here’s a radio show from RTE radio, featuring my friend and fellow journo Shane Stokes answering the points raised by LA’s lawyer Sean Breen in an earlier interview on RTE, in which Breen brands USADA a ‘rogue organisation’. LA has still got his defense team banging their increasingly threadbare drums and claiming that riders that gave testimony were given sweeteners to encourage them to lie about LA. Breen goes as far as to say that ‘the Christians had more chance against the lions’ than athletes have against USADA.

‘you can put lipstick on a pig, but it still remains a pig,’ was one of the more intelligent and truthful points that Breen made…

Shane gives an informed, reasoned and thorough rebuff to each of Breen’s points.

worth a listen.
