What happened to Johan Bruyneel?

It´s very strange. I forgot I posted this thread and finding it basically empty, well strange is the word. JB must have some very good connections to keep silent whatever went down at his arbitration. It´s a kind of Omerta, something he was always very good at.

I heard he's talking to the UCI Truth and Reconciliation commission to try and dodge his sentence.

















Actually I just made that up.

He retired after he came to the realisation that trying to succeed without doping would be too hard. :rolleyes:

Is he going to spill the beans do you think? 2006-2010 must be quite interesting ...

I would love to hear everything that is to be said for the period when Bruyneel was in the middle of the action but i'm sure he will keep his mouth shut.
 
Johan he can't sing the blues
all night long like he used to.
The dust that Armstrong bit down south
ended up in Johan's mouth.
The day they laid poor Armstrong low
Johan split for Ohio.
Where he got the bread to go
there ain't nobody knows.

Poets tell how Armstrong fell
and Johan's living in a cheap hotel.
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
and so the story ends we're told.
Armstrong needs your prayers it's true
but save a few for Johan too.
He only did what he had to do
and now he's growing old.

Haven´t heard anything from the arbitration in London back in December. Did I miss something? Anyone know anything?


I wonder if his lawyers found a slight loophole that CAS/USADA are mulling over.

After reading about USADA's reasoned decision, I wonder if he went to trial to avoid having all the details released publically.

Also, if Brunyeel goes to CAS to continue fighting, the decision might be delayed without us knowing about it.

hes quiet be because hes been told to do so, hes planning something in background for sure.

He's the man I would really like to hear from - he could blow the whole thing even wider open, especially for 2006-2011 : Discovery, Astana, Radioshack ...

I'm sure Lance knows a lot too but probably won't spill unless the whole situation goes nuclear.

A bit rich coming from an absolute sham like him

What's Johan up to? Hanging with his buddies Bob Roll and Sean Yates

An opportune moment for Bruyneel to let Yates ("I only drove the car") into the secret of Armstrong's success...

More like Johan wanting to hear what Sky were doing with Wiggins and Froome ;)
