Lance is a really, really good actor.

dumbass,

though lafferty and his ilk eat up macabre details like the makeup and
drug mule stories, the swart stuff is more damaging (though it's all
pre-1997 stuff) in my opinion.

just because a rider's doped in the past doesn't make them a liar.
often these guys get vindicated.

millar called gaumont a nut until ..., and virenque called voet and the
others liars until ...., but until someone caves or there's evidence
the effect the whistleblowers have is inconsistent.

zulle claimed massive doping at ONCE but not much came of it (the doc
got some heat), on the other hand though manzano did hurt kelme pretty
bad.

Just had a Timmy's today in fact, and heard the story behind Tim Horton's
entrepreneurial explosion. It would almost make you want to boycott them,
just like McStarbucks. It seems Horton's rascal best friend bought out
Timmy's widow for a mere million after Horton fell off the wagon and
committed hari kari. Then, said friend exploded the franchise onto the
Canadian landscape, leaving Mrs. Horton with a puzzled look and a small
suitcase. By the way, "right" and "hey" work just as well as "eh." Next
lesson: how to properly inflect "mmm hmmm."

Just another hoser.

**** happens. It depends somewhat on where in Canada you happen to be, eh?

Haven't gotten the date form the publisher yet. It's taking a long time to
compile all my rbr Lance posts, I guess.

I had no idea that I had ilk. And there are some very funny drug mule
stories as anyone who followed the then 5th Circut's decisions in the Agent
Marconi Atlanta Airport drug bust cases knows.

I agree with you that Swart is potentially very damaging, especially when
you combine it with Prentis Steffen's allegations as to Armstrong and
Hamilton. And with what has now happened to Tyler, it looks more and more
believable--Steffen and Walsh's book.

If you want bigger irony, it's also written on the floor at CIA

Ilk are what Australian tourists to Sweden see.

The interesting thing with Swart is...Jack Swart, his elder brother, is
a builder who employed Geoffrey Burndred...who finished runner-up to
Jeremy Yates in Taupo...who just got banned for 2 years for a suspicious
testosterone sample...and according to a Belgian contact, there's more
to THAT story than is currently public (see cyclingnews for details).
Anyway, Burndred wanted to make the leap to Europro (and he had the
potential to do it), but got disillusioned with the pressure to dope to
compete. There's a few others in the same boat.

And if we are talking about doping bans and hush-hush, who knew that the
G-man got a US domestic ban several years ago?
