Hincapie better be rehearsing something a bit more convincing than his "I'm a nice guy" schtick then.
Oh to be privy to any conversations between him and LA in the peleton today.

The investigation into the blood-doping equipment linked to Armstrong's Astana team during last year's race is also still ongoing.

If you think that's bad, you should hear the Andy Rihs interview on the cyclingnews podcast from the Tour. I think I felt less uncomfortable when I had to have my nuts checked during a medical.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -

Back to the 1980's then.
When the Iron Curtain countries and their Grotesque women caused the standard Athletics check to see if they had nuts or a :roll:

And Equipe of course - oh and the Sunday Times, Credibility means so much to Team Armstrong that they must constantly fight to ruin the credibility of others - maybe it's some kind of credibilitytop trumps game they have going on 0

nothing new in that article to be honest. This story will prob die a death for awhile until after the tour and then it will be a few months maybe even a year before the investigation is finished.
Didn't BALCO take about a year ?0 -

I think you're right. Anything that comes of this will come from the Feds and they won't be in any great hurry.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Rather, it is designed to potentially bring charges against any team leaders and team directors who may have facilitated or encouraged doping by their riders.
ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME! It's been pissing me off that 100's of riders get popped for doping and all those DS'/managers had no idea, nope, they were all law abiding. What crap. They were/are just as complicit.0 -

Don't you think it's significant that both Hamilton and Hincapie have confirmed that they have been asked for an interview?
This is getting larger by the day, the link Iain posted above this post suggest claims of tax evasion and conspiracy to do so by Jim Ochowicz. Then Verbruggen wades in and shows everyone what a piece of work he is. :roll:0 -
He is also life honorary president of the UCI. His puppet, Pat McQuaid, is merely the president elect.disgruntledgoat wrote:

Given that this whole story has stemmed from leaked emails you'd think you'd consider the consequences of emailing Landis before you sent the mail, no?

perhaps they are fake?
if not it just indicates to me a lot of guys suffering from twisted hubris..."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

The Landis emails are fake?
If that was the case, would Landis not come out and defend himself as "clean", since the emails implicate him and go against his original defence?
I doubt they are fake, as both Bruyneel and Armstrong mentioned Landis' constant hassling of them prior to the emails being sent.The most painful climb in Northern Ireland http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs200.snc1/6776_124247198694_548863694_2335754_8016178_n.jpg0 -

Yet more Armstrong revisionism. Clearly, the panic is setting in...andyp wrote:Armstrong denies he had any stake in Tailwind Sports;

Where Armstrong goes from here is anyone's guess. He'll remain heavily involved in cycling, as he is co-owner of Tailwind Sports, the outfit that owns and runs the Discovery Team he currently leads, and his contract with Trek runs through 2010.

Coyle: If there’s anybody he watches closer than his rivals, it’s his teammates. Especially since Armstrong is part-owner of Tailwind Sports, the for-profit company that manages the team—he is literally paying their salaries. Like a good boss, Armstrong is a great motivator and rewards those who do good work. But as his teammates know all too well, if they don’t do their job, they’re out. Dead Man’s Rules, they call it. Friendship comes second—and they all know it. As his ex-teammate Floyd Landis says, everyone is a scared of Lance. If you’re not, you haven’t been paying attention.

He claimed a small ownership stake in his testimony, under oath, in the SCA case;

I've got to admit BB that you are really pouring it on these days. You must sense that you have him on the ropes, so to speak, and are going with the hard body shots. I haven't been following ALL of the items and postings related to all of this, but it does seem to be coming to a climax. Then again the whole thing could fizzle out like an uncapped bottle of beer. Whatever happens, I really do hope that most people aren't heavily investing, emotionally, in the outcome either way. Although I'm thinking that many are. Supporters and detractors alike.0 -
