CarteBlanche Armstrong Story

[nuge]

Did they interview the guy that lost out to LA in pursuing Sheryl Crow? Apparently he now wants to be credited as her boyfriend from 2003-2006.

post of the day, well done sir!

Definitely do something about it, but why focus on Lance?

The problem for me here is really if you look at what guys like Jorge said last night. All teams had organized doping and he tried to give the facts to the UCI but they did nothing.

 

The team bosses and the doctors should be the ones that should be focused on , now everybody just wants to crucify Lance and I don't think that will improve cycling...it will just make the Public feel better about him.

 

Same thing happened with Puerto, Valverde needs to admit to what he has done.

But still to today nobody wants to know how he got to be a client of Puerto.

 

For sure we need to fix the problem in it's entirety. The media focuses on Lance because he made so much out of selling the fairy tale, made so little out of those who tried to uncover the reality behind the story.

Ek is geen expert, maar dit lyk vir my asof Lance nie alleen die een moet face nie. Ons weet almal dat die sport ongelooflik kompiterend is en dat die Pro's onder groot druk verkeer om te presteer. Die jong manne is onder druk geplaas om te presteer en dus te "dope". Hulle is deur die spanbase en die dokters basies oorreed om te dope en nou moet hulle alleen die "music face". 'n Jong man moet nie voor hierdie keuses geplaas word deur die mense wat hul van leiding en raad moet bedien nie. Ek praat dit nie goed nie, maar dit lyk al meer of die manne nie veel van 'n keuse gehad het nie. Die borge wat ten alle koste prestasie vereis het, kan ook blameer word. Miskiens is daar te veel op die spel en soos met alles "professioneel" word dinge te ver gevoer indien die geld so belangrik raak. Ek dink almal van daardie era moet aanvaar dat hul bygedra het tot die situasie en moet daarvoor verskoning maak, dit agter hulle sit en die sport op 'n nuwe pad plaas, sodat almal betrokke weer met trots kan sê dat fietsry in al sy dissiplinnes, die sport kan wees waarvoor ons almal lief is.

It irritated me that the carte blanch presenter referred to LA as the greatest of all time in his intro. It was all downhill from there.

I was surprised that CB didn't make us sit through 90% of their usual k@k stories first and then blitz though a 5 minute "Lance Armstrong is a Doper Special" right at the end...

 

All the 'evidence'/ accusations still seem to be scattered all over the show with no one able (or bothered) to pull it all together. What I got out of it all is that the governing bodies seem to be super dodgey.

 

This is for certain though - Either Lance really pissed off all those people giving evidence against him (that used to apparently be so close to him) or someone who really hates Lance has something on these same people, to make them come forward with all the stories.

Everybody has their knives in for the cyclists, their entourages and the participating governing bodies!

 

What about the manufacturers and distributors of EPO?

I actually watched it and enjoyed it, compelling viewing.

That French lab chick is sif, and I wouldn't trust her ........... ever.

Tyler's expression did not convince me.

Betsy looks angry smug.

 

Did he dope, I am sure we all would agree that he possibly definitely did.

fixed.

EPO is a drug used legally in various spheres of the medical industry.

 

Taking them on is like taking gun manufacturers to court for killing people. Oh wait. That has already happened.

 

Never mind. As you were...

Reminds me of Barney Stinson's tweet yesterday: "If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars make people drive drunk and spoons make people fat."

What a strange statement, only the "spoons make people fat" one might hold water .

Hamilton looks like a crackhead?? Seriously?? You ever seen a real life crackhead before? Real real skinny, grey skin, hunched over, constant trembling, speak in whispers, absolutely no muscle tone, scared of loud noises, bright lights and their own shadows. He looks like an old school stoner if you ask me.

 

Anyway that is beside the point. The question was did LA dope and if you say he didn't then accusing other guys of doping is not actually a defense. It is an excuse.

 

The reason Hamilton pulls hotties is he is hugely talented, rich and determined. Apparently the hotties don't care that he doped nor do they care what we on the Hub say or think. I could be wrong but I suspect Hamilton doesn't care either.

That's exactly what I saw on the T.V. last night.

Have lost many friends to crack. Prepared to bet he is not crackhead. Perhaps my TV settings are different to yours.

[nochain]

Thanks to Carte Blanche every time I meet with non cyclist family and friends over the next couple of months I will have to talk about Lance...

I know we don't really condone drugs, but "chill pill" springs to mind.
