Armstrong used EPO in 99?

So I don't get it. They tested a 7-year-old urine sample to determine that it had trace amounts of EPO?
Why were they keeping a 7-year-old urine sample around?
What's the integrity of testing a 7-year-old urine sample?

I have a feeling this is going to be difficult to substantiate ...

It says on his website that there will be no recourse from this because L'equipe admits the science is faulty.

I wonder how long piss stays good???

Tjaah......I just read NOS and the lab director said ''no doubt he's positive but because it's an experimental test we can't do a follow-up test and he thus walks'' (rough translation).

But the WADA however can do something..........

WOOOW the shit is really hitting the fan I'm reading sporza and some big people in cycling are speaking up.........damn too bad not a lot people can read dutch on this forum.

Oke some interesting quotes from some people then:

Cofidis manager eric boyer: Is wondering if 'LA will tell everything now' OR 'will he just hire a whole peloton advocates....'

'You look at the tour and watch his demarrages and his arrogance. And then you discover it's all a lie, possible the biggest in 7 years. How believeble is he still?? (sorry for bad translation)

'I surely would like to know which doctors are responsible for this. Who are those bastards? I find it sad that the media discovered this and not the UCI'

Daniel Baal (ex-voorzitter of the french cycling union and he's now working for the UCI): 'The myth doesn't exist anymore. The lie is clear. I know that a lot of people don't want to critize LA and alway support him, but know you can't deny anymore......'

Strong words indeed.........

MJtje

Sporza is constantly updating......they have a video on of Renno Roelandt (WADA): he says that LA IS positive....and that the french labo have done there work perfectly! And he said that the french even concluded that he gone 3 times for a cure for the 6 mountain stages.........

Reaction Leblanc: 'I'm being carefull (with his reaction), but this is alarming! I feel disillusioned, like many sportfans. Do I feel left alone by lance armstrong? Yes!'

Reaction Merckx: 'It is all sensational: he always told me that he never doped. If I had to chose between a newspaper and LA, then I chose for the information LA gives me! He should need to get the chance to defend himself'

Gee, why would a sports team manager jump on the bandwagon so fast?
And From Cofidis?
Lance and Cofidis are such good friends...

MJtje

I'm just saying what sporza is quoting no more no less........but youre right LA and cofidis are no friends....

Ullefan

Hein Verbruggen, president of cycling's governing body, the International Cycling Union (UCI), said: "We have to wait and see if this is true.

"Only then will we be able to ask ourselves whether there should be any legal action and whether this is a further blow for cycling. "I have to say this is not pleasant but, for the moment, it only involves Lance Armstrong and France."

whiteboytrash

Yes musette is prowling the Disco websites and cannot find any good news.... :-)

I wonder what Jan's and Basso's reaction will be......... ?

Bjørn P.Dal
