Every rider who was on Armstrong's team (not his TDF team) is now saying: I knew nothing about it  (maybe they didn't, who knows) |

The only way to convince those people is to have Armstrong injecting himself with a needle right infront of them.
Edit: Let me just say that the "EPO-song" is actually quite funny!
"EPO all in my veins
Lately tings just don't seem the same
Acting funny, but I don't know why

There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Even then those people wouldn't give in. They are bond to a belief that has no justification whatsoever, so they aren't able to be reasoned with logic. They would just say someone forced him to it...
What about Yates? Does anyone buy his story? I find it hard to believe, that a team like USP would hire a guy "just to drive the car and make up the team tactics" without any other connection to the riders

Do I believe that Yates knew nothing about the doping? No.
Do I believe that Bruyneel and Armstrong could hire someone and hide everything they're doing from him? God, yes! |

Matt White follows Bruyneel's footsteps, by leaving his role at GreenEDGE.

My guess is that White will be back. He's well respected, had a successful first year, and is no more culpable than Zabriskie, VDV, Levi, or Danielson. |

Scott Mercier's US Postal story on the BBC today - interesting read: https://www.bbc.co...g/19930514
It was eleven more than necessary.

Its Barton, so yeah, its C you next Tuesday XD
EDIT: Bah, ninja'd
Tbh, i kinda like Barton when his not being an idiot and hitting people. He has very interesting views on alot of things. Kinda prefer mental people with opinions then boring people that no comment everything and are just robots.
Personally my opinion of Armstrong as a cyclist doesnt really change a great deal. Obviously he was still an remarkable gifted athelete. By most of what i read, PEDs end up boosting you about 5-10%. You still need something there to boost. I could boost up with EPO and some stored blood and ride the TdF and you could pretty safely bet on me not finishing day 1 (Or.. day 2 if day one is a prologue. Pretty sure I'm not THAT unfit XD)
My problem with him as a human being. I've always been ambivilent about Charity tbh and I dont put alot of weight on it. Giving to charity doesnt make you a better person in my eyes. Its basically an attempt to buy good favour. Especially when you choose to plaster your name all over it.
What makes me really dislike him is the fact he been so forceful in his denials. Sure, if asked, you will deny it because its illegal. Thats one things. Its the chasing down and destroying of people who ultimately have done nothing wrong is merely telling the truth. The rules are the rules, and if you choose to break them, you take your punishment. Sure, try and be smart and dodge tests, hell even bribe the UCI if its corrupt enough to accept payments.
But if someone tells the truth on what happens, then thats your fault for letting too many people know.
I'm actually at the point with Lance that i dont even care about the titles. Thats irrevelant. I just hope the American Goverment will now get involved and send him down because of the amount of just plain illegal things his does.

This is Joey Barton - he reads books with words and pictures.
To be fair, he makes some good points. Still not likeable though.
