"Größter Schwindel der Sportgeschichte"

Just one more sign that the people involved in anti-doping will get further by a careful prudent approach than by running their mouths and making wild accusations to see which stick. These people have got to start acting like grown-ups. Ron |

Lafferty" wrote: Franke's statement "just went a little too far," the judge said, noting that "This deals with the way it was said, not the content," according to the German press agency dpa." And we do know that Jan's blood was with Dr. Fuentes. Right. So there were a jillion bad things about Jan in the documents, but Franke _still_ either made something up, or (more charitably) misinterpreted a language that he couldn't read, which he only later grudgingly admitted! And now he's calling Contador the "greatest swindle"? The man has gall. He's on a quest for the greatest PR. Ben Let me add this link again and see how Mr. Franke exaggerates on the facts to weaken his point. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1873402/posts I take the following relevant extract: [ Extract] The initials of what appear to be all members of the Liberty Seguros team are listed, including one identified as 'AC'. The programme for AC is listed,in Spanish, as 'nothing or the same as JJ'. And JJ's plans for 2005 were to 'always have I-2'. It is, of course, possible that AC was given 'nothing' throughout his programme and so breached no rules. But Professor Werner Franke, a hugely respected anti-doping expert who has advised the German authorities in their current investigations and who is familiar with the Operation Puerto documents, said: "The team had different programmes at different times. So at certain times AC had to be given the same programme as JJ - and at other times he was to be given nothing." [ End Extract] That sounds quite reasonable. But then he goes to the german public TV and says something slighty different as reported in many channels (including in spain - so much for the coverup) 1) From all this we NOW have only heard from Mr. Fanke an from Morten the part "same as JJ". But they conveniently ommit the very important "nothing or...". 2) The document mentioned (assuming it is authentic) relates JJ to I2 (Insuline?). But Mr. Franke now reasons "if JJ has self-admitedly takex A, B, C then AC must have also taken A, B, C. Because this papers says "...same as JJ". 3) AC was probably not even a direct client of Fuentes (he was too unimportant). His team was! JJ had an individualized program and it seems that AC did not (otherwise he would not be referred thru others). Now you could say: From this document Franke could deduce that AC may have been recomended by someone in his team to take I2 at some pont (it seems there are not blood bags for him, right?) following Fuentes's genral recomendations. But Franke says AC has taken A,B,C because he has taken the same stuff as JJ He knows! To this JJ has said he does not know whether AC has takan stuff, only that he assumes he has based on this documents -as the information was correct about himself. Sumarizing, no proof. That was 2005. Contador already missed the TdF 2006 because of this stuff. Is it possible he may have been clean this year? |

It's not a technicality! He lost the lawsuit because he said something that he MADE UP. Even though there was plenty of _real_ dirt on Jan that he could have used. I guess that dirt didn't sound as good as the MADE UP dirt. You can't go on a crusade behind people who lie. Well, you can, and it's done quite often, like in the original Crusades, or our current attempt to re-invent the Middle East. But it's a _****ing lousy idea_. Sometimes, even though there really are witches, you still have to follow the rules before burning them. Ben |

The torch wielders and manure fork brandishers love to spit on technicalities, never knowing that only through technical rulings are their liberties preserved. The word "technicality" being used in the derisive manner we always see is defined as "the thing that made my position lose." Like when the defendants are kicked loose after the Nifong prosecutor witholds exculpatory evidence from the defense. Or when Franke makes **** up. "Technicalities" are always for other folks, the dirty *******s. Then it comes your turn, and the technicalities become your FUNDAMENTEAL RIGHTS. |
