What is everyone's take on the latest allegations against Armstrong? OK, I know, not swimming related, sorry.

    1) I can't really believe how racist so many of these responses are. The French are really not as anti-american as we think they are. Calling them "Frogs" is extremely negative. L'Equipe has always been very pro US cyclists. They wrote about the Tour of Georgia. something that very few US papers or magazines did. I don't even recall seeing an article about it in cicyclist oriented magazines. They also love Greg Lamond. I think people need to ask themselves if they are against the story because it may not be accruate or beause it involves the French. 2) The samples testesd were taken at the same time. I heard that they were freeze dried. The EPO detection test was not available at the time. It now is. many old samples have been retestdin many sports. The remarks given by many people who are in the testing industry are great. EPO thoughis an enhancer from old samples can be easily detected. We are probably losiing the war against dopping. After all we are losing the larger war against drugs. 3) Rosolini, along with many onthe Italian team have been supected of using somehting since before the Sydney . The US & Australian press beat the issue to death. We don't hear anyone saying itis US poop! The Australians go after Roso even though he has Australian connects. I'm sure that there are soem very promient US swimers who are very dirty. Even though the are tested.
