Some interesting extracts from the Schmidt piece
"Armstrong did gain an interest in Tailwind sometime in 2004, after the Tour, according to testimony in a lawsuit that Armstrong and Tailwind brought against SCA Promotions, an insurance company that was seeking to withhold a bonus from Armstrong because of doping allegations"
So how can he now claim that he had no hand/act/part in Tailwind?
If in a court of law regarding the insurance company SCA, he told them he was a shareholder why is claiming differently now?
Was there lies told in the insurance case?
If SCA are still in business no doubt they would be interested.
And what about this :
"Although Weisel founded the team, Stapleton’s company, Capital Sports & Entertainment, managed it from the “winter, spring ’03, ’04,” according to Stapleton’s testimony in the SCA insurance case. That company also received an 11 ½ percent interest in Tailwind, Stapleton testified.
Armstrong said neither he nor Stapleton’s company gained equity in the team until 2007. His personal lawyer, Tim Herman, said in a statement Wednesday that Armstrong received his first shares of common stock of Tailwind in December 2007"
As I said when these doping rings are busted, the participants run ofr covering while accusing each other of wrong doing.
