I don’t even know what to say about this.
Rock Racing. Tour of Qinghai Lake. Tyler Hamilton. Winning.
Shudder.
Yeah, dude, I’m not a fan anymore.

Ricco goes out for testing positive for a new kind of EPO. While in the climber’s jersey, as well as in the lead of the young rider’s competition. And, of course, after having run his mouth in the press about how awesome he is.
Well, is that what happens when Marco Pantani is your hero? Jackass.
And […]

“…They will rely in part on Thomas’ body features to prove she used steroids…”
Tomorrow, the inaugural trial relating to BALCO steroid blabittybla begins, with the first subject being cyclist Tammy Thomas.
The photos are not encouraging, and I haven’t even picked the worst ones, because I’m just not that mean.

“Hamilton to Rock Racing”
December 21, 2007 | 1 Comment
It’s too good.
Rock Racing had already had gained the full mockery/jealousy of the pros by the time I went out to Cali last March to help my pals at the Redlands race. At the time, it was due to the fact that they showed up to races in Cadillac SUVs and had frequent team kit […]

Though it’s been a few weeks since the announcement that the Discovery Channel pro cycling team will be disbanding at the end of this season, I’ve found myself unable to disengage my grinding molars every time I read some comment that the team was “unable” to find a sponsor. Try “unwilling”! Jeez.
Lately, I find my […]

I keep reading people’s responses to the Discovery pro cycling team deciding to disband at the end of the season. There seems to be a great misunderstanding as regards their choice. “It’s a shame they couldn’t get funding,” people say, “especially after eight Tour wins.” Nope, that’s not the problem.
It sounds like they had funding […]

Announcements galore in the world of professional cycling: this stuff is lots and lots of fun for me. I had a hearty giggle over my keyboard this morning.
1) Alberto Contador, surprisingly, held a press conference specifically and singly to deny doping charges. He offers to present a DNA sample to the appropriate party. That’s a […]

Less cycling, more doping!
August 8, 2007 | 3 Comments
Another busy week for those who would prefer to read about bike races, but instead are forced to read about cycling scandals.
Andrey Kashechkin, number three, I suppose, at Astana, has tested positive for blood doping. Like I’m surprised.
T-Mobile will announce tomorrow whether or not it will continue sponsorship of a cycling team. Don’t forget, folks, […]

This just in:
Officials with Kazakhstan’s cycling federation on Tuesday expressed staunch support for Alexander Vinokourov who was excluded from the Tour de France following a positive test for blood doping.
“We are going to support the position that the results of the A and B samples were a direct result of the violent fall Alexander suffered […]
