Remember Mike Anderson?

I do. I called him something mean like “underwear washer” at one point in 2005 (old html site NFSW). Yeah, sorry about that, buddy. We just try to keep it funny around here. Some background: – Armstrong: ‘not going to pay blackmail’. – Armstrong assistant files response to suit. – Armstrong responds to Anderson counterclaim [...]

“Big Tex is going to jail.”

Landis says yes. I’m not as convinced. Maybe he is. Maybe he isn’t. We’ll see. Landis said he is admitting his own drug use and implicating other cyclists to “clear my conscience.” If his allegations are true, they are some of the most damning in the history of cycling. And the information contained in various [...]

Has Floyd Landis commited perjury?

And, if so, what are the possible consequences? Small study break thoughts as follows. (yes, I’m dumb enough to enroll in summer school) Back in May of 2007, Mr. Landis testified at an arbitration hearing in California. I’ve not seen an “official” transcript from the proceedings, but I’m pretty sure Landis said, under oath, that [...]

The Landis Letters

I believe this to be a copy of the now infamous Floyd Landis email. Any misspellings or typos original. 2002: I was instructed on how to use Testosterone patches by Johan Bruyneel during the During the Dauphine Libere in June, after which I flew on a helicopter with Mr Armstrong from the finish, I believe [...]

About that shoe…

It just dropped. And it weighs 900 pounds. Floyd Landis, the American cyclist whose 2006 Tour De France victory was nullified after a positive doping test, has sent a series of emails to cycling officials and sponsors admitting to, and detailing, his systematic use of performance enhancing drugs during his career. The emails also claim [...]

The Other Shoe…

We’re taking wet blanket heavy, folks. Taking a time out from writing an in-class final for my MBA, I stumbled upon this little gem. So, Landis’ earlier veiled threats of writing a book while living behind a shack or some shit like that might just be coming out… From CyclingNews.com Cyclingnews.com has been sent a [...]

Pretty in pink

I don’t like the drugs, but the drugs like me

Marilyn Manson reference aside (or maybe included), this shit is completely retarded. Franco Pellizotti, second in last year’s Giro d’Italia and winner of the polka-dot jersey in the 2009 Tour de France, will not start this year’s Giro after the UCI alleged that a check of his so-called biological passport found “abnormal values.” The Italian [...]

Two Wheeled Tuesday

Needed a little study break from the books so headed out with some of the Fly V Australia riders this morning to stretch the legs. Boys were passing thru town, fresh off a Victory at La Vuelta de Bisbee, and now on their way to Tour of Gila. Damn nice bunch and awfully friendly. Sure [...]

They actually booed him

My first reaction to reading Vino had won L-B-L this morning was, “Oh god damn it.” Now I see I was not alone in that assessment. The fans actually booed him as he crossed the line. Nothing like a fine welcome back for a previous winner (in 2005) of the event. Despite getting booed as [...]

The Shack rollin’ dirty

Clenbuterol. Go figure. The UCI has issued a provisional suspension of RadioShack rider Fuyu Li after he tested positive for the stimulant Clenbuterol at last month’s Tour of Flanders. According to a UCI statement issued Thursday, a urine sample submitted by the Chinese rider ahead of the cobbled classic was tested at the WADA accredited [...]

Game recognize game

Sport Illustrated (SI.com) has an interesting little read up about the stain on Spain. Five years ago, after a picturesque but particularly tough ride in the French Alps, the soon-to-be seven-time winner of the Tour de France declared that Alejandro Valverde had all the makings of cycling’s Next Big Thing. . . . In fact, [...]
