I know I'm late to the party but by God are Spain collectively off on one? Ok so perhaps the comments of Sanchez, Valverde, Indurain and Contador shouldn't really surprise me but it pushes the boundaries of ignorance and denial to a whole new level.
In opposition I was pleased to see Marcel Kittel (and yes I know...) going public on Twitter to denounce it all:
"I feel SICK when I read that Contador, Sanchez & Indurain still support Armstrong. How does someone want to be credible by saying that?!"
More riders to take the plunge and follow that example please! |

Oh, that was me. Just keeping you all awake.
It was eleven more than necessary.

It's Lance himself. Who else believe he was clean?
How hard can it be?

I think that no matter what is said there will always be people that say that he was clean. When the "Removed Titles" news were spread, on the portuguese sportspapers websites everyone was supportin Lance. There will always be some people to do that and nothing can be done to change that imo... |

And what's your argument ?
Strictly-speaking I'd vote "no" too, because it's not in the light of the recent events that I have made my convictions about him... |

Then why do you keep claiming that you see the truth?

Convoluted but I found it interesting and I think the source is legit (as in it really is Ashenden).

Far be it for me to speak for the Count (predictably: here goes anyway) but I believe he's asking how:
A. you can claim to 'see the truth' and then also
B. state you would 'still vote no' on this poll, assuming that such a vote is a statement of belief that LA did not in fact dope (rather than your not being convinced by only recent events but instead on more distant history).
Obviously, many would find this logically rather contradictory.
It was eleven more than necessary.

Pretty much what I mean is that over the course of this and similar threads you have slowly but surely been convinced by the various arguments put forth. And yet after all that you still claim that he didn't.
Of course u could be confusing you with other fans if Lance.

For the time being the Kimmage lawsuit has been suspended by the UCI.
Thank god. |

No new Tour winners. UCI wants their prize money back and has promised to investigate the stuff Mrs. LeMond said.

Well, it was to be expected.
First Armstrong pays them to shut up about his doping.
Therefor he wins the Tour.
Years later they ask their money back.
I resent that, they didn't live up to their end of the bargain, I think they should give him his money back |

Good luck getting that money back. He will have hiddeen it in livestrong accounts. And whatever your opinions of that charity (and mine are pretty poor) its going to look really bad. |

Maybe we should change the name of the title
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"
