Holy carp, the investigation is going full steam! Looks like it's anybody's race now…

Holy Crap! That is bad news for the tour and pro cycling in general. Going to be hard to recover from this one.

I learned the hard way to towel off my bike before the dog. I'd rather have a slightly oily dog than a hairy bike.

Beautiful west coast, ocean inspired pottery.

I don't usually yell at my computer but when I saw http://www.velonews.com/tour2006/news/articles/10176.0.html
I was in shock….not jumping to any conclusions but wow! Cycling can't be the dirtiest sport but it sure seems to have the biggest urge to spotlight druggies.

On a side note, it is quite remarkable to notice the timing of Armstrong [HTML_REMOVED] Indurain's retirements. Both went out waay on top one season before the drug heat got cranked waaay up. could they both be psychics?

It's sad in any event….but if they let Vino ride it could be his year!!!!
w/out Basso [HTML_REMOVED] Ulrich I'm suddenly waay less interested in following the tour so hopefully there will be some great (non drug-related charges).

All this from a single doping ring. I can't help but think that this is not the only one out there. Can you say "tip of the iceberg"?
