Wow....

All i can say is Wow. What will happen next.

Thanks Bruce. Didn't see ya this morning at the Bike to work day but, well one of your relations was there iirc.

That may 18th news report over there at cyclingnews... bomb...

Calling Greg Lemond like that, not to mention being SO FUCKING STUPID as to use a phone number traced back to Will Geoghegan? Does that not just shred every ounce of credibility in the Landis camp? It makes them positively 100% assholes.

If he is willing to stoop to those levels... i'll write him off and convict him right now. Lifetime ban. So this story that Lemond told him in confidence... and then this "close friend" of Floyd's knows about the story... who else did Landis tell about all this?

And wanting to bring up Lance in the testimony? Um... who's on trial here brainiac?

Sick.

Oh and I spend a few minutes reviewing the runway shows for '07 from some of the bigger design houses. Wide ties are NOT the standard. Yeah there are a few, but lemme tell you there are a few other neckwear styles and other stuff that no right minded person should be wearing to court. not to mention that despite the tie being too wide by my standards, his shirt still doesn't fit, AND he still looks unprofessional and shaggy with that fuzz on his face.

On the ride home i was thinking how can the panel let him off cause that machine stuff is definitely flaky... now, hell even striking the Lemond testimony you've got unavoidable evidence that Mr. Retard doesn't possess the moral or ethical character that would prevent him from doping. He is slimy. Yes i am convicting him again. You have good moral character or you don't. Your actions are pervasive in life.

That bitchy woman that yelled at Frank with the emasculated husband (biketopia reference) carries her whole life like that most likely, the snapshots rarely lie, and while they may be a distortion of the whole picture the elements are none the less grounded in the person's make up. If Floyd is condoning such actions as calling Lemond and saying among other things: "I am your uncle and if you want me to finish this... We can talk about how we used to hide your weenie." then how can he not truly be unethical enough to have had illegal substances in his system? he might be stupid for having substances that wouldn't aid in performance... but... circumstantially, wow.

I am going to refrain from adding more here until i've recovered from reading the brief news flash posted above and have read the full coverage from Day 4's testimony.

At least the Giro is on, and i can listen to the beautiful Italian language, watch some killer cycling footage and see glimpses of why Italy is a beautiful country.

respect, (of which Landis is showing he has none for Lemond, Cycling or his fans)

Okay,
I've read the rest of the reports. And what can i say but, i'm dissapointed in Landis's camp. The IRMS operators and the lab sound pretty clearly competent after this line of questioning. That testimony certainly does not favor the Landis camp's assertion that the results are speculative.

From all the spectrums i've analyzed (x-rays, not chromostuff) i will say, identifying the base of a peak is pretty freaking objective, even if it is a subjective cut off. But i should defer to, or at least ask a dear friend who more or less runs these type of things daily. Maybe i have too much faith in machines. that or i just understand how they work? Maybe it comes down to education and knowledge base.

OOO that's a new descending position.... damn

sorry Giro interruption

I'm gonna assume I am that friend who runs Mass Spec every day.

From what I found in the articles you're talking about, they are using isotope ratio mass spec, which I have not done. According to the American Society of Mass Spec, it is very accurate and precise. I would assume the methods and machines the FDA uses are fully validated, and would take any human subjectiveness out of the equation.
