Speaking of dopers, the International Court for Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected Alejandro Valverde’s challenge to his two-year suspension from racing on Italian soil. Further, should the UCI decide to pursue this matter more openly, Valverde could face a global racing ban for up to two years.
CONI investigators had acquired blood samples seized as [...]

So Rock’s Dead and Flyod’s racing for Bahati Foundation Team. Never saw that one coming. I figured Floyd would be answering a few questions for Inspector Clouseau right about now or giving up racing to work for The Geek Squad, seeing as he’s dabling in IT these days…
Landis will serve two roles – as [...]

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d fuck ‘em. Make it a great day!

Yeah, that should help. Mmmmmonday!

A tip of the hat and a raise of the glass to the U of A cycling team for putting on an impressive race and for getting on the box this past weekend. David Glick of RideClean occupied the top step in the Men’s A field and former Luna Chix Chloe Forsman topped the box, [...]

Flock together, or so the saying goes…
Ricco’s babymomma tests positive for CERA. Shit, that’s soooo 2008! What, was there some juice leftover from ‘08 in the bottom of Ricardo’s gear bag?
Think what you will, but I’m not so convinced The Cobra learned his lesson, let alone repent for his sins. Should he return to the [...]

Damn the man! Hiding from reality under the covers this mornin, I decided I was working from home. What about work? Shit, I’m about one TPS Report away from hiding an open can of sardine’s in my boss’ office. Fugg ‘em. Coupled with the fact that my MBA program kicks off this weekend with a [...]

Despite what opinions you might harbor regarding ‘ol one nut and his entourage, hearing about what Lance, Johan, et al. did for Fatty speaks volumes. Volumes. It’s not every day that someone’s invited to attend a team training camp and mingle among the team, pro’s and staff alike. Reading all about this just gives me [...]

Appears that Spanish authorities uncovered yet another doping ring and arrested an acquaintance of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes who was also formerly associated with the Kelme squad. A number of athletes were taken into custody, including cyclists and…. a prominent Spanish race walker.
A race walker? Are you fuggin serious? I’ve heard rumblings of pro golfers hitting [...]

And shove it! Looks like the mgmt of Silence Lotto, or whadeva the fuck their name is this season, stepped on ‘ol Cadel’s poochie. With all of the rumors circulating post Tour and Cadel even questioning his own future with the team, it appears he decided to part ways. Hopefully he’ll find a team [...]

It’s that time of year in which the headlines are rife with H1N1 talk and everyone’s praying that they don’t become infected. There are a host of ways to protect yourself such as washing your hands vigorously, opening doors with your shirt sleeve and even wearing a mask. Although, there is a certain stigma associated [...]

Shit. Fuck. Hell. Hate to hear this, specially when it happens in my town.
Thoughts, prayers and get well wishes with all those involved.

It’s a shame that any outstanding performances these days fall under suspicion. While watching the Giro, I couldn’t help but wonder about the efforts of Di Luca and Menchov, but now it appears we know why. Di Luca tests positive for Cera twice in the Giro. Dude, that shit is soooooo 2008.

Boonen throws in the towel and blames stellar performance on a virus. A virus, huh? Seems more like withdrawl’s a bitch.

Grabbin a bite at the local cafe pre-ride and heard some shit come flying up. The usual roadie hangout awash in prima donas clad in Assos, coffee cache riders, and recumbants seemed agast. WTF is that? Torn from a scene of Inspector Gadget, this douche comes tearing up on his bike with a propellar pack.

Dude [...]

Make of it what you will, but have a safe and happy 4th of July.  Me? Taking the wife and dogs camping. So, what better way to check the msr stove than in the kitchen this morning. After a quick safety check I had no qualms about setting ‘er up on the kitchen floor. Meh. [...]

What’s this? Smart planning, you say?
Residents in Vauban, Germany have litterally given up their cars.
Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the Swiss border. Vauban’s streets are completely “car-free” — except the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, and [...]

So the fellas organized a little road trip. Grandose thoughts of attendance entertained my mind. New terrain under the wheels would be nice. But not this time. Second week into a new jib, the chance to impress with what little talent I have and the culmination of one grad class meant I’d be sitting behind [...]

Seems Rebellin has some explaining to do, and maybe the former Gerolsteiner team manager, too! Davide Rebellin’s former teammates Bernie Kohl and Stephan Schumacher already tested positive for CERA, and now La Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that Rebellin tested positive from the Olympics. Fucking dopers.
