Man, if Armstrong could just walk into a bar with a rabbi and a horse, I'd have you all in tears!
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

It's a long established comedic lament that rabbis don't ride horses.

Fun fact: Armstrong now has less Tour wins than testicles

What did the Rabbi say when he walked into the bar?
Oy.
The best part is you can take that joke multiple ways...

Fine, switch the horse with a rabbit and I might still be able to make it work.

There are those who say: "Lance is still a great champion", referring to the tour.
I agree, 34th in that first tour, what a champion. And those next two, where he gave up, brilliant. |

I'm clueless about those jokes above. 
Anyway, let's not only mock Spain. In France, L. Jalabert and Granny Longo have taken Armstrong's defence (plus some famous journalist - not even a sports journalist, mind you). |

Mr. Clean himself, Eddy Merckx, also defends Armstrong. The worst part is that he uses the "never tested positive" argument...

It's not Spain that's being mocked there are people everywhere defending him. Don't really know why, though. |

Actually his words have not been translated 100% clearly.
From a dutch article I had understood from Merckx that:
He doesn't say Armstrong was clean.
He says it's bad for the sport, that the tests serve no real purpose if they can be fucked with, and he thinks the sport needs to look to the future, without doping.
Anyway, he isn't saying Armstrong is a poor genius who is being fucked by his former teammates. That's what I found of his (Dutch) words anyway. |

Except that I would spell it 'Americanised' as I'm British, not American.  |

A friend of mine alerted me to an open letter from Greg LeMond. Has anyone else seen this as I can't find it anywhere else on the web, so I'm wondering if it's genuine or not:
Can anyone help me out? I know this sounds kind of lame but I am not well versed in social marketing. I would like to send a message to everyone that really loves cycling. I do not use twitter and do not have an organized way of getting some of my own "rage" out. I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history- resign Pat if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.
Pat McQuaid, you know dam well what has been going on in cycling, and if you want to deny it, then even more reasons why those who love cycling need to demand that you resign.
I have a file with what I believe is well documented proof that will exonerate Paul.
Pat in my opinion you and Hein are the corrupt part of the sport. I do not want to include everyone at the UCI because I believe that there are many, maybe most that work at the UCI that are dedicated to cycling, they do it out of the love of the sport, but you and your buddy Hein have destroyed the sport.
Pat, I thought you loved cycling? At one time you did and if you did love cycling please dig deep inside and remember that part of your life- allow cycling to grow and flourish- please! It is time to walk away. Walk away if you love cycling.
As a reminder I just want to point out that you recently you accused me of being the cause of USADA's investigation against Lance Armstrong. Why would you be inclined to go straight to me as the "cause"? Why shoot the messenger every time?
Every time you do this I get more and more entrenched. I was in your country over the last two weeks and I asked someone that knows you if you were someone that could be rehabilitated. His answer was very quick and it was not good for you. No was the answer, no, no , no!
The problem for sport is not drugs but corruption. You are the epitome of the word corruption.
You can read all about Webster's definition of corruption. If you want I can re-post my attorney's response to your letter where you threaten to sue me for calling the UCI corrupt. FYI I want to officially reiterate to you and Hien that in my opinion the two of your represent the essence of corruption.
I would encourage anyone that loves cycling to donate and support Paul in his fight against the Pat and Hein and the UCI. Skip lunch and donate the amount that you would have spent towards that Sunday buffet towards changing the sport of cycling.
I donated money for Paul's defense, and I am willing to donate a lot more, but I would like to use it to lobby for dramatic change in cycling. The sport does not need Pat McQuaid or Hein Verbruggen- if this sport is going to change it is now. Not next year, not down the road, now! Now or never!
People that really care about cycling have the power to change cycling- change it now by voicing your thought and donating money towards Paul Kimmage's defense, ( Paul, I want to encourage you to not spend the money that has been donated to your defense fund on defending yourself in Switzerland. In my case, a USA citizen, I could care less if I lost the UCI's bogus lawsuit. Use the money to lobby for real change).
If people really want to clean the sport of cycling up all you have to do is put your money where your mouth is.
Don't buy a USA Cycling license. Give up racing for a year, just long enough to put the UCI and USA cycling out of business. We can then start from scratch and let the real lovers in cycling direct where and how the sport of cycling will go.
Please make a difference.
Greg |

It does indeed. It's on CN this morning.

I like the old Lemon more and more. His last paragraph is particularly on the mark, in my view. McQuaid is a large part of the problem, so far as any administrative individual can be. He should be kicked back to the Ivory Coast, where he maybe remains popular.
It was eleven more than necessary.
