True. I am pretty far removed from what is actually going on in the
world of pro-cycling. All I have is what I read. Can you fill me in
on what is actually going on?
Thanks.

No, but I'm not pretending to believe those idiots printing all that crap
and actually believing their own blather.
Vandenbrouke has looked pretty bad for a long time. Let's not blame someone
that is obviously mentally disturbed for all of his own problems.
Riss was the winner of the '96 Tour de France - can you prove that the drugs
he claims he used made any difference and that his competition wasn't using
drugs as well?
Quick Step wasn't busted. One of their massuers was hauled in for
questioning and released.
One of the really lousy things about this assault on reason is that if all
of the riders were using drugs save a few you will never be able to identify
who the good guys were and have to accept that it was STILL a level playing
field.
All of these public attacks on those who ADMIT that they've been using
drugs, those breaking the silence, are simply counter productive.
The past is the past and we need to come up with a good fix FOR THE FUTURE
and not cry about spilt milk.

But interestingly Zabel is still credited with the points jersey for that
year !?!

sponsorship of the eponymous team.

Say it, Brother!
As an aside, is there any way of getting cyclingnews.com as an RSS feed?

Short answer is NO
Hmm. I wonder if I should start my site/RSS feed up again?
The trouble is that I travel so much these days though.
