Sports: Armstrong and Contador confirm that the hate doesn’t stop in Paris

  • My relationship with Armstrong
    is nil. He’s a great champion, and he had a great race in this Tour, but it’s something else on a personal level, where I’ve never had a great admiration for him, and I never will.
  • 2009 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador • On how he feels about his teammate, seven-time winner Lance Armstrong. But wait, it gets better. Armstrong responded on his Twitter, saying, “if I were him I’d drop this drivel and start thanking his team. Without them, he doesn’t win.” Oh SNAP!  • source

Sports: Fighting words: Lance Armstrong takes on French drug testers

  • This is just another example of the improper behavior by the French laboratory and the French anti-doping organizations. I am sorry that they are disappointed that all the tests were negative, but I do not use any prohibited drugs or substances.
  • Lance Armstrong • In a statement earlier this week. Since ticking them off by taking a shower, Armstrong has gone out on the offensive over the drug-testing agency in France, who he has had a strained relationship with. He says the agency may prevent him from racing in the Tour de France – you know, the reason he unretired in the first place. • source

Sports: Did Lance Armstrong delay his drug testing?

  • What happened? A drug tester went to get samples from the unretired Armstrong, but agreed to wait 20 minutes while he showered and while Armstrong’s assistant’s checked the tester’s background.
  • No evasion, he says Armstrong (whose blood, urine and hair samples came out clean, by the way), denies being evasive, saying he simply wasn’t sure of the identity of the tester. It raised eyebrows, though. source
