So once again we have to listen to a embittered former "friend" of LA claim to have knowledge that LA was doping.
Most of these are downright absurd, but this one is just comical.
Here's the skinny, Mike Anderson, who is involved in a legal fight with Armstrong over alleged promises the cyclist made to help Anderson start a bike shop, made the claim about a banned substance in a brief filed in state district court.
Here's the "evidence":
Anderson, who says he had a key to Armstrong's apartment in Girona, Spain, alleges he was cleaning the bathroom in ``early 2004'' when he found a white box labeled ``like any other prescription drug'' but that did not have a doctor's prescription attached. Written on the box was the trademark name ``Androstenine, or something very close to this,'' Anderson said.
``He went to the computer, looked it up on the WADA or USADA Web site(s), and confirmed that what he had found was an androgen, a listed banned substance,'' Anderson's court brief states, referring to the World Anti-Doping Agency and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
So, let me get this straight. He's a supposed friend of LA, yet he just happened to be sneaking around LA's house and magically came upon a bottle of "Androstenine, or something very close to this". At which point he immediately goes and looks it up on the computer. Wow, sounds convincing...
but wait it gets better...
Anderson said he was fired in November 2004 after asking for, and getting, a $500-a-month raise. He said Armstrong's representatives offered him a severance package totaling $7,000.
Armstrong and his personal service company, Luke David LLC, sued Anderson about a month later, claiming Anderson demanded Armstrong pay him $500,000, give him a signed Tour de France jersey and future endorsements to help him set up his own bike shop.
So, this guy is fired and is [censored] that LA won't give him $500,000 and endorse his bike shop...jeez, what's a guy to do..
wait I know...cry DOPER!
Once again yet another SAD extortion attempt from someone who coudn't earn an honest buck, so he tries to do what other slime like him try to do...threaten, sue and attempt to smear the charecter of the person they have a vendetta against.
This is so transparent it's almost insulting. Fortunately anyone who has a brain in their head can see right through this garbage.
These claims will always continue as long as there are slimeballs looking to cash in on someone else's good fortune. How pathetic.
Look at the source and recognize the motives..adds up to yet another false claim.
