Wow!! This is like fifth hand information! And, it’s 14 years old!!!!
Cheaters prosper.
Hearsay.
More Lance drugth doo-wa.
Dr./Patient privilege!
Inadmissible!
Armstrong is the White Whale to Lemond’s Ahab. It’s been driving Greg insane for years.
Oh my, there’s possibly doping in cycling?
Who’d have known?
Who’d have cared?
However, what I found funny was this:
McIlvain responded: "If I was subpoenaed, I would. ... I'm not going to lie. ... I was in that room.
Coupled with this: In a 2005 Texas civil case deposition, McIlvain denied ever hearing Armstrong make an admission of using performance-enhancing drugs or doping.
Since the tape was made in 2004, and the deposition was made in 2005, either McIlvain lied to Lemond, or she lied to Lemond, on that tape. Because she said both that she heard Armstrong, and that she would not LIE if she was called to testify.
But the next year when called to testify, she said she didn't hear him. So either "I heard Armstrong" was a lie, or "I won't lie" was a lie.
On the other hand, maybe Armstrong DID talk about performance-enhancing drugs. There are drugs that enhance your performance but that were not illegal in 1996; Also, he might have been ASKED about them, and talked about how different ones could effect his cancer-treatment, without saying he actually USED them.
Or, maybe he had actually USED them at some point before his cancer treatment, in which case his insistance that he NEVER used them would be a lie, but would hardly make a difference unless he used them after his cancer treatment.
*Yawn*
He won all his Tours after his cancer treatments.
Also, didn’t the cancer treatment itself involve using drugs that are normally considered performance-enhancing? In which case the discussion could well have been about what types of drugs were being used, and whether they would disqualify him from racing.
Old: We beat the Russians to the moon because our German rocket scientists were better than their German rocket scientists.
New: My favorite athlete won because he had better drugs than your favorite athlete.
Does anybody really respect athletics any more?
Really?
This is old news - old as in Frankie Andrieu’s wife told this story a long time ago. It is known. It was in 2006 and Lance was discussing his post cancer treatment with EPO and steroids with the doctors who proscribed the treatment. All the cycling entities and WADA have known about this for a long time. It means nothing.
uh hearsay
setup
they’re gonna have to do better than that
Somehow I just don’t care.
Under the Blago Rule he can just say he was talking crap...
I’m sick of all this nonsense. Jealousy, stupidity, and third hand testimony from unreliable sources. Lance Armstrong was a great competitor, an admirable man. Greg LeMond is a jerk.
Mention Greg LeMond and you know which end of the horse it’s coming from.
Armstrong cannot compete in France because the last time he was there, he was caught with 3 illegal substances: shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste.
