FRENCH OFFER ARMSTRONG A RE-TEST OF HIS 1999 TOUR SAMPLES

Wednesday 1st October 2008 - By Cycling Weekly



The French Anti-Doping Authority (AFLD) has offered Lance Armstrong a chance to retest his urine samples from the 1999 Tour - which, according to French newspaper L'Equipe allegedly contained traces of EPO.

“Mr. Armstrong is a great champion,” AFLD boss Pierre Bordry told French newspaper L'Equipe on Wednesday, “Everybody can understand how someone like him would want to come back to the Tour again."

"I would like that comeback to be in the best possible conditions, so I would suggest that we do a complete analysis of the six urine samples taken in the 1999 Tour.That would perhaps give him the chance to affirm he never cheated during his brilliant career.”

L'Equipe alleged back in 2005 that the 1999 samples, taken during the first of Armstrong's seven Tours victories, contained traces of EPO. Armstrong has always categorically denied all allegations of doping.

Bordry added that the Paris laboratory which had carried out the testing had confirmed to him that Armstrong's samples had been conserved in the correct conditions, and that if Armstrong wished the new tests would be carried out in the presence of an expert nominated by the Texan.

He even said that if necessary the tests could be carried out in another WADA-accredited laboratory, not the one in Paris which produced the alleged positives.

Following the French offer, the ball is now in Armstrong's court, although there was no immediate reaction from the American and his staff.

White Boy Trash's middle name is Boy. Depending on the context Boy can be racialist. Also, as white trash I find his name highly racialistically offensive. IMO he is probably a black supremisist

Ironically this is the only post of racist reason in a thread filled with racist tap dancing...

I do love the way everyone tries to out No Positives for being racist. And Lim? You're "monitoring" No Positive's posts because YOU think he/she is racist? That's pathetic at best.

Far be it for me to stand up for No Positives but the only ones who raised the racist card in the first place and are happily throwing the racist stones around are those of you with fingers staunchly out yelling "racist racist".

For the record I'm a white male living in South Africa so you can all write me off as a racist too I guess. I take it you will be "closely motioring" my posts from now on Lim???

Me ironical? My missus does all the ironing at my house.

No Positives is still a racist **** though. I have no opinion on your racialistism or how many black babies you may or may not have eaten under apartheid one way or another.

See now that's how I like my racist accusations - right in the jugular!

12. The answer is 12. Instead of going to US route and paying for Indian left ears and leaving all the useful flesh behind we ate our race based targets..

@Geoff - sadly in the near future I might be a Protea Turdburglar. It would appear the Springbok is an emblem of the previous regime's racist outlook on life... The mighty Proteas??? That's like making the All Blacks do the haka in tutu's and ballet shoes.

Dont worry your crowds will still spit on us and call us white ****s. I think we called your guys black ****s when you were here last. Ahhhhhh SA vs AUS - real men, real sport, real racism.

Ah and that's how it should be - none of this overly sensitive bollocks where we have to call ****er balls black balls and cooly creepers...what the hell do we call a cooly creeper these days anyway?

Sure those two are bad examples but holy canoly I'm tired of political correctness - it seems Halloween is under threat now because dressing up as a witch is demeaning to those that actually believe in them. What's next - somebody forcing me not to shave my head because I could be a nazi?

If you were truly racialist you'd refuse to eat black babies. You'd get the servants to skin them first.

The use of a persons middle name initial (letter) and/or middle name, is used to draw a clear distinction between the identity of two people with similar names.
Given that there is only one presidential candidate named Barack Obama, no such distinction is required to be made on this site.

But we'll give No Positives the opportunity to address that issue.

Who's calling you racist?

Oi! Stop ruining my street cred! How am I supposed to maintain my hard core reputation as a black hating, woman bashing, homosexual beating white supremacist with all your logic flying about?

Ok let me ask you this straight out. Do you think No Positives is racist becase he/she used Barack's middle name?

No-one called me racist but my opinion is that you and Frigo are looking for reasons to label No Positives negatively and happily jumped on the "use of Barack's middle name means you're a racist" bandwagon.

And while I'm at it your "I'll be watching. Understood?" smacks of Admin bullying.

Right. Pettiness over from my side.

Roll on someone testing positive so we can have soemthing else to talk about.

Obama made a very good and humorous comment about being given his middle name and running for president.
It seem he doesn't have a problem with his name.

As more than likely one of the very few Americans of African descent participating on this website, let me give my unqualified opinion that this discussion is getting VERY old already. No Positives knew his intent wrt Hussein Obama, regardless of the ad nausem discussion/speculation that has followed.

Are there racists that contribute on this site? Absolutely. Are they going to readily admit to such? Of course not...I know, I know - NOW every racist is going to 'fess up...
Can the bashing of LA continue???? That's soooo much more policitcally correct...

Hey! There will be no tolerance for the truth here! Only speculation, conjecture, rhetoric, and downright lying on this thread!!! Where's your brain, man!!!
