Not a word about Armstrong and L'Equipe. On vacation or are they just having
trouble coming to reconciling the L'Equipe report with their love of
Armstrong?

Or perhaps being responsible journalists.

Are you saying that CyclingNews, VeloNews, The NY Times, The LA Times,
Houston Cronicle, etc are not responsible journalists?

You must be the only person who would even bother to note what Pez Cycling
News says or not. They aren't to be taken seriously and by clamoring for
their avowal in this instance it's permitted to wonder if you are either.

No he isn't.

> They aren't to be taken seriously

Perhaps not, but I like their style. I don't think they take themselves
all too seriously; that's good.

If you've ever read Pez regularly, you know that they have access to
Armstrong. Apparently Armstrong takes them seriously enough to give them
his time. Why is that? (rhetorical question)

Because they are not on the enemies list. You know about the
enemies list, don't you?

Does not read Pez regularly, does not give a fuck if they've
picked up the story or not.

Agreed, all the more reason why the LA circus doesn't fit with their MO.

Right you are. I assume you've read Daniel Coyles book. Anyone who asks
the hard questions is an enemy.

Agreed. That is the main reason to check them out.

Taking a leaf out of Riis's (note)book.

People who fly blimps while under the influence of Belgian beer can hardly
be called responsible.

No. Bad journalists. The 5 W's of journalism include Why. They had an
article about the reception Hincapie got on the podium at Plouay, without
ever mentioning why fans didn't applaud. It's actually quite comical the
lengths to which they go.

From L'Equipe:

Enfin, au sujet de l'affaire Lance Armstrong, accusé d'avoir eu recours à de
l'EPO lors du tour de France 1999, Hincapie s'est contenté de déclarer :
«Lance est mon meilleur ami. C'est un héros pour des milliards de gens et je
suis son premier supporter».

Might this friendship have something to do with it?

Perhaps it was the Elbonian national squad
