    I would assume that Lance used EPO, or similiar drug, while undergoing
    chemotherapy. If that were the case, for how long would the EPO treatment
    last ?

    Until he was no longer anemic and his body was able to create red blood
    cells without the aid of EPO injections. Then they would stop the treatment.

    Remember, the EPO urine test is only good for approx 3 or 4 days after
    injection. So, the notion that Armstrong tested positive because he
    was prescribed EPO post chemo does not hold water. Additionally, the
    use of EPO post chemo (circa 1997?) would not provide any performance
    benefit in 1999.

    Why ASSUME? It is fact. Common knowledge.

    What is not fact is that Lance took EPO as a racing performance
    enhancement. Just French dirty play.

    Putting aside the use of a trite cliché as an attempt at humor,
    Armstrong is going to the "hall of fame," and he will be
    remembered long after most all of his detractors are dead,
    buried, and forgotten.

    I know you have a picture of Lafferty but I'm wondering if you have
    one of him standing on the side of the road in France in '99 handing a
    bottle of "water" to Armstrong?

    I'm figuring this is the only way he could be THIS sure.
