    From Urban Dictionary:

    attaboy - Word given when you do a damn good job!

    Lance was pa$$ing along an "attaboy" to the U$ADA.

    Despite how others twist this, it is really a testimony to Lance's antidoping stance. Same as giving to the UCI, which was to combat anti-doping. In the case of the USADA, there was no bribe or nothing, just generosity on the part of Lance to catch dopers. This was where his mind was at and should be used to clarify the motives of the UCI gift. Of course it won't.

    So now that Lance is a convicted doper does that mean we can use the 'we all know he is a liar' argument whenever Lance says something (like Lance never made an offer to the USADA)?

    It did seem to be one of Lance's favorite tactics against people speaking out against him.

    j_a, LA's efforts against doping in the peloton go beyond merely his payments or offers thereof to anti-drug agencies. He personally worked hard to remove PEDs from the market and properly dispose dispose of them. He eliminated as much EPO and other PEDs as his body could tolerate. And he strongly encouraged his teammates to do the same.

    OF course, as often pointed out there, LA was the best of the best. No one could remove PEDs from circulation and render them useless to the rest of the peloton as he could. As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

    "Same as giving to the UCI, which was to combat anti-doping." - 7tdf

    For once 7tdf is right - Lance's donation to the UCI was absolutely intended to combat anti-doping efforts. Which is, of course, quite a different thing than *supporting* anti-doping efforts...

    I meant the fight against anti-doping, which should be obvious to all. The knit picking around here for the purists, incredible, sorry.

    Geeez 7tdf, talk about a Lancian slip. Your correction is even funnier!

    7tdf your posts have to have the highest density of mistakes, malapropisms, contradictions and outright spelling errors on this entire forum. Surely you are doing this intentionally? If so it really is impressive... or you are the stupidest phucker around.

    Golly! Where to begin?
    1) The correct expression is "a testament to..." "testimony" is not correct.
    2)"... to combat anti-doping", as others have pointed out, means to undermine, weaken, or fight against anti-doping and work in favor of doping. While I agree with the substance of your statement that LA was working to subvert anti-doping with his payoffs to the UCI and his attempted payoff to USADA, your many previous posts would imply that you intended to say the opposite.
    3) "... no bribe or nothing." In English, the two negative words "no" and "nothing" used together as you did becomes a "double negative". This means that you have said the opposite of what you usually mean for the second time.
    4) Obviously there was "no bribe". There was the offer of a bribe. The UCI accepts such offers while the USADA does not.

    I feel very strongly that improving your English language skills will help you to communicate your love for and devotion to Lance much more effectively. He'll like that.

    @ Ben - i like your logic, however you need much more enthusiasm and bluster to pull off that argument.

    @stronz - we should bet on the former that it is intentional. If so, it's brilliant. splitwheels reborn? there's no way anyone could be that dense. no way.

    "I was stunned," Tygart says in the interview, according to USA Today. "It was clear - it was a clear conflict of interest for USADA. We had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."

    Ben, finally someone undercovers the truth. Sort of like I did when I found my son's weed stash....I took it away from him and smoked it all myself so that he would not have a chance to abuse drugs.

    Without Polish around I am obviously getting swarmed here. But everyone knows where I stand on Lance, but I guess not without dotting every I and crossing every T. Grammar won't change the truth. Anyway, you all are living in fear of Oprah no doubt. Like Romney at the first debate. Less sure of the "truth" now.
