??? where does this article accuses L'equipe of anything?


It helps to know that Liberation is still ****ed at the fore-runner of
L'Equipe from WWII.

If this turns out to have substance to it, I will not be surprised.
Armstrong already amply demonstrated that he is ethically-challenged by
the way he behaved in his marriage.


Interesting. I've had close friends go through messy divorces and at
the end of the process, I still don't know for sure who, if anyone,
was ethically challenged. Amazingly, I can only guess about the way my
friends and acquaintances behave in their marriages. Maybe I'm just
spending too much time on other things.

And ethics seen from long distance can be seen with such clarity. Much
better than if we are talking about our own situations. I know some
scum, for one example, that purchase tax-free items off the Internet
and don't even fill out a use tax form and pay up on a regular basis.
I'm absolutely aghast to find out such things, but people have even
admitted it to me in front of witnesses...

Meanwhile the usual suspects line up for comments:

Merckx: "I take Lance's word over any journalist's."
Leblanc : "Shocked!"
Simeoni: "Now see."
Voet : "I knew him before and after the disease. It was a different
person. He
should explain how he rides up Alpe d'Huez at 25 kmh"


Lafferty: "The smoking gun!"
Kunich: "The sponge bath!"


You mean "Lafferty: 'I wonder how Ms. Crow is doing this morning.'"

At the end, it states that L'Equipe belongs to ASO, and they waited
till Armstrong's Tour career was over before turning over the
"incriminating" information.

Exactly the point of my other post in rec.bicycles.misc. If Lance is
indeed dirty then the Tour is even dirtier for sitting on this for 7
years and milking Lance's story for all it was worth.

I wonder if Lance and co. had any idea this investigation was in the
works and about to break.

Except, of course, for Le Monde, which devotes its editorial to
Armstrong's guilt, with plenty of "we told you so"s to boot.
http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,...-636140,0.html

I wonder if Le Monde was around during "La Terreur". In any case,
they don't seem to believe that there is any defence against
accusations which have been recognised as not being up to a legal
standard.


I just saw the Le Monde's page 1 headline which directly declares
Armstrong guilty of EPO use in 1999.
