Remember the Doctor who went nuts:

From: Bikedawg:
The “Not so good Doc” & his 1st day in court. Nice to see some attempted local coverage & cyclists there to greet the Sum Bitch!

Then there’s the refreshing Sven:

Great article on Svein Tuft and his road to pro cycling:

Interesting story that I figured you would enjoy.  Here is a good tidbit:

Svein was driven to despair by the number of cyclists he discovered using performance enhancing drugs. When asked if he was ever tempted to go down the doping road, Svein’s answer is a terse “No.”

Suppliers who provide drugs to riders get a percentage of that rider’s salary and winnings, so it’s almost impossible to cycle competitively without being offered drugs.

Yes, I was only on the verge of the doping circle as a competitive cat-1 cyclist. I never saw the interactions, but I saw plenty of evidence of doping on the national (and sometimes regional) level. I would imagine doping would be hard to refuse through the last decade+ of cycling. It’s just the way it was. If Sven is no bullshit, which I think he is, it’s good to see there is some home-grown morality in the world.

And last on the list, for when you need a bed-time story:
