Andy ate a burger -big deal!

I just came across this -

Along with headlines screaming "Andy Schleck has relapse in Belgian Burger bar", or some similar rubbish.

This dates back to August of this year, so I'm well behind the times as usual, but it made me laugh while rolling my eyes, so I thought I'd share it with you.

The somewhat spiteful report seemed to be claiming that Andy has a long-standing problem with burger dependency, had promised not to eat them ever again, but was so weak that he broke his own promise and scoffed a burger.

The report is dated 12th August but there is no clue as to when the photo was taken, other than the fact that he's wearing current RadioShambles kit, so it could be any time in the last year.

Now, I'm sure that all you faithful Schlecklanders will remember the famous "lake" video, where Frankie gleefully describes how much meat they eat - "greeeasy meat, dirrrdy meat" - as part of their general training regime, and I would say that burgers definitely come into that category. So I can't quite see them being on a banned list, unless actually mid-race, perhaps.

And there is no proof anywhere in the report or the photo - taken by "our mobile reporter", or more likely, some Andy-hater with a mobile phone who thought they'd make a quick buck from selling the photo - that he's actually ordering burgers, he could just as easily be on a training ride and in need of a cold drink, or a coffee: or even just the use of the loos.

So I don't have a lot of respect for this report.

But hey, it's a picture of Andy that I haven't seen before, so it's worth sharing!
