    hmm...that's why the lawyer's along...UCI dont accept that there are any findings of blood doping 09-10...

    cos it was all about pre-06 innit :roll:
  • and he doesnt accept that the USADA report implicates Verbruggen in any wrongdoings

    Hein's still on the gravy train

    Will enjoy my ride even more on that news. The earthquakes epicentre has been officially located and ratified. Let's start the rebuild.
  • Philippe Verbiest, the UCI lawyer, in answer to a question about Landis's statements in the report and the UCI's decision to sue him previously. "The only problem UCI had with Floyd Landis was him saying the positive test had been covered up. There was no positive test," says Verbiest.

    pffff...

    ooh massive swipe by Fat Pat at Ashenden there...

    'Instead of sitting on the fence and shouting out advice on how we should we do things, he'd be better served in a laboratory helping us develop a test for riders taking blood transfusions' (or along those lines)

    and now he's quoting JFK :shock:

    Quoting Kennedy, who was generally considered a good man...

    If Kennedy was around he wouldn't be quoting anything Pat has ever said, that's for f******g sure.

    ...yes, and he forgot to say 'but behind closed doors where we can stipulate he keeps his mouth shut'

    Huzzah!
  • the UCI press pack handed around cites Armstrong as being tested 218 times...

    bit different from +500, eh, Pat and Hein??
  • pressing ahead with the Kimmage lawsuit

    Denial that there was any buy off re tests. There were no failed tests is gist of it from FP.

    Also no link between current situation and action against Paul Kimmage. PK case straight forward defamation.
  • Order of leaving Armstrong's sinking ship:
    Hein and Pat, sponsors, women and children.
    I went out, came back and it's all over.

  • so if armstrong admits his doping past he can keep his TDF titles just like Riis??

    WTF??
