Emma O Reilly

[slowmotion]

I have nearly finished reading this book. It's really pretty difficult to think that LA is anything other than a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

Welcome to Planet Earth, Slomo!

He is till playing games, and as Oldroadman says he is still trying to get let of.

He may eventually name names or give evidence, but it will be on his terms, and to his advantage

That is why he is still offering little bits of information (nothing new) as bait.

 

[ufkacbln]

And that is why I say we, that is the world as a whole, should turn our collective back on him and take no notice.

Except that this is a game where some people have an interest in his knowledge and "need" to know.

The question is really how far people are going to compromise to get it.

It's a strange confusing place.

I never had any doubts about LA's true nature after seeing the clip of him at the Tour of California trying to steamroller Kimmage. The clip of him with Greg Lemond somewhere else was pretty good too.

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

He's so self involved that he has even managed to turn a thread titled "Emma O Reilly" into a discussion all about him!!

 

[ufkacbln]

There are however lessons to be learnt, that is why there is still an interest and he is still able to bargain

I have just got into cycling but obviously know of Lance Armstrong and the rumours but I think (in my opinion) he is being sincere and the way he is now conducting himself is admirable, a lot of people would come out and try and deflect the blame and start to bring in all the names but he is only naming people who told the truth and he done wrong by.

I still think he is an inspiration but only for his dedication to training. I watched a video the other day and he was out training and he was told to stop x amount of miles up the road due to snow and he was so stubborn that he wasnt wanting to stop.

Lance Armstrong is a Sociopath who will try and manipulate every situation to his advantage, do not be taken in by him .

Thanks Colin, I was meaning was it someone specific, maybe someone she had a connection with or was it just in general

Is it ?
Have you seen any indication under Cookson that the UCI are making compromises ?

Tom Simpson was one rider who died from the illegal use of drugs, so it goes back a long way.

Not yet - but that is why it is a question, and why Armstrong is passing out titbits to assess the depth of the water

Hopefully there will be no compromise, but in the future there may be diffrent circumstances
