Is this the Hombre from Daily Peloton Forums and Cycling Forums?
In the Austin 360 there is mention of a Gary Seghi who is a Chiropractic in Austin that happened to be on the original folks who helped Armstrong with his foundation. Here is the quote. "Among the most touching mementoes is a table with five chairs from Z’ Tejas, representing the place where Armstrong first dreamed up LiveStrong with Bill Stapleton, Bart Knaggs, Gary Seghi and John Korioth over lunch. Even the menu is there."
So much information from Hombre at the DPF site. He made claims to have worked with Armstrong. On this Gary Seghi's chiropractic web site it mentions these accomplishments.

Here are some quotes on various message boards by Hombre / Bobke / Hombredesubaru.
"If my kid can put out 400 watts up a 10 minute climb and he isnt even a Cat 1 yet, Lance and the other boys certainly can do more."
"I'll let you know when he makes the US team which is his plan.His AT is not at 400... yet His very hard effort on a very steep and variable gradient climb was 390-400 watts over 10 minutes.His AT is probably 340-360.He had not had VO2 testing yet, although that may happen soon."
Time and time again Hombre claiming to be a doctor and to have a son who is kicking ass and putting out wattage numbers that would slam most pro's.
This is an exchange with another poster on the Daily Peloton Forums.

"I am sufficiently in position to state unequivocally that your numerous observations regarding cardiology and physiology are very frequently false. This was observed by scores of others as well. I am also in position to state that you seem to interpret medical facts on the basis of affinity to a certain rider you seem to have extreme fondness for while belittling physiology of those you dislike. If you are interested in the specifics we can rehash it but perhaps not here."

I'll go tot to toe with anybody any day on cardiology thank you very much.But why is the tone so snippy here these days?Geez.And what are these bogus "we've told you a million times about the passport."Some serious OMS going on here guys.Lighten up.You would be screaming and fuming if they WEREN'T testing him.I merely point out they ARE testing him and it throws you into convulsions.
Memorable quotes from the Inside magazine article about Gary Seghi crash with a big truck!
"In 1982, while training for a national bike event, an 18-wheeler hit Seghi at an estimated 70 to 80 miles per hour, leaving his body’s imprint permanently indented in the truck’s grill."
Hell he made a comeback just like Lance Armstrong.

You can make up your own mind who this "Hombre" / "Bobke" / "Hombredesubaru" is but I think once the searches are done on archived posts made by the "Hombre" those posts will speak for themselves.
