Tracers my butt, you know how many out of work biochemist exist? They can synthesis minus any tracer for some green backs and if you have enough kaish you're in the tracer free zone.

Crazy Russian doping
By: Pp
Thu, 08/12/2010 - 11:45am

Was discussing this with a Russian ex pro that freaked me out , he said in the 70's he used to take out his own blood , refrigerate it for a month or so then reinject it, before showing his old needle marks. He said it was beautiful " nobody ever knew " and he said everyone did it, right down to eddy .

Scared the crap out of me, as he had the strong Russian accent, and loved it a little too much.

A kidney specialist actually told me that Armstrong would have access to the prototype cera drug back in the day but then they changed the drug years later and put a tracer in it and did not tell anyone, so lots of guys got busted with it if they did not know about tracer.

I'm sure the guys implicated did something but do not agree with the way the media can basically make assumptions without proof, basically destroying lives. In the uk my old news editor went to prison for 6 months cause they wrote some guy was a peadophile , he was but until proven in court you cannot print it as your influencing the public. Say they are innocent then all the hardwork etc is tainted.

I think lance will get away with it as too much money involved but they will take someone else like Levi down

It will be an interesting year, that's for sure.

lets just hope said cyclist isnt the one that flew the Chimira flag. If its someone worthy of credibility - good - I could care less either way. I just dont want to hear about it the day before the friggen prologue. It cheapen's the news to sensationalism and IMO not really fair to the guys that are doing the right thing and are trying to have a good tour experience.
Ex: I dont want to hear Jakob Fuglsangs' opinion on Lance-gate while he's holding the jersey in a good race.

Wow. I didnt know that Armstrong hysteria has brought about its own form of language speak. Maybe Velocity should get a convention going and all you guys can dress up like Kimmage and swap your 'Lance Facts' like trading cards. As a frequent visitor of this site I'm only reassured that most of you are loud mouths spewin off facts like your're holding the armstrong/Bryneel dossier under your nose as you type. As for scandels, testing + is one thing; catching Diluca and the likes I applaud. Speculation, conspiracy, hush money, and lawyer antics is just sensationalism - and for the most part(BS)and usually backed by someone with an ax to grind or with money at stake.
DvB, you should get out your pad and pencil and make a Michael Moore movie about all of your Lance facts. Perhaps you can enlist a few more of these moronic posts to support your story. Maybe call it "Positively Cynical".
Call me old fashion but until there is something solid - I will continue to be skeptical of ALL views regarding this Circus. Its almost certain that sh*t will die down and right around June/July 2011, there will be timely updates of more B.S. (count on it)

The Hog???
By: Noah Brakepad
Wed, 08/11/2010 - 4:21pm

The Hog is the nickname for Johan Bruyneel. A former pro racer who won a stage in the 1995 Tour, during the height of EPO abuse, he won his nickname for his willingness to take massive quantities of any doping product that was available.

When Mr. Pharmstrong wanted to put together a team that could win the Tour de France, he was lucky that the Hog had retired and was available for "coaching". Mostly things like, "Here's your EPO" or later "Here's your bag of blood" or during the race, "Go faster, you nitwits". Then he wrote a book called "Might as Well Win" which should have been called "Might as Well Dope".

Lee3 (and everyone else adopting an ostrich-like approach to facing our sport's problems), please stop with the nonsense that Lance "never tested positive ever." As a frequent visitor to this site, you should no longer believe that canard.

And as for your request for the immediate cessation of the sport's "shitty scandels [sic]," I think you'll find that scandals aren't released like genies from bottles, programmed to chase down your poor heroes and sully their good names. You want the scandals to go away? Then bring down the scandalous.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/horner-speaks-of-tour-disappointment

I remember way back in 92 at Road Natz, he tore off on lap one, 19 years old, 100+ miles solo in Altoona, and it took all of Lance's brigade to bring him back, so much so that Lance "allowed" Chan McRae to win...Lance was a "wrecker" back then and still is, you either sucked his cock or felt his wrath (GH, FL, TH, KL, MJ, how's it feel to be LA's beaches)...can't beat him, join; now he even has claimed Horner.

My advice to Horner, wind...tunnel...prologue...

Kiki vs Kik
By: Joe Public (Duh!)
Wed, 08/11/2010 - 1:43pm

Small point really....

Kiki was her nickname growing up, Lance called her Kik.

(I think she prefers Kiki, just a thought.)

"My name is Kristin Cate, so my little brother called me Kiki when we were kids, this stuck through college and beyond until my husband (now ex), man of few words, shortened my name to Kik. (sounds like Keek, not Kick)"

Unless another person testifies that she did remember at one point, or if there is an email or recorded conversation discovered that suggests she knows anything beyond cancer, bike, France, or yellow bracelets...she won't keep quiet for long. Jail sucks and hanging out with Oprah is too much like fun.

Clemens? indictment coming...
http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/top-posts/rumor-a-roger-clemens-indict...

Kik Armstrong = a criminal investigation will pierce her civil confidentiality agreement with LA. So if she runs and tells Oprah, "yes Lance did tons of epo, cortisone, blood transfusions and testosterone patches," she will be sued for a piece of the multimillion dollar settlement.
Testifying before a grand jury = much different

Spousal privileges:
There are two privileges.
1. Communications. Any communication b/t husband and wife, while they were married, are privileged, regardless of whether they are still married. Either husband or wife can assert.

2. Testimony. A spouse cannot be compelled to testify against the other spouse. This only applies if you are married at the time of the testimony.

So for example, seeing Lance hand a box of EPO to Floyd would not qualify as a communication. Maybe Lance should buy a big Kobe diamond and head over to Kik's house and ask for her hand in marriage...

By: lee3
Wed, 08/11/2010 - 4:33am

What went down with Clemens? He never admitted right? Is he in jail? I just dont see what can be done with a guy 'that has never tested positive' ever. He's stating that he'll go to his grave with those words. Levi - never tested positive with Gerolsteiner. I just dont understand why (like clockwork) doping scandels pop up like some highschool soap opera and ruining what was a great Giro, ToC, and now the tour - which was awesome.
Floyd should've just kept his pie hole shut unless he has a smoking fricken gun. Otherwise wtf..this is just b.s. circus crap. Atleast Puerto had code names - this is all he said she saw and a waste of tax payer $. Go after lance on your own dime.
Ken livingston? That's goin waaaayy back. so far back that I dont care what he says or saw unless he has jpgs. or avi. files to back it up.
Go away shitty scandels so I can enjoy Nibali crush the Vuelta to cap off a good 2010 season.

Her name's not Kiki
By: Rocco McCocco
Wed, 08/11/2010 - 3:18am

Lance called her Kik, not Kiki. And I'm sure LA made her sign an iron clad clause in the divorce contract that if she rats anything he can take away the money, give her cancer, and demand that she owes him a nut. Her lawyers are already working hard to make sure she keeps her mouth shut. -"LeMond's subpoena orders him to produce documents related to the Trek litigation. Among them will be a deposition of Armstrong's ex-wife, Kristin, in which she was represented by her ex-husband's attorney, Tim Herman, who directed her not to answer a series of questions about Armstrong and doping. Herman sought to have the deposition terminated." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2010/07/16/2010-07-16_lemo...

You fellas have got some big balls and are theee Big Swinging Dicks.

Dirk was mightily impressed. He contacted both Pharmstrong and Phil Knight who were so awed by your presence that they are willing to play bottoms, to your tops, in Dirk's new line of prison themed Gay Porn.

I doubt you fellas are into the gay thing, (not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm not either for that matter) but I just thought I'd run it past you.

Let me know because I have legions of fellas from Thailand and Vietnam lined up for a shot if you pass.
