“it makes me wonder what his grudge against Armstrong is...”
Start with the beer and Radio Shack adds and work back...pure unadulterated jealousy IMHO.
Even if someone could produce a tape of the actual conversation, and on that tape Lance Armstrong could be heard telling his doctors that he used performance enhancing drugs, I’m not sure this would have any legal effect, because Lance Armstrong could now say that he was lying to the doctors at that time.
It's gone well beyond Ahab stage. It's jihad. What kind of a crackpot spends time doing PI work and taping unsuspecting people?
Armstrong has been tested more than any other cyclist.
Are the tests incomplete?
How could he keep coming up clean.?
Why should it fit?
Maybe, maybe not. From the article:
"According to LeMond's wife Kathy, the tape was made in July 2004."
Well, you’d think that LeMond’s wife would know when the tape was made, and further if she was lying, she’d do so in a way that supported her husband, not (as this does) makes his claims more dubious.
You are of course correct, if I had thought about it, I would have known. Thanks for correcting me.
Whatever his grudge is, it is making LeMond look bad....
Yes! And didn't the Doc himself contradict what Betsy A. (& evidently this Oakley rep too, depending upon to whom she speaking & in what year) said they were even talking about at all?
All of which comports with somebody else's point upthread that it would be very strange for a medical professional to quiz a patient on their history with illegal substances with a crowd of all these non-related people in the room listening in.
Even before the HIPPA regs came into effect, it would have been professionally unethical to do that, not to mention a waste of time, since any answer a patient might give under those circumstances is not guaranteed to be fully truthful.
Tens of thousands? TENS OF EFFING THOUSANDS?
Good God almighty, LeMonde is a very, very, very sick man.
Who knows if LA doped, but it's OVER dammit. Despite extensive testing, he was never caught during competition, his career is now over, and this is what the Feds are spending tax money on to prosecute?
The American people haven't been able to get the DOJ to even look at prosecuting ongoing voter fraud, rampant voter intimidation & blatant suppression of civil rights right under their collective noses, but boy howdy Uncle Sam is going to drain the US Treasury proving what a sports promotion organization tried obsessively for a decade to prove but somehow never could - a freaking FRENCH sports promotion company, at that.
It's a bicycle race, for heavens sake, & the alleged doping they're investigating, if it occurred at all, occurred a decade ago & a continent away.
Our tax dollars at work, people. Uneffenbelievable.
