Following the money.

It'll be like Al Capone. They'll get him on tax avoidance or something.

By the sounds of it, the charges will relate to defrauding the Federal government (US Postal is a government agency and funds provided by them are alleged to have been used to run a doping programme).

Such a great song and album.

Another LA musical interlude...

I wonder where it'll leave the case if they decide that it was the money raised from the sale of the bikes which funded the doping programme.

Still not a great result for anyone's credibility or career of course.

It was the money raised from the sale of Livestrong bands that paid for phials.

Oooooh, controversial. Meh.

Hater. Livestrong bands helped cure cancer.

Well they haven't sold all the Astana frames yet, still a few in the service course. Anyone want to by a boxed turbo trainer?

Did they contain crystal holograms then?

crystal holograms! ha! like that does anything.

They had holographic crystals.

Yes, and they give your aura a yellow tinge that kills cancer cells. FACT.

But leaves you with jondis.

I thought if you held a Livestrong band under your chin, a yellow glow on your skin meant you're cured.

Whatever, buttercup.

Spelling things out will soon be a useful skill for a new dad like yourself, so feel free to keep practising.

sorry.

(although google doesn't correct the spelling ["did you mean..."] so I assumed it was correct).

How tall is Lancelot?

thinking of buying one of his bikes?

Nah, I was just wondering. I like the look of his legs, maybe I buy some of them.

Ya get me?

Maybe. Are you saying you want to make a Lance costume out of Lance? Your costume collection is getting out of hand.

I have a new costume to 'break-out' this weekend.

"Trek said. "We did not, and never would, condone such activity. Trek does not support doping in cycling and has included in all of its sponsorship contracts the right to terminate any athlete who violates the doping rules."
a shame they didn't feel they could back LeMond instead of giving him the elbow.
money talks.

And bullshit walks. [/Tap]

O rly?
