No, I did not specifically call it. I told you what I had heard from
people in pro cycling in California who expected something of note to
happen in the next five days or so--likely this week. Relax, it is going
to be in the news soon.

Because they are 'pro-cyclists' they have special connections to the judiciary
huh? I always thought California was a bit weird.

Well, what I noticed about the Tour presentation was that none of them
were retired. I mean, Indurain wasn't there either. And where was
Sastre? Does this mean the shit is going to hit the fan in Spain?

And Laff got an 'A' in his law school correspondence course in Advanced
Candyassing.

I would have called it Androperl mysef but in any case the prestige of having

No, I think that "Because they are 'pro-cyclists'" is exactly the reason
nothing has happened. Could be that "pro cyclists" just doesn't resonate
very well with potential jurors. As in, who cares? You know how Cat-6
Prima-donas are regarded by the cycling community? Well that's probably
about the same as how the general public regards "pro cyclists."

Unless one of Brian's earlier thoughts are correct, that maybe they have
something they can use to go after some really big players (Wiesel? Is
he really that big?), the whole Lance/doping/USPS/whatever thing might
be putting people to sleep. Is it really that interesting to someone not
familiar with cycling? And if someone on the outside did think it
interesting or worth their time, how would they regard their star
witnesses like Floyd? Keep in mind that they don't know George Hincapie;
his credibility to us carries now weight with them. Most here will take
George's word on whatever, but we're likely mistaken to think that
that's a universal truth.

Just make sure you mute the audio in case people think you're nuts when
he LOL's. And if he ROTFL's then they might think you're a weirdo with a

Too true

In England basically the general public regards them as a PIA that gets in the
way of their cars and shouldn't be on the road.

As John McEnroe would way "You cannot be serious". :)

I know I keep going back to this, but people really don't have a
sense where the line is between criminal activity and violations
of the WADA code.

Doping for a bike race is not a criminal act. The cyclingnews
article that was linked to described an investigation in Italy,
where doping for a bike race *is* a criminal act. The article
talks about money laundering, but while this might be the case
for the Italian authorities it is of no concern for the US Feds
with the possible exception of a investigator obsessed with
chasing headlines. Laundering money to participate in a legal
act is not only not criminal in the US, much of our political
process is funded that way.

I think it is entirely possible that one of the end results of
all this could be that LANCE can't go do the tourist ride the
day before Milan-San Remo. But if that happens it ain't going
to be Novitsky that does it. And it'll cost the Italians way
more than it's worth. But they seem to groove on that sort of
thing.

There are two places I don't go to for legal advice. One is
Laff, the other is pro cyclists in California.

I can't keep my shit straight sometimes. The link I was thinking
of was from that fockstick Fraudbytes. His reference to money
laundering is here:

Give him some credit, he was right about someone coming

Although he was wrong about it being the Feds.

That whole thing is becoming increasingly surreal, if the French have any actual
evidence to link Floyd to the alleged hack I'll be amazed. What is it about
cycling that generates weird behaviour?

This can also be induced by certain auto-erotic practices while
looking at pictures of LANCE.

RBR may have our own David Carradine in the making. Anyone know how
