Giro alters Mountain Stage to Exclude France; Now AFLD may sanction LA - Page 2

Message 3 : you're asking, would he duck an event?
The answer to which is yes - he bottled out of Sydney Olympics 2004.

HaHa, The King of Spin exposed.

You exposed yourself by posting message 3 - and compounded it by trying to justify yourself subsequently.

Come on Lim. Admit it. You got busted spinning. Just admit it and it will all be over.

Nothing to admit, mon ami.

You made a statement in message 3.
Sydney Olympics 2004, contradicted your statement.

Case closed.
Some advice, if you're going to post here, check your facts before doing so.

HaHa, you dont get off that light. Since you wont admit it like a man I will post so everyone can see. Spinning 101, as seen below.

You made a statement in message 3.

That statement was contradicted by Sydney Olympics 2004.

Unless of course, you're now trying to suggest that Armstrong raced in Sydney in 2004?

All I am suggesting is that you are very good at spinning what people say. You got busted spinning posts in this thread and you are not man enough or to hardheaded to admit.

give it up bluetrain. lim's got the bead on this issue. armstrong's entire career was keeping clear of the historical calendar so he could concentrate on Tour de France. sort of always struck me as lance ducking as many unnecessary in competition drug tests. and remember, back then they didn't test as often ooc.

Not even close. And you are entitled to your opinion, just as Lim is. I only take issue with ASSumptions and Spinning posts, which is what Lim threw out.

Not even close?
As soon as you posted here, you were caught out (again).

Trying to retract your statement in message 3 with subsequent posts, is spinning Bluetrain.

Like several others have said, your man has a history of, as you put it, ducking.
Sydney Olympics 2004, being just one example.

HUH??
How am I trying to retract Post #3? I asked Hawkeye a question, not a statement. You butted in and said LA ducked Sydney 2004 because of the drug testing he would receive. I asked you if he told you this personnally because this would be the only way you could prove that was the reason why he didnt go to Sydney 2004.

Butted in?
If you post disinformation here, expect to be challenged and proven wrong.

You said that your man did not duck events, in message 3.
He bottled out of Sydney Olympics 2004.

Wow, you are a mine of information aren't you. I'm pretty sure that he bottled out of riding in Sydney during the 2004 Olympics because the 2004 summer games were held in Athens...

Just sayin' being that you're always such a stickler for the truth and technical accuracy.

Next you'll be saying that the 2004 games really were in Sydney and it was a massive world wide mind**** by **** Pound and WADA paid for by Lance.

An EPO test using blood and urine was introduced for the Sydney Olympics and accepted by the IOC. Armstrong won bronze in the time trial (and therefore tested) but only managed 13th in the road race, something to do with just recovering from a broken vertibrae in his neck.

Sounds he had not switched to transfusions yet.
