"The claim that I, along with another teammate, approached a team doctor and asked him questions about doping products back in 1996 is absolutely false. I swear on my wife's life and the grave of my dog that I never asked that man about anything of the sort. If you know anything about me, you know this is as emphatic as I can be. I'm truly saddened to have to respond publicly to such an accusation."

Who EVER swears on their own life? Whenever anyone makes an honest sort of swear like this they do it on the lives of those that really matter, wife, kids, mother, pet, etc. To me, this comment by Tyler means more than a mountain of negative tests and a dozen lie detector tests. I have yet to hear Armstrong say anything like this. It is always "we don't take whatever" , "I don't use X". Always in the present, he does not say we or I have never taken such and such. That in itself does not prove anything but it does make me wonder about the overly careful phrasing he uses when addressing this topic. I truly hope neither turn out to be doping as a lot of the positive image cycling has rec'd in recent years will be down the tubes.

I'm glad you noticed. He sounds more like Tricky Dicky and/or Spiggy the Piggy every time.

I've never ever heard someone make an "honest swear" on the life of a dead dog. Doubting the authenticity.
Note that the wife was apparently not consulted on this. Is she voluntary? One wonders. --TP

Tim McTeague
On the Today show he was asked "Have you ever in the history of this event (Tour de France) ever taken performance enhancing drugs?"
"Absolutly not" was Armstrong's response.
On Jim Rome's show a couple of years ago "Have you ever, ever taken performance enhancing drugs, ever?"
On Jim Rome's show a couple of years ago "Have you ever, ever taken performance enhancing drugs, ever?"
"No." was Armstrong's answer.
Those answers sound pretty absolute to me.
On the "Is Lance an athlete?" thing. Jim Rome who knows just about all the best US athletes on a personal basis is in awe of what Lance does. There is no question in his mind, and he speaks his mind about as clearly as someone can. He was raving about Lance for a big chunk of this, and last week especially. http://www.jimrome.com/home.html

Yes but no formal system can encompass all truth, don't you know that?
And in fact he has taken a performance enhancing drug, EPO, during cancer treatment. So the correct answer is "yes" but not to enhance performance, unless you consider surviving cancer to be performance enhancing.
Thus, Rev., his answer did not encompass all truth. Read your Gödel if you dare. :-)

Yeah, & he probably also got Novocain at the dentist at some point during his life, which is also a banned "performance enhancing drug."

Unless M. Lafferty crashes a lot, I would have thought it more appropriate for Tyler Hamilton and Cadel Evans so they can familiarize themselves with the principles of the law of gravitation.
