The Armstrong Lie

[Pro Tour Punditry]

ok thats cleared that up nicely, no wait still doesn't make sense...

I was using your train of thought from earlier. Wiggins et al are only saying what they are saying because that's what expected of them, so we don't really know what they really think; likewise, Roche is only saying what he is saying because that's what's expected of him.

Glad you acknowledge it making no sense

Ok I'll answer that for you. He's clearly incapable of anything other than PR rehabilitation

No you haven't, you have answered for YOU..

 

[ufkacbln]

How on earth would you know?

I see personal insults are still the pinnacle of your contribution.... the evidence stands for itself.

All that needs to be said really

Armstrong remains a shrewd operator who is capable of twisting this to his own ends....

There are lots of hints that the present ban and other censure could be reduced.

Just because it hasn't been asked for yet, does not mean it wont........

Exactly what I thought. He could easily turn himself into some sort of anti-doping tsar, he's a natural crusader for himself.

Trouble is how far can you isolate him?


Public opinion has always been fickle, and the US always love a tainted hero who learns from their mistakes and makes a comeback

With the present atmosphere, it is possible that he will come across in a way that he will appear the victim of a handful of rabid vitriolic individuals

 

[Ganymede]

the problem is they've been asking him from day 1 to tell what he knows and to be fair he knows a lot that would interest them, the way I see it if they don't ask him then they would be perceived as not wanting to find out the whole truth, bit of damned if they do - damned if they don't....

Yeah but they can ask him without a camera on him. That would stymie the Armstrong PR.

Would it..... the meeting in the article was low key, no publicity and no real content, yet is making international news.

Yeah. I know. A girl can hope but there are always effin press releases, aren't there. *sigh*

Not if it's the UCI and a rider is banned.

Really sorry to bring this thread back to the top again (*runs away ducking*), but I only just got around to watching the film today. I agree with the OP about the coherent narrative etc.

Knowing most of the details beforehand I can say that the only eye-opener for me was Brunyeel's reaction to Contador's attack when Kloden got dropped. I remember Contador being asked afterwards whether he thought Brunyeel wanted him to win and replying "that's a good question." Easy to see why.

Oh and Armstrong getting Frankie to do all of the US 2009 interviews....jeez what a c***.

Do you think it'll blow the whistle on Hein or any of those who have still kept his faith: No chance. He needs to make money, so it's still bullshit.

He is a victim, a victim of being caught out!
