Also his latest Twitter post is funny: "Just took a shower. Got it down under 10 mins. Whew."

I reckon this BikeSnobNYC posting pretty well sums it ....toolonglegs wrote:LA is in the crap...what can you say...he knows the rules better than anyone...shite even I know that once notified of a test you must stay with the tester until the test is complete...20 minutes for a shower...what were you on LA!!!.
Wonder if that is the reason the Giro suddenly changed it's route today and now won't enter France...or am I just reading too much into it?
Oh the fun and games.

"I also had never heard of a laboratory (as opposed to an anti-doping organization) sending testers to collect samples. We asked the tester for evidence of his authority. We looked at his papers but they were far from clear or impressive and we still had significant questions about who he was or for whom he worked. I was there with Johan Bruyneel and two other people. We told the tester we wanted to check with the UCI to confirm who he was and to make sure he wasn’t just some French guy with a backpack and some equipment to take my blood and urine. Johan stayed with him and in his presence called the UCI to find out what was going on. We asked if it was OK for me to run inside and shower while they made their calls and the tester said that was fine."

The problem here is with the tester. He was a weirdo who arrived alone without proper ID and didn't follow the rules. His willingness to send Lance out of his sight probably confirmed in their minds that he was an impostor.

"At the agency, the version of events is that only when the tester threatened to call in gendarmes did Bruyneel agree to let testing proceed, and the French official pooh-poohed Armstrong's claim that the tester let him shower. The agency says the tester reported that he repeatedly warned Armstrong that he had to keep him within his sight at all times." - The Associated Press

But didn't he sign the form saying no issues? If that is the case then what you quote above lacks veracity.... The form should tell the story. Why haven't the French released the form?toolonglegs wrote:Interesting....

At least he isn't saying he didn't know what he took.

Or we could not believe his tale...but the family evidence is pretty sad. Depression is a quiet killer as the cycling community already knows too well.
I hope he receives the help he needs and it makes a positive difference to his life.

French get it wrong once again ... man they need to learn to shut-up until they have all the facts ...
More at the New York Times.Two weeks after saying there was “a very high likelihood†that he would be barred from the Tour de France in July because of a dispute with France’s antidoping agency, Lance Armstrong announced that his plan to compete in the race was back on course.
The French antidoping agency said in a statement Friday that it would not seek to punish Armstrong, the seven-time Tour winner, for what a drug tester said was a rules violation last month.
The agency said it “decided to take into consideration the written explanations of the athlete†that came in a letter from Armstrong dated April 16.

Cycling CentralAustrian cyclist Christian Pfannberger has pulled out of the Giro d'Italia and been suspended from the Katusha team after failing a doping test.
A surprise test on Pfannberger at his home in Austria on March 19 came back positive, and the rider sent a letter to Katusha on Tuesday saying he was pulling out of the Giro for personal reasons.

Cycling CentralSpanish cyclist Alejandro Valverde is bringing a lawsuit against Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri.
"Mr Torri acts, in a repeatedly obstinate manner, with total disregard for the Spanish legal authorities, refusing to submit to the decision of the Madrid judge that forbids CONI from using criminal evidence against athletes," Valverde said in a statement.
CONI accuses Valverde of violating article 2.2 of the World Anti-doping Agency's (WADA) code regarding the use of prohibited substances and has called for him to be banned for two years.
