Maybe some kind of donation related issue, perhaps.
What, are you possibly suggesting that Lance Armstrong donated 100,000 dollars to the UCI? really? what if he was in business with the vice president of the UCI? That surely wouldn't be allowed would it?
What was the official outcome of the fbi investigation?
Can you read? Yes? Then read about it, and just maybe you might learn something
heres a snippet though
USADA has said previously that at least 10 former Armstrong teammates and associates would testify against him, but vowed to keep the names confidential
Strange. Funny how all the Tour cheats are caught within a couple of years huh
really? only most investigations of organised doping based on non competition testing evidence take years and are ongoing.
there are still open investigations of spanish/italian teams and riders that are yet to run the course. these investigations are never as clear cut as a positive in competition test, and often riders who never test positive from random testing during racing are still implicated in investigations or banned.
I'm not really having a pop at hora, only having a go at his fingers-in-ears attitude.
I've been there, been the Armstrong fan, been shocked when it was suggested he wasn't clean, and slowly but surely read all the stuff there is to read about him.
It's like a child who thinks that he can get away with telling a lie, then has to tell more lies to support the first lie, then has to ask or make other people lie to support the lies he told to support that first lie.
It should have beeen obvious that too many people knew too much, but it seems that a lid has been kept on it, at least in the mainstream media. The American websites, roadbikereview and cycling news have had people who didn't believe the clean story for years now. Initially they were seen as cranks, oddballs with axes to grind. Funny how things turn out...
Hes not been found guilty.However for amateur sleuths that doesn't compute
i'll tell you who is guilty, Hora for buying a piece of yellow plastic on ebay for 4.99 (free postage) just so he could feel like he 'believed'.
It's like a child who thinks that he can get away with telling a lie, then has to tell more lies to support the first lie, then has to ask or make other people lie to support the lies he told to support that first lie.
a bit like landis before he finally came clean, which is quite a story, the child abuse conversation with LeMond and the subsequent events etc.
funny how LA uses what Landis has said/written to both discredit and back-up his own 'story'.
when the dust settles it's going to make an interesting film, you really couldn't make this shit up.
I think the other thing worth mentioning, and a thing even I've forgotten about, is that it's not about LA alone... There are 5 others under investigation too, most of whom have a lot less cash to fall back on and no publicity machine.
It will be interesting to see if any of them crack...
ok people look at the 2005 final rankings
Lance won
Basso 2nd - busted
Jan Ullrich - never tested +ve but admitted following investigation
Mancebo - found guilty by the spanish investigation Puerto (which evidenced for Ullrich)
Vinokourov - busted in 2007
Leipheimer - mate of Lances, never tested positive but Gerolsteiner (the team he rode for) were disbanded for other riders' busts
Rasmussen - thrown out of the tour for lying about missed tests, later admitted to clubbing money together with other riders to buy a blood plasma centrifugal stripper
Cadel Evans is generally considered to have ridden clean throughout his career was 11 minutes back
but saint lance beat all the users of blood doping and epo and testosterone without any assistance from any dope, and not just by a few seconds but 5, 10 minutes...
And he refers to Michele Ferrari as his 'family physician', a doctor who has been banned by the Italian cycling authorities for repeatedly supplying dope to riders
Lance did everything that all the others did. the UCI turned a blind eye and McQuaid and his cronies all need the sack otherwise the sport will never improve
Mancebo - found guilty by the spanish investigation Puerto (which evidenced for Ullrich)
Was he?
