Wouldn't be surprised if Dede employed the same preparations as Michael.

After I sent last night, I realized I didn't go far enough in calling out the flaws in what Mike Barry is selling.  Dede and Mike shared a house with Allen Lim in Boulder.  Same Allen Lim.  Mike was almost certainly using a power meter for training, and if not, certainly keeping a diary.  He knows what kind of difference the drugs made.

The Alan Lim thing is WIERD. He was in the middle of the vortex; Floyd, Barry, Lance 2.0, Levi, etc. Why the continued "huh?" From him? Pretty diagusting.

Zing!

Heh. So there was roughly twice as much HGH ordered as there were prescriptions, not to mention how much is distributed from unlicensed sources. Also funny that it's on the NBA's banned list, yet, they don't test for it!!! Please tell me they're gonna include a test for this in the local masters and 123 races. Although I'm sure most of the juiced locals have "legit" TUE's for it. Will the public be informed if someone fails a test even if the have a doctor's note? I'd still like to boooooo them if so. But I assume it's a confidential health thing and we'll never know. http://m.laramieboomerang.com/articles/2012/12/25/ap/health/us_hgh_growing_use.txt?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Oh Your God
Lance going to do Oprah
http://www.oprah.com/pressroom/Lance-Armstrong-on-Oprahs-Next-Chapter

OYG!

THOR'S HAMMER !!!!  Oprah gets the exclusive...it seems like yesterday that he was yucking it up with Oprah and his mom...Oprah and his ex-wife Kristen...Oprah and Sheryl Crow...Where is Mystery Science Theater 3000 when you need it ???

Maybe this will save both their careers

Oh this gonna be sweet.  Cue Iraqi Information Minister.

Seriously, who's hosting the viewing party? The drinking game should be awesome. Every time LA starts to choke up, every time Oprah asks how he and his family are doing, etc.

The likely outcome: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2013/jan/09/ten-questions-oprah-wilfrey-lance-armstrong

Oprah Wilfrey???

They dont spellz too gud at the Guardian.

to be fair the article is titled correctly, it is the hyperlink that has the spelling error

I'll be out front throwing salt on the ice where hell froze over.

He is really a piece of work.

"Under the False Claims Act, if Armstrong and others are found to have violated the act, they could be on the hook for triple the amount of the total paid under the contract. That could mean damages of roughly $100 million."

Why does LA have to go on Oprah and taint the last thing that was pure and good in my life in my life. Sad, sad day.

there is supposed to be a 'live feed' from the web site.

I know you love Oprah's couch but that doesn't mean it was pure before Lance. Remember Tom Cruise's performance...

I apologize for maintaining faith in Armstrong as a detached observer.  I just could not contemplate how one guy--plus his entourage--could completely fool every test that was done.  I guess this actually says FAR more about the testing regime than it does about Lance, Inc.

Even more proud to ride my LeMond Maillot Jaune.  I just hope that Greg is feeling charitable if and when Lance ever personally apologizes to him (among the many). 

I am not sure that Lance will ever have the dignity/humility/grace it takes to apologize to all he has denounced, libeled, ridiculed, defamed to protect his lies.

That is why Lance paid for an exclusive with Ferrari. Ferrari was smarter than the testers and the tests, the survival of his business depended on it.

Heh. "Something much creepier". Truth.

But we should thank the fact he at least was obsessed with cycling bc this driven sociopath could've been like, I dunno, a serial killer or something ya know?

Of all the fluff Lance pieces out there on the inter webs...this one is my favorite:

'if you're gonna cheat, cheat with a smile on your face' i enjoyed that thoroughly.
