I am sure it will get worse.

No idea what is next, but I think it will get worse for him. (lance)

[Lovetoclimb]

I wonder how many excellent pictures of the guy they can keep digging up to attach to these articles . . .

If this is true the writing in on the wall for Armstrong and the UCI.

More pushing air and speculation.

Saugy told US authorities on three different occasions about the Armstrong tests and said that he would turn over the results to anti-doping officials, the AP reported. “But he never produced them, which prompted the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to send him a letter in April asking for the evidence.

His claims that he did not know the name of the person or persons who submitted the doping controls in question “was contrary to what he said in his statement made to officials from the FBI, the Food and Drug Administration and anti-doping authorities, the person familiar with the investigation told the AP.

either produce the samples and a record of there where abouts or it's just speculation. give me a few minutes and i can produce a sample.

I wonder if his attorneys are allowed to give him advice like, "Become the next Bobby Fischer" and go to a country where you can't be extradited, and live your life in hiding.

I believe France has no extradition treaty with the US. Sarkozy is an avid bicycle fan, and so surely he would grant Lance French citizenship and residency rights on the back of seven TdF victories, non? C'est 'fair play'!

You think the FDA can initiate a criminal prosecution of Armstrong, in America, for alleged doping in 2001 in Switzerland???

Sources claim Swiss lab director knew who the samples were from

Swiss anti-doping laboratory director Martial Saugy told US authorities last fall that Lance Armstrong's doping controls from the 2001 Tour de Suisse were “suspicious” and “consistent with EPO use,” the Associated Press has reported.

This contradicts earlier statements from Saugy, in 2001 the lab's scientific director, who had previously said publicly that he did not know who the four “suspicious” doping samples were from.

I agree..

[soulspinner]

Why would Saugy know whos it was? If he knew then couldnt that be grounds to throw it out? I thought the samples were anonymous.............
