Kohl on the redemption path or whatever.
It’s an about face for the Austrian, who initially denied having used CERA during the Tour before admitting his misdemeanour and allegedly telling French sports daily L’Equipe that the top 10 rider in last year’s Tour de France were doped.
“I succumbed to temptation. The pressure was incredibly strong. I [...]

I want to start this one off with a little trip created by photographer Kieth Loutit out of Austrailia. 

I find that previous visual somewhat apropos considering the next nugget (pun) of news dished up by more than a few, but most memorably the quote went something like…
 
“…messing with drugs can only lead downhill…”
Ha ha, oh man, my [...]

Shindaggers on Thursday. It was Satisfactory. Slight bruising. De la Garza was up on the mic at one point, I think that’s were it went to eleven. Then they pulled more punk into the rock towards the end of it. I always like that. Persons bounce. Boots stomp. Flip-flops worry. Good times.

Friday I made [...]

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.

I believe Tyler… was doped to the gills.
I recently was able to secure purchase of the domain name ibelievetyler.com. I picked up the dot net version three or four of five years ago, mostly on a whim, and subsequently made a collection of “I believe” sites. (See ibelievefloyd.com, ibelievemayo.com, ibelieverasmussen.com, ibelievethechicken.com, ibelievevino.com.) [...]

Yes folks, it’s true. Big J is an inspiration to me, and with the recent loss of my job, and my lack of possible job opportunities where I live, I have decided to go back to school, and get my JD. This is the plan at least. Of course, first I have to get into [...]

Re: The Armstrong/Kimmage exchange
Editor,
Speaking for myself as one of the many “around the world affected by (cancer),” (In my childhood, cancer claimed my father, and later on, my sister as well.) I hold nothing against Mr. [...]

I’ve been getting some emails of later regarding one Paul Kimmage. For the record, I happen to agree with just about everything the man said. Back in September and last week at the Tour of California. Armstrong is over. It’s time for something new.

No doubt, most of you out there have seen this little item about Jonathan Page missing a drug test post race after a recent outing. When reading the article, you see that, the Page’s have a ton of excuses about “why” Mr. Page missed his doping test after the race. He crashed. He didn’t finish [...]
