There is no doubt that the 33-year-old American will honour his

contract

but only last week he told Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper:

"In

four-and-a-half months it'll be over."

Armstrong told French daily Le Figaro he was finding being apart from

his five-year-old son and three-year-old twin daughters, who live in
Texas, harder and harder to bear.

"My frequent absences plus the long distances make me feel like

mechanic/personal assistant/do everthing person, Mike Anderson. VERY
interesting reading

Correction. A defense to a lawsuit filed by Armstrong against someone
who claims he could have been a multilingual professor but instead did
everything but pedal the bike. He seems to have been more of the
general dogsbody though. Did you know that this is a response in a
lawsuit filed by Armstrong suing Anderson for demanding $500,000, an
autographed jersey, and help setting up a bike shop after he was fired?.

But what does it say? It makes two claims which are completely
unprovable that Armstrong said in a one to one conversation that
"everyone did drugs" and an evidence and witness free claim that he saw
drugs once in his apartment. He even says he never saw Armstrong take
drugs.

Have you got a reference to the first and second filings and the
original claim filed by Armstrong et al? Have you read them?

What you have here is an individual trying to defend himself against a
claim filed by the Armstrong camp. Unless you have read the original
Armstrong claim and the subsequent exchange of statements you are seeing
only an extremely biased single side of the story, and one based mainly
on hearsay, completely out of context.

Have a read of http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/7365.0.html to put it in
a fuller context.

So an Associated Press article will place the matter in context will
it?? Hmm ..

All I ACTUALLY said was interesting reading ...... no more! Of course
ALL sides must be heard and read to make any judgement ....... but
still interesting (to me, and I thought maybe to others) reading.

In better context than the third round of one side's story that you have
now posted here twice. Why is only that document available on the web?
Why has no-one put up copies of the original lawsuit filed by
Armstrong against Anderson? Could there be an agenda?

No, you've now put it forward twice, wrongly claimed it was a lawsuit
filed against Armstrong rather than the defence to a lawsuit filed by
Armstrong and called it "VERY interesting reading" nudge nudge wink wink.
