Watch French anti-doping agency head Pierre Bordry's try to protect his discredited turf with a useless arrest warrant. Love it. I smell French poop.

Genius! For those who like to bitch- move on. It probably is over your head or you way lame and think Lance is cool.

I have a delay going to France, with the new weather and I just found out my passport is expired. Did you know the New World Order computer chips every passport so that they can track you at anytime? Must explain why it costs $150 for a stupid little book. In the meantime I am going to be training 100% doing P90X, cross country skiing, and riding my wind trainer with my fixed gear. I figure I will be in France in about 30 days so I have no time to waste regardless of the snow and blizzards. I am also going to try and fix my laptop so I can start posting videos again.

Have to say I agree ...

How many Toto's in the last 2 years have referenced Armstrong directly or indirectly, 99%? You're perpetuating the fact he's still the Patron of the sport.

Haters love to bitch & moan about LA's money, women, power, twitters etc... whilst the Fans love to egg on the bitching and moaning.

It's funny and a wee bit sad seeing the sport eat itself alive. It has gotten boring.

How about we move to something else? I started to watch "...Toto..." because it was cute last year. But a year later it is boring. Same old stuff!! There is a whole cycling world out there! Why is Boonen getting a pass? Valverde is winning grand tours but can't race in Italy! CAS isn't doing crap! Potential BS level in other stories is high. LA IS history after another year or two as a racer. Move on! Jeez!!

Obsessed, CrankyFeet? Two posts from you in as many days, so I have to laugh.
These LA digs you're reading are not coming out of thin air. He's the most egocentric cult leader I have ever seen and the more you know about him the less there is to like... and, to be as frank as I possibly can, his cancer crusade is just another way for him to remain at center stage. Deal with it.

So Lance says he's not at training camp because he needs to spend time with his kids before going to Europe to race. But he's in Hawaii. OK, the baby probably is in Hawaii too, but what about the three older kids? Aren't they in school in TX?

I see that Lance is leading by example, whilst the "shack" are training in Spain, LA is doing his own thing in Hawaii. Yup. "there is no I in team" Lance, but two in Hawaii.

Finishing 3rd in last year's
By: Brent Clearcoat
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 7:03pm

Finishing 3rd in last year's Tour was a great achievement, incredible after being away for 4 years. The only thing that can undercut it is proof that he cheated, eg. doping,blood doping etc. of which there is some evidence but just as much against Wiggins.
This was a cheap shot by JV and Garmin's over the top goody goody image is becoming a little much.

By: Stan Housing
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 6:17pm

Armstrong strongarmed him into signing that affidavit threatening him (JV) that if he didn't the new team JV was working so hard on would lose sponsors. Armstrong would do to JV that which was gently done to LeMond after his comments (all the calls from the rich in cycling e.g. Weasel et al telling LeMond to shut up).

Betsy as in Andreu? If it's you, I think it's funny as hell that Armstrong is afraid of you!

How could he have lost his team?

Frankie is doing just fine. He's working as a commentataor for Versus. Which sports figures don't go into broadcasting after they retire? He was even DS at Rock Racing for a bit before he and Michael Ball has conflicting ideologies.

JV
By: betsy
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 3:59pm

He could've lost his team had he not recanted.

Frankie didn't recant after he implicated lance in his deposition for the SCA case and look at what happened to him.

Lance has power because people give it to him. Fear is a powerful emotion.

Vaughters is Just as Hilarious
By: Bottom Bracket
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 3:29pm

Vaughters is just as hilarious, comedic, and if not more pathetic than Lance. As per Guido Ferrule's post, David Walsh published Vaughter's chat transcript implicating Lance. However, when confronted about it Vaughters signed a legal retraction saying he never stated or heard of such doping.

If Vaughters was really worth his salt, he would have not backed down from his claims: he would have reiterated his accusations and stood up for what he believed. People will argue that Lance had money and could force Vaughters to recant. However Vaughters is the little man and has no money (comparatively) so he would have nothing to lose by standing up for what he believed. In the end, he simply accepted the status quo and keeled over.

Nice one.

Thanks for the link on the article about JV and Armstrong- "Tool"?? Lance really shows his colors sometimes- so lowbrow to be the voice of the killer of cancer.

I think LA is so sensitive about it because he know's it's true. His reaction definitely indicates that JV struck a nerve.

My memory was that everyone attacked after the crash.

I was just happy to see Zulle back. Who remembers the Lance attack when they crashed on the Passage d'Gois (sp?) '99 Tour, how sporting of him LOL. Then Lance complains he's attacked when taking a pee in a later Tour.

Twitter, I call it the only Spam site that's accepted and has people asking for more spam, how bored are people?

Is it because Lance thinks
By: Brent Clearcoat
Tue, 02/09/2010 - 12:49pm

Is it because Lance thinks that nyvelocity is a slick big city operation that he's given the boys a pass? He'd have shut down or sued anyone else.
"I won't be forgetting" is serious and scary.
Someone from Garmin's going down. Shit, Le Tour might end up looking like the CRCA B Cup Final.
