exist then there is a conspiracy.

BTW, I thought the feds determined there were no leaks, but now this thing has turned into a sieve. :confused:

We have the forum smart guys quoting these leaks to prop up their hate, while just a few months ago they said there were no leaks and LA was playing lawyer games. Are LA's rights to not have GJ stuff leaked waved off after the conspiracy takes place? Or, does bringing ninjas into the equation cross the line of fair play, and the gloves come off? :rolleyes:
