  1. Hi folks--

    Was there ever an OLN TDF recap special? As I recall, there was supposed to
    be one on July 30th, but Floyd's problems had already surface by then, and I
    think it didn't air. Has there been anything on since? Although I get OLN
    on my cable, the show lineup on some channels via my TiVo can be inaccurate
    at times--I have found this to be an issue before with OLN.

    Perhaps something was on in the last few days, and I never saw it? Or, OLN
    pulled it for the moment?

    Just wondering--

    No. the OLN website messageboard has a number of posts from people
    complaining about OLN pulling the promised show. no one is impressed.

    On the contrary, it's a perfect opportunity for them to step up to the plate
    about he issue of doping. They're candyasses.

    Of course they're candyasses. But if they did, Bobke would be under
    pressure to tell what he knows. And what would they do with Frankie for
    color commentary? "Here's a testosterone patch. You put it on your scrotum
    like this............."

    phil and the gang probabally produced the segment under contract before
    the story broke; they, having done the work, asked for more money to
    produce a revised segment which natually was declined by oln. oln has
    been very quiet about the entire issue- so you have to suspect their
    involvement in pulling it. just a guess.

    They're just waiting for the final results.

    So I guess we can expect that to **possibly** air just before next years
    tour. But maybe not until before the 2008 tour.
