We both know who we're talking about, right?! So I guess we both know enough to know who we're talking about.
"Landreu", "Andreu". Yeah, okay, I admit I added an extraneous letter to his last name. If that's your basis for discounting all the things ANDREU said about LA in the deposition, then I want you on my jury if I ever go to trial for anything, because you're awfully easy to convince! Disregard the ANDREU statements in the deposition, disregard the rampant doping in the sport, disregard all that, but DO go to the length of pointing out a misspelled name. Got it.
What about L'Equipe?
What about Dr. Ferrari?
What about Landis?
What about ANDREU's deposition?
What about his masseuse, Emma O’Reilly, who claims Lance asked her to dispose of a bunch of used syringes? If he needed syringes for a legitimate purpose, why ask your masseuse to dispose of them? Why ask her for makeup to cover up needle marks?
What about a guy who had CANCER, coming back to beat a field of dopers, not once, not twice, not three times, but SEVEN times in a row?!
Dude, wake up.
As I said before, if Lance was clean in those Tours, he's the greatest athlete of this generation, and an even better story of coming back from the LITERAL brink of death. If he's a doper, he's a doper - a guy willing to cheat his way to the top.
At this point, I'm more annoyed by Lance apologists who honestly don't seem capable of reading and comprehending the very simple and obvious reality of what's' going on, than I am annoyed by Lance, because at the end of the day, Lance HAS done great things for cancer victims, at the least.
The Lance apologists, however, have to live their lives with the inability to comprehend simple reality. It's as if someone took you out at dawn, showed you the rising sun, then showed you a compass indicating that the sun was rising in the east, and having you dumbly look back and say, "No, the sun rises in the west." No, see, there's the sun. That direction is east. "No, the sun rises in the west. You don't know how to spell Andreu properly."
Okay, man. A misspelled name trumps everything else. Got it.
Novitzsky is going to open a lot of eyes.
