    Tom

    The hotel's icemakers must have been broken. Maybe he was delivering Dr.
    Pepper for the team staff.

    Seriously, one has to wonder what the Italian police know and what the PIs
    for CSA have come up with.

    This is France. Hotels usually don't have icemakers. You can't buy bags of
    ice anywhere. Almost all fridges sold don't come equiped with icemakers. If
    I can get the name of the guy with the blue box, I'd pay him to deliver ice.
    I have no trouble getting EPO, but ice is another matter.

    Dude, French hotels, at a minimum in their kitchens, have refrigerators with
    freezers and ice. The Italian police aren't tipping off the French drug
    squad about an ice delivery.

    From a photo of her exposed, it appears they will nicely fit under champaign

    One of the articles on the side bar goes over the newest comments on his
    webpage.

    http://www.procycling.com/news.aspx?ID=1572

    Despite what many feel is 'fair', if the UCI decides to downgrade his 99
    win, there's nothing anyone can do about it, is there?

    Sadly, I can see this might happen. Happily, it will still leave him with
    six wins; unhappily, his reputation will have suffered near-irreparable
    harm.

  9. Brian,

    What that article says is that the French Police and the private
    investigators staked out Armstrong and the Discovery Channel team for days
    during the tour AND TURNED UP NOTHING!

    What it says is that their stake out was compromised by a TV crew who were
    tipped off to it. Learn to read.

    You mean like when the UCI took away Brochard's World Championship,
    because he had tested positive, not to mention EPO usage on Festina.

    I'm not sure. I don't know enough of the Brochard incident to know if
    you're being sarcastic or if I'm missing a point. Can you clarify?

  13. Are you now saying that if the Italian police are watching you, you're
    guilty. Wow, some lawyer.

  14. and in your opinion, that makes Discovery guilty.

    Dude, you're off base here. It's a point of pride in many French
    restaurants that they don't even HAVE freezers. Everything fresh.

    Also, assuming there was EPO in that box, that's a completely ridiculous way
    to carry it.
    EPO does not need to be refrigerated if it is to be used within 7 days.

    Ah. OK. But their 'reputations' are somewhat less, uh, friable than LA's.

    Virenque was even more of a chou-chou to the French than Armstrong is to
    the Americans.

    Who said anything about EPO in the blue box. I would think either Dr.
    Pepper or autologous blood.
