...

this is probably one of the stupidist articles I have read... there is no substance to it and no real work went into researching... it kind of reminds me of the last presidential elections where all the candidates did were attack each other... I can't believe someone got paid to write this... I do agree that the French MEDIA are after Armstrong... and people are influenced based on what information is presented to them, but that's no different then in the states... I think people here are a little weary of Armstrong now, but many I talked to before seemed to to have a warm spot in their hearts for him... for this editor to attack the guy who took this test is totally unreasonable... based on what I read, the guys testing urine or blood samples only see a number... there is no name to ensure confidentiality... this article by L'Equipe (French magazine making accusations) seems a bit sketchy to me for that reason... supposedly they called up lance to tell him about the evidence against him before anyone from the cycling federation did... that seems odd, how would they find out before things were made public? What I am getting at, is you can write an equally convincing article discrediting L'Equipe's story... any article like that, I would have to question...
