The real agenda is this. The Feds want to bring Lance in to blow dry
him. Novitsky thinks 1800 watts will make Lance sing.

You must talking about Sebastien Hinault. Cause the Badger would not
have done it like that; too showy. At the post-chaingate press
conference Bernie would've pointed out how lame it is to unship one's
chain, and pointed out that getting knocked off your bike a few Ks
from the finish line is no excuse not to win. Then, he'd say that
it's all academic anyway, because I'm going to win the TT by three
minutes. And then he'd win the stage by three minutes.
Further, how is it cool to stop short of the line after you have the
win cinched? There's no proof you were prepared to sacrifice the time
from the start.

Please tell us - which times?
The only people I've ever seen Hinault be "cruel" towards are
pantywaist commie protestors who dared to block him from doing his own
job, and I wouldn't consider that cruelty.

Any choice is optional. I've picked up a $100 bill and handed it to a
guy who never realized he dropped it. Would I do that every single
time? As you say, it's optional, but I'd like to think I would.

I'm not talking about 'realities'... the US sporting media/it's meta-
narrative on Armstrong as thee knight of his age in sports... this
macro-perception has a lot of 'investors' with respect to big time
sports journalists, etc... it's one thing to take down Barry Bonds or
Marion Jones, Lance Armstrong is a transcendent American sporting
figure with various forms of insulation... and I say this as a non-
American and NOT a fan of Lance Armstrong... so, taking him down via

Anton,
Lemond, like all legendary cyclists, is a fucked in the head insecure
asshole. Period. You have to be at that level. As soon as Lance
equaled Lemond in the TdF win category, Lemond started this shit and
not a minute before. You don't find it quesitonable that Lemond is
paying Landis' attorney's fees and that Landis has hired Lemond's old
law firm from the Trek lawsuit? If not, you are naive. Lemond gets
his money and without violating a confidentiality agreement gets to
try his claims against Armstrong again. And he gets to use Trek's
money to do it. Lemond in his eyes is the only cyclist who won
without doping. He should have won every TdF since he became pro.
It's all about V02 max, stupid. Didn't you know?

It's become a trashy spectacle. In the old days the fans weren't dressed
like Drag Queens or should I say undressed. It's pretty appalling the media
not only cover idiots running along side naked, but comment on it as well
like this is something to be part and parcel of the tour. I remember when
Indurain and Chiappucci used to climb through the masses reminding me of
something akin to the Red Sea parting every step of the way. Both the
spectacle of bike racing and the fans seemed to be pretty much in sink back
then without all the circus side show you see now. The Devil used to be the
acceptable rouge element, but he's been overshadowed now by every weirdo
under the sun who flock to the tour every year. The tour is turning into
Mardi Gras. Next, they will start throwing beads on the riders.

Why not? They already tap them on the ass as they pass, run along
side them screaming, flutter flags in their faces, etc,, etc. It's
actually pretty amazing that there aren't more incidents of the racers
being impeded (accidentally or otherwise).

Overshadowed by the rouge element and out of sink - what is the world
coming to?

I'm waiting for some guy to swing from a tree like Tarzan through the riders
and land on the Cameraman!
I noticed some people claim boredom, no matter if it's attack and defend, or
the old style Lance Trance. Perhaps we are too well entertained and wired in
compared to moderation from old days, or perhaps it's just the fatty masters
are bored. I'm wondering if the younger crowd are as fascinated as we were
many years ago, of if they too are bored now. Before the Internet, we combed
the TV Guide and taped whatever morsels we could get our hands on. We only
dreamed of seeing other classics in Europe, which are standard fare today on
cable or Dish. We bought whatever tapes we could get our hands on, which
weren't really many like a Sunday in Hell. Now we are flooded with all the
classics on TV and all you can eat on the internet. You got Youtube and
Twitter for instant gratification. We are overindulged.

So either FL and possibly now TH or LA are going to jail?
Maybe even LemonD?
Call me a dumbass, but I'm betting FL does some time.

Lemond isn't as looney as floyd; he'll just state his side of trek/ gl
bike thing, he 'll want to offer his opinion on LA doping and hearsay.
what else he knows about others is irrelevant. floyd on the other hand
perhaps as a result of drinking too frequently has made statements
that have holes in them- when the feds get back to him they will take
him apart, he will be charged and will end up in prison which would
also be to help him with his drinking problem
