Apologies if this has been linked to on another thread but Pat McQuaid gave an interview yesterday on Irish radio.
So todays the day...what will the UCI say?

I cant agree with you and FM on this based on one blood test I had that happened to include a Haematocrit Level
Result: 47% - there goes my ambition to be an Elite Rider
It maybe (I have no idea) but the site is headlined "satire", sadly.
Damn, I thought I'd hook someone!
Here's the real Cookson thoughts!

This article in CW details the financial difficulties facing Armstrong, which could see the fortune he has amassed wiped out -

The UCI must be crapping themselves, should Lance be backed into a corner where he has nothing left to lose and is only left with the choice between humiliation and war he could decide to reveal where the bodies are buried.

those aren't thoughts. Thoughts are the product of mental effort.

There are always medical exceptions - as there are for particular drugs. With the biological passport, it should be easier to establish what counts as 'normal' for each person. Should be.

Maybe you're a natural
. Have a word with Brailsford

Here for rides.
He'll just "write the checks". Net worth $100+ million, plenty of rich folk prepared to help bail an all-American hero out, hell the US public are so gullible if he started a fighting fund he'd have enough to pay everything back in less than a year. I doubt he's losing sleep over the financials side of things. Perjury charges on the other hand..... but then there probably isn't a DA in the US who'd (be allowed to) prosecute or a jury who would convict.

Me too. Over the last 5 years, my hematocrit level has varied between 40% and 47% with no change in diet, exercise levels and non-use of PEDs
. The local health authority (or whatever it's called) define low hematocrit level as below 40% and high as above 54%.

I believe the US statute of limitations for Perjury is expired (here), and I don't know he's done anything that would reset it (unlike the cycling one).
