I cruised over to the DC Tumblr page as I settled in for my post ride recovery beer(s) this evening. Although I’m not quite sure what this thing is all about, I do know that Big Jonny does a hell of a job putting up badass images and commentary. This little blurb caught my eye: I have this [...]

Ullrich confession imminent?
To say he’s got a lot to talk about may be the greatest understatement of the century. Former Tour de France champion Jan Ullrich of Germany appears ready to come clean at last and confess to doping in his career, his manager Falk Nier suggested on Tuesday ahead of an expected Court of Arbitration for [...]
Suspicion & Armstrong go together like peanut butter & toast
I read this on the Velonews comment section back in February and thought it was worth sharing… Hey, I’ve been busy! From 1996 to 2005, which includes the seven years of Armstrong’s dominance and the three years before, there were 13 different cyclists who occupied the top three positions in the Tour de France. Excluding [...]
The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son
Unless, of course, they’re both guilty as hell. Lance Armstrong is receiving training advice from the son of banned Italian physician Michele Ferrari, the doctor says. Responding to allegations that appeared in Italian media this week linking him to the center of a widespread doping ring, Ferrari denied any wrongdoing in a statement posted online [...]
Compassion socks
Walking around Leadville I was starting to notice these things hugging peoples calves, so I started firing off some shots- I hope they help do something fantastic because they look ridiculous.
One nut, seven Tours, no steroids
I got this in February. Really. It was buried in a draft folder for months. Hey, I’ve had a busy summer! I’ll get it cleaned up, I promise. Right after I sort out the garage. Which is an absolute train wreck. I digress… Thought you’d enjoy the billboard that went up across NZ yesterday. It’s [...]

I like me some Wiggo
I hope to see a lot out of the lad this July. From: Jean-Marie Read this: As he won the “Critérium du Dauphiné” today, Wiggins declared that Contador on the Tour was not a good thing this year. “It’s not a good thing that a guy tested positive four times may be allowed to race. [...]
“This, to me, is a game-changer.”
What’s the latest being thrown around? Two words: Witness, and Tampering. Yeah, file that one under really bad idea. Witness tampering is the real deal. (18 U.S.C. § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/718/usc_sec_18_00001512—-000-.html.) Tyler Hamilton’s lawyers on Monday formally notified federal authorities about a weekend incident they consider to be [...]
Phil Zajicek admits doping and cover-up
I just got a heads up text message from my man Fitty. Zajicek. Suspended. For. Life. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has announced the life-time suspension of former Fly V Australia rider Phil Zajicek after he admitted to a second doping offense for purchasing erythropoietin (EPO), and a third doping offense for providing false testimony at [...]
Tyler Hamilton on 60 Minutes
Boom goes the dynamite. Lance Armstrong just got eviscerated by 60 Minutes. We already know that former teammate Tyler Hamilton said that he saw Armstrong take EPO, testosterone, and a blood transfusion during the Tour de France. CBS also says that George Hincapie told a grand jury that he saw it too. But the most [...]
