    Pulling a Wiggins

    Re: Re: i agree. for me all i wanted to known is if he lost weight. now i know that he did lose weight, so my curiosity is satisfied that he did get performance enhancing gains from the triamcinolone injection. and the interesting thing is that he "complains" now of losing "too much" weight...

    Albasini racist?

    Reza is not the only black rider in the peloton (he is not the only black rider in the tour de france either) but there are so few black riders arouond in european (and south american) races that it makes it very difficult for them to make their voices heard in situations like the Albasini...

    UCI helped Froome with illegal(?) TUE at Romandie
