Another fabulous day.
Samuel Sanchez insisting Armstrong is innocent because he never failed a test (which is, anyway, untrue), a strict position that I am fairly certain he doesn't take with Contador.
The piece that adoubletap posted above along with this nugget:
One source suggested to Roberts that Clinton himself swayed US Attorney Andre Briotte into suddenly closing down the 18-month investigation without reason on Superbowl Sunday, although the office denied its decision was the result of political pressure. But the closure did coincide with a large donation from Armstrong - $100,000 - to Planned Parenthood, provider of breast cancer screening to underprivileged women, which was coming under fire from conservatives.
He does get value for money with his donations doesn't he?
Pat McQuaid has had a real Frank Spencer. Suggesting that David Millar didn't promote his autobiography like Hamilton has and that makes all the difference.
Then he said this *“Bjarne Riis is a bit like Jonathan Vaughters, he’s working very hard to ensure that cycling today is doping free,” *
Later he had a dig at Paul Kimmage for using amphetamines when he was a pro. “I know Paul very well, I know him since he was in a pram,” McQuaid said. “I was a good amateur in my day but I took the decision not to go professional and I went to college instead. He went on to turn professional and then he took a decision during that career to dope. I’ve never done that. All I’ve done is ever work for the sport and for the benefit and the good of this sport all my life
