  • Dates of Affidavits Incredibly, All but One of the Affidavits Cited by USADA Were Signed in September and October of This Year
    Dates of Affidavits Incredibly, all but one of the affidavits cited by USADA were signed in September and October of this year. This list: Frankie Andrue: 9/24/12 Michael Barry: 10/8/12 Leonardo Bertagnolli: (unknown) Volodymyr Bileka: 11/10/10 Tom Danielson: 9/26/12 Tyler Hamilton: 9/28/12 George Hincapie: 9/24/12 Jorg Jaksche: 10/4/12 Floyd Landis: 9/26/12 Levi Leipheimer: 9/21/12 Filippo Simeoni: 9/10/12 or 10/9/12 Stephen Swart: 9/17/12 Christian Vande Velde: 9/25/12 Jonathan Vaughters: 9/12/12 David Zabriski: 9/4/12 (notary states 10/4/12) Betsy Andreu: 9/21/12 Piero Boccarossa: 9/25/12 Larry Bowers: 10/8/12 Marco Consonni: 10/4/12 Renzo Ferrante: 9/27/12 Emma O’Reilly: 10/9/12 Dawn Polay: 9/26/12 Jack Robertson: 10/9/12 Paul Scott: 10/9/12 Lory Testasecca: 9/23/12 Jean-Pierre Verdy: 9/10/12 Why is this incredible? For two reasons: First, all of the key witnesses in this case only swore under oath AFTER they knew that Armstrong was not contesting the USADA allegations (a decision announced on August 24, 2012). In other words, not a single key witness was willing to swear under oath until they were absolutely sure that there would be no adversarial proceeding, until they were absolutely sure that they would not be subject to cross examination, and until they were absolutely sure that their testimony would not be impeached by third parties or by special deals that the witnesses had made with USADA.

Yvonne and I spent a week following ALL the stages of the 2012 Amgen Tour of California. It was quite a trip. We went from Cloudy, Cool and Green Hills of Sonoma Coast to the Warm slopes of Santa Cruz Mountains. Then we went to the Crowded streets of Livermore to the Clear cool pines of the Sierras. Then we went to the Blistering heat and scorched fields of Bakersfield. We went from the Rocky outcrops of San Bernadino Mountains to the Bubbling creek on slopes of Mt.

Sam drove us up to Coleman Valley Road for the last KOM of the first stage. I found a spot about 100 meters before the KOM and a little above the road and waited for the riders. A Ralpha truck was setup and doing a roaring time by providing hot coffee for the spectators. A splintering break went by with the peloton fast on their heels. Luis Leon Sanchez veered over to the side of the road and did a double take checking out how Levi was doing. Various riders came by in groups until the broom wagon showed up.

  • 2003 Race Report
    Race Report #19 Pre Worlds Racing in Belgium for Steven Cozza 4th Place in the G.P of Nations iTT Steve Cozza September 13, 2003 On a warm September night, the canal runs quiet with only a train nearby breaking the silence in the little town known as Izegem. Breathing the Belgium air again to me is a feeling of freedom. I will live here and I will suffer greatly here but this is where some of my dreams will come true. I have learned the past year that life can be very difficult at times but if you continue to dream and continue to follow your dreams your future will fall into place on its own. Everything in life takes time and everything in life takes working for. You can't just be a European pro over night, but with a lot of work and a little luck things will go your way and that is the same with most things in life, especially with relationships. This past weekend I had my first races back in Europe this year. Since the US National team only sent me and another junior, Keith Norris, over they are having us combine to race on a Belgium team called Think Media Cycling. It was sweet because they gave me so much riding clothes and casual wear clothes. On Saturday the 13th I raced in a 120k road race with some 1k climbs in it. Since these races are for us to get ready for the Worlds in October I raced really hard and aggressive.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Shutting Down the Pharmacy on Wheels: Will Lance Armstrong’s Admission Impact the Practice of Doping in Professional Cycling? Abstract Lance Armstrong was one of the sport’s greatest heroes and his doping admission shook the American public to its core. Although professional cyclists are sanctioned for violating anti-doping rules on an almost regular basis, the investigation and lifetime ban of Lance Armstrong highlighted the serious problems facing the sport. Increased efforts to police drug use in cycling appear to be ineffective; however, as Armstrong’s situation may reveal, private law-suits have the potential to serve as a new and additional deterrent to cheating in the future. The aftermath of Armstrong’s admission has led to bickering of the major regulatory agencies, leading the general public to question whether the sport will ever be clean.
