    He will tweet something controversial about whatever is in the headlines just to get himself some publicity. The guy is a master scumbag.

    Sweet Mother of Mercy, I may have to do an abrupt volte face on LA for fear of being in agreement with Piers.
    Thats an unholy bloody choice.

    all that said and done, imagine the ratings if he did interview LA. It would be a fantastic show and very, VERY interesting. But never to happen, cantr imagine Lance goping near a TV studio for a while.

    I bet LA funds a movie that depicts himself as an innocent do-gooder, hard grafting cyclist from a working class background living his dream who is un-wittingly dragged into the seedy side of cycling by media pressure (from France) who was ultimately made a scape goat because of jealous media rats (from France) who after retiring, even as he tried to rid the World of cancer single handedly, sought to bring him down through jealous rantings in the media (from France).

    Takes one to know one and all that.
    I think he's also happy to join in and not be the The Man They Love To Hate for once.

    LMAO!

    Piers is such a little sod! That's funny. I'd rather see Armstrong grilled by Paxman though - interview of the Century! :mrgreen:

    Can't quite get on board with this Floyd as victim thing that Race Radio, among others, is pushing.

    For me it means he's going ruin next years tour because I will have no confidence he knows anything about what he's talking about.

    You've listened to him commentate on a race in the last 20 years without that already happening?? :shock:

    Suits the narrative, doesnt it. Forget about the Fairness Fund where he was basically conning people.

    Yeah.

    The Yanks need to be whipped into line about a few things. They were fawning over that radio journo who cornerned Lance's lawyer the other day. I guess they're not to know he's a massive johnson.

    At least Landis and Hamilton are making steps towards making amends.

    I liked Hamliton when I was a teenager and mocked him in person at the Tour of Britain when he came back with Rock Racing ("Hey Tyler, where's your brother?" - hardly original but he didn't like it), and have improved my opinion of him slightly post book.

    Floyd I never liked and never will. Ugly on and off the bike. The fund was bad enough for capitalising on the guilible, but the Lemond thing took things over the edge and off the cliff for me. I can forgive a doper, but that shows an entirely different character trait. No wonder Lance liked him.

    If I had a shotgun and was down to my last cartridge, with Armstrong and Morgan in front of me, there's no doubt the barrel would be aimed squarely at Morgan's face.

    I think I'd shoot Armstrong. I could club Piers with the butt end. I fancy Lance would be harder.

    Any more interesting ways to bring about the demise of the pair of them?

    I propose making them ride a tandem on a shark infested ocean floor wearing fish guts around their necks.

    If I had two cartridges I'd shoot Morgan twice to be on the safe side. Always double tap.

    Seriously, I think the only way Armstrong can be killed off is a stake through the heart. As opposed to a steak (sorry FF)

    Rick this just makes us look so naieve. OK, it could be a guy in a suit off out for a picnic, to me its blatant. You know what? In F1, cars go into parc ferme during race weekend at certain times to ensure no unfair gains. How hard would it be to have riders stay in 'clean' hotels? Visits are monitored, food controls etc. Lets be honest, during the tour it would not be hard to achieve this

    And he chose to bring it to light now? And not go to the UCI then?

    Lots of people lacking balls in this sport.

    This 'affair' will one day be written up into the most extraordinary read. I reckon there will be dozens of these to come over the coming weeks. The UCI, ASO, all of them have to comment and no way can they claim they did not know.

    as there is no drug on the planet that can make a man achieve what @lancearmstrong achieved.

    Jens Voigt has had a few ppl question him directly and he is starting to get pissed off.

    No word from Graham tWatson?
    He was always a Lance-lover with a big mouth and access to a motorbike. He must have some good hi-deffo pictures in his scrap book. :twisted:

    He's getting hacked off because he's already stated (last week) that he hasnt doped. He hasnt avoided the issue, but you can see why he's getting hacked off if you look at his timeline. Doesnt mean to say that everyone has to believe him but...he hasnt avoided it.

    That pic has been around for a while. It's a bloke in a suit with an oversized ice box, in a lobby.
    Not much the UCI are gonna do about that.

    Are you kidding? The UCI has failed to run a basic testing regime, with advance notice, people walking past testers with bags of saline.
