    Owen,

    How exactly did Lance manage to 'play politics and, daily, spin a self-serving narrative through the media' when we did not even talk to the media and just posted daily videos?


    I'm neither pro nor anti Lance, but that's not how I remember it

    Any one know who Julian Sweet is?

    Apparantly Lance used to have a press conference daily where Phillipe Martens would play a precorded tape.

    He did do a few interviews and wasn't as bad as during the Giro though

    The Twit LA used Twitter and no press conference as I understand it.
    I have seen it somewhere that Versus (USA) along with the Eurosport "Planet Pharmstrong" got the Interviews at some cost and that enabled them to get through the Heavy Mob that kept the press away.

    You don't remember how he was able to "CON" the media into thinking he was the Astana Leader, when all the time he was only a Guest Rider.
    He did a real good job on you then.
