The new improved Lance Armstrong discussion thread.*

The other ones are in better taste. I'm not sure mentioning the testical deficiency is a good line to take.

Yes, we should rise above that sort of thing.

Nah, bollocks.

Nah, bollocks.

That's one too many surely?

I would suggest that if PK was to inherit anything he would have had to share the hurt when ST lost and he didn't so on the books journo for my assessment.

On Walsh v Roche it is the same as most are referring to, I am assuming? The test advised as positive then advised as not positive based on the doping controls in place. Walsh condemned him and refused to change his stance resulting in the fall out which was poor show after their previous excellent relationship.
If you are wrong you suck it up unless you are Walsh and basically ruins a good relationship for ego.

Walsh on Armstrong I have no issues.

That doesn' t really qualify as scientific evidence that he wasn't doping though, is it?

Walsh was more concerned at Roche's adherence to the omerta than nailing him for doping himself. Did you watch the clip, or at least the start?

The clip is part of the issue but not all of it. WRT your first comment try arguing his guilt then try versing it and argue his innocence! Walsh had info 'someone told him was right' and he attacked his friend with it without a call to discuss. Scum journo at best. How dud it all work out for him by the way?

 

[ufkacbln]

A long time ago, yes. Things caught up with him a little later. Mind there was a lot of **** taking in the peloton....

I think that is the way the tests work

 

[smutchin]

Mind there was a lot of **** taking in the peloton....

Not always their own, from the sound of it.

I'm not unhappy about the result, but maybe they have a point?

Michael Ashendon on the cyclismas website talks about that test in Switzerland.

This arguement is going to test the forensic skills of the lawyers on the enquiry - their conclusions will be interesting.

Chhers Thom, another interesting piece from Ashenden.
How much access the commisiion get to the old letters, emails, confidential files and bank statements will be critical.
