Armstrong News
Read article about April 18 Armstrong interview in Georgia.
Read ESPN article about steroids found in Armstrong's home.
Read article about Lance's court date in Italy.
So, first off, Lance just announced that press people will want to be present in Georgia for the final press conference where he will make a huge announcment. This could mean a couple of things. He could announce he won't be riding the Tour de France, though he has recently said he be there for sure. He could be announcing an early retirement. Like one other blogger mentioned, he could be announcing his engagement to Cheryl Crow. Whatever it is, it's just like him to something like this to get into peoples heads.
Second, and the largest bomb dropped today is the ESPN article about Lance's previous personal assistant, Mike Anderson and his allegation that Armstrong is a cheat. 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.
Anderson said he put the box back in the medicine cabinet where he found it. Fearing he would be fired, he said he did not confront Armstrong about it. He said he looked for the box again after Armstrong left Girona to train in the Canary Islands, but didn't find it.
In the article Armstrong mentions the press will have to wait 2 weeks time and that he has to talk to the press and tell them something important. I'm wondering if he is meaning the announcement in Georgia? And if so, will it be about the steroids or about the other items I've mentioned.
And third, Lance was in Italy to meet with a magistrate in Lucca about the Simeoni case. The short of the case is that Lance called him a liar because of stuff Simeoni said about a doctor Lance previous worked with and now Simeoni is suing Lance. The interesting part about this news is the addition claim that Armstrong asked then-Domina Vacanze rider Mario Cippollini to apply pressure so Simeoni would be sacked.
Juicy stuff!
