Emma Addresses Strickland

"I spoke to David because I felt that by not talking I
was a part of a problem that is actually bigger than
Lance. The big problem is drugs in cycling."

She thinks Lance is a problem.

"If my word is so worthless, Mr. Strickland, why did
Lance feel the need to terrorize me for more than two
years? Why did Lance feel the need to try and break me?"

Help! I'm being repressed.

"So I generally get harassment on both sides all
because I was stupid enough to speak the truth."

Sometimes breaking a confidence is not adherence to truth.

Calling somebody a problem, then complaining
that they take action against you is naive,
stupid, or cunning.

Emma O'Reilly was and is to this day on a crusade. To
be on a crusade is to pick a fight. I am not obliged,
or likely, to cheer her on. I do enjoy watching a good scrap.

She comes across as pretty well balanced. You could learn a lot from
rereading the article and trying to notice the parts you naturally
block out. It'd be a big effort, but it'd pay dividends.

She's believable and has a decent perspective.

I think when Strickland says that if it's her word against
LANCE's then LANCE wins he was speaking in a legal sense. At
least that's how I took it.

Emma seems to have a different read on it, that Strickland is
saying that LANCE is more believable.

Fred Flintstein

Agreed. She took it personally and I'm sure it wasn't intended that way.

She is in it for the action. Ten years after she is
tweaking people. Those who think they made a naive and
youthful mistake do their level best to live it down.
Emma is still scrapping.

Would you trust Lance Armstrong to tell the truth when there would be
consequences for him ?

I doubt anyone in this forum can honestly say they would.

No offense, pizza boy, but I can honestly say I wouldn't trust you to
tell the truth if there were consequences for you.
I am not 100% sure, but I believe this is what they call "life." *This
is why we watch sports - to get away from life, no?


I wouldn't count on me to give the same opinion as 1 in a million
people - but you can rely on me telling the truth. *There's a huge
difference.

Of course. No one has ever lied after they said they were telling the
truth. Or before. Or during.

Now put money, reputation and other penalties to be named later on the
other side of that balance beam.

I don't even believe you about your fookin' pizza. I've never tasted
it. I keep pricking up my ears and barking when the FedEx truck rolls
by - maybe it's the dog barking, I don't know - but no pizza ever
arrives. Liar.

BL anyone with a 3rd grade reading ability would read this section of
the article and come up with the conclusion you wrote.

"why did Lance’s legal team feel the need to go to the High Court the
morning of my testimony for the above case so they could sit in on it?
They would have known that I was without my lawyer, another bullying
tactic that I had become accustomed too. Unfortunately, it’s hard to
effectively bully someone who is telling the truth."

Yes - Lance's legal *team went after her and couldn't crack her and
the rest of these RBR jokers are being stupid ****s. * *It must be
some kind of silly grade school game they play.

Newsflash: Some top athletes are aggressive and
competitive off the playing field! To the point of being
jackasses even!

WTF do you aunties expect. LANCE is famous for talking
about The **** That Will Kill Them, not the spit that will
make them slightly uncomfortable.

This is kind of like NFL fans talking about what a shame
it is that their favorite spectacle damages the brains of
the gladiators they contract to watch. If only someone
would do something about it! But not, you know, anything
that would affect the game's watchability.

You didn't take anything "out" of context so much as create an extremely
misleading idea of what the article was actually about. You wouldn't score
very high on the verbal SAT if you had read that article and said it was
about Lance's legal team being unable to rattle Emma.

As far as that goes, they do seem to have rattled her cage.
She might even enjoy the attention.

Taking advantage of a tactical mistake.
You too cheap to stay lawyered up in a legal battle, Emma?

Emma is on a crusade. One object of her crusade
is Lance Armstrong. You are saying LA should
lie back and enjoy it.

They may not have "cracked" her. They continue
to make her life choice uncomfortable for her.
