covie Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 He is said to have admitted, while he was in a hospital bed, to taking PEDs. Does that help? Do you know the rest of the Andreu story? Yeah, i do and guys dont get me wrong i couldnt care either way if the dude gets nailed or not, if he did or not, I just love public opiion on this.
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 "In an interview with the New York Times in September 2006, Andreu admitted that he had taken EPO to help prepare for the 1999 Tour de France, when he was riding for the US Postal team which assisted Lance Armstrong to his first Tour victory.[3] Andreu said he was introduced to performance enhancing drugs in 1995 while he was riding for Motorola.[4]" Wonder why the FEDS ignored this. Andreu (why would he lie) stated he doped while riding for USP. Also as he was being paid by USP surely he should be wearing metal bracelets and getting pally with Baba for cheating. What he did isn't criminal in the US.
TNT1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Again, the feds weren't investigating anyone for doping, but rather how the dope was bought and paid for. - Just taking performance enhancing drugs is not illegal in the USA.What he did isn't criminal in the US. Too slow...
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah, i do and guys dont get me wrong i couldnt care either way if the dude gets nailed or not, if he did or not, I just love public opiion on this. So you know that her story and decision to call off the engagament over Lance's admission was corroborated by her friends when interviewed by David Walsh? What would they have to gain from this? At the time, Lance was pretty unknown in the US.
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Too slow... I do work sometimes, you know.
scotty Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Too slow...Promise i'll get faster. Its easy to get sidetracked when you defending your idol.
SwissVan Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Doctor says no. What reason would he have for lying, did anyone check if he came to own a new pool or fancy car shortly after. Andreu testified that while visiting Armstrong in the hospital for treatment of testicular cancer in 1996, Andreu overheard Armstrong tell his oncologist that he had used “steroids, testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone and EPO [an illegal performance-enhancing drug].” At the time it happened according to the Andreu's they tried to leave the room when the Cancer Dr's came in to speak to LA, but apparently LA told them to stay.Why would LA admit to using PED's in front of the Andreu's, does not make sense to me....
TNT1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Why would LA admit to using PED's in front of the Andreu's, does not make sense to me.... Because Lance and Frankie rode and doped on the same teams together?
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Because Lance and Frankie rode and doped on the same teams together? Frankie did, however, claim that he only doped at a later stage.
scotty Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Apparently WADA inquiry venue has been anounced

scotty Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Frankie did, however, claim that he only doped at a later stage.You buy the doctor was lying and his motivation was financial. Was this proven or speculation. Edited February 9, 2012 by scotty
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 You buy the doctor was lying and his motivation was financial. Was this proven or speculation. Specualtion, but it's plausible. Maybe recognition is another motivation. Wasn't he the one who said he'd bring Lance back stronger? He was only called on to refute the allegation long after Lance has emerged on the world stage. The prestige of being the healing the oncologist who brought back Lance would serve him well.
TNT1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Andreu said he was introduced to performance enhancing drugs in 1995 while he was riding for Motorola.[4]" Frankie did, however, claim that he only doped at a later stage. Que?
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Que? My recollection is a wee bit faulty…sorry…
fandacious Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 I think oakley and nike are deeply involved and know far to much and that is why it got dropped ,to many high profile individuals with connections ! possibly why they agreed to stand by his side during the investigation?
