Was there ever an OLN recap special for the TDF?

[Jean S. Barto]

Hi folks--

Was there ever an OLN TDF recap special? As I recall, there was supposed to
be one on July 30th, but Floyd's problems had already surface by then, and I
think it didn't air. Has there been anything on since? Although I get OLN
on my cable, the show lineup on some channels via my TiVo can be inaccurate
at times--I have found this to be an issue before with OLN.

Perhaps something was on in the last few days, and I never saw it? Or, OLN
pulled it for the moment?

Just wondering--

No. the OLN website messageboard has a number of posts from people
complaining about OLN pulling the promised show. no one is impressed.

On the contrary, it's a perfect opportunity for them to step up to the plate
about he issue of doping. They're candyasses.

Of course they're candyasses. But if they did, Bobke would be under
pressure to tell what he knows. And what would they do with Frankie for
color commentary? "Here's a testosterone patch. You put it on your scrotum
like this............."

phil and the gang probabally produced the segment under contract before
the story broke; they, having done the work, asked for more money to
produce a revised segment which natually was declined by oln. oln has
been very quiet about the entire issue- so you have to suspect their
involvement in pulling it. just a guess.

They're just waiting for the final results.

So I guess we can expect that to **possibly** air just before next years
tour. But maybe not until before the 2008 tour.
