Still Blindly Defending him Hora?

“pro” just means you get paid. There are plently of amateurs out there that perform a lot better than many pros and are successful in their chosen profession too.

i did read it and it talks about how they decide it says nothing about the LA case.
I fell I have earned the T-shirt now as i had to dig deep to finish it

chapeau to you sir!

What have you achieved in life, Mr Smith? And how many of your 2nd wanabees would have run rings around Armstrong on the same doping protocols, but had the integrity to say “no” to dope.

i won the flower show calligraphy competition age 13 and in the same year i won the air-rifle comp (against the adults too),
that’s got to be up there with a tour-giro double?

so lance tries a restraining order so he can have his day in court with some legal muscle and where the burden of proof is higher.

case dismissed, judge pissed at 80page complaint

I did like the fact the judge made a point of saying the document read like a press release not a court filing.

Oh dear

Basically, USADA are saying there was organised doping within US Postal, as they have banned the 3 doctors involved in US Postal for life.

So, organised doping within Lance’s team, and he didn’t know about it, when he was team leader? really?

It’s our word against his word. I like our word. We like our credibility

US District Judge Sam Sparks said the original lawsuit seemed more of an attempt to win over public opinion than to focus on legal argument.

“This court is not inclined to indulge Armstrong’s desire for publicity, self-aggrandisement or vilification of defendants, by sifting through 80 mostly unnecessary pages in search of the few kernels of factual material relevant to his claims,” Sparks wrote on Monday.

Here we go again…..

Menthe à l’eau avec des glaçons?

An interesting comment after Rémy got arrested yesterday. Roughly translated from TF1:

“it’s a waste of time testing athletes, the only way to catch them is flagrant délit (caught in the act), the gendarmes have been following him since the Tour 2011 and were waitng for him on the car park of the hotel when he met the dealer. The products they are using can’t be detected”.

Edit: for the non-francophones, Erwann Menthéour was a racer that wrote a book on the Britany racing mafia/dope scene, his nickname was “mente à l’eau”.
