Lance, who knew?

I saw a documentary on the 2003 Tour de France on French
TV. The most amazing discovery was that Armstrong
understands and speaks Italian, since he listened to and
answered questions from the Italian media. I suppose that
this means he really did do drugs, that is, he saw Dr.
Ferrari so often to get his EPO that he got to learn
Italian.

When Armstrong went to Motorola he had a different Italian
coach, before Ferrari, and Lance has (had?) a home at Lake
Como, Italy.

So, you're suggesting that knowledge of the Italian language
is not de facto proof of doping? I guess that still leaves
pretty much everything else.

Had. Yeah, he manages to speak some Italian when the folks
with RAI interview him, although it's pretty halting...
along the lines of "uh... giro MOLTO bello...uh... Simoni
forte...uh...", but they still seem to appreciate it.

In fact, Bettini speaks fluent French. Does that mean that
he's clean?

I wonder who will win the "most

interviews, Tyler, or Lance. My money's on Tyler.

Hands down, the winner of this will be Gearge W. Bush.

Not necessarily, unless ... does he know how to speak
American too?

I think he gets credit for trying. He could just respond in
French or English, but he manages to get his point across,
and the effort is appreciated. OTOH, they're getting
irritated with him for not doing the Giro.

With out a doubt he deserves credit for foreign interviews.
I was referring to his English interviews. lol

I don't know, but he has a semi-active diary in English on
Cyclingnews.com.

Well, that proves he's clean. Riders tell all in their
Cycling News diaries, and he didn't mention he was
doping there.
