Daily Terrorgraph today - 3 teams admit they've been named - Canberra, Penrith and North Queensland Cowboys. 10 have said they have been cleared. No responses from Manly, Cronulla, Newcastle and the Auckland Warriors.

Actually its more than 2 players. Essendon is a club that has been very successful in the past. And wrt rugby league, 6 clubs are implicated but have not yet been named (in a 16? team competition) Basically the 2 major winter football codes have been implicated.

Greg Baum has set those filthy cyclists straight while maintaining the purity that is top level tennis. I fear Greg Baum has not looked at the analysis at http://tennishasasteroidproblem.blogspot.com.au/

Drug testing? Do they drug test at the post tour criteriums?

Depends whether the NSW Police set up an RBT site on President Avenue. Or the dog squad takes the drug detection dogs to Cronulla Station. Otherwise you can expect the same controls as a post tour criterium.

Gee. Back in the day Jan Ullrich would be accused of being fat and lazy because he would gain some weight during the brief time where he had a break from the bike and we would hear about how Armstrong was out there busting his **** 6 hours a day and hence Lance was morally superior and deserved...

I believe him Brad McGee rode for FdJ, one of the French teams that was antidoping and was outspoken about doping throughout his career. And there were never any suspicions around him, unlike some other Australian riders. And lets stick the SMH article up Dopers stole the best years of my life...

How come Popvych gets off? House searched by Italian police in 2010 for information relating to a doping investigation. Significant drop in performance between his time on Discovery and his time supporting Cadel at Lotto. And he rediscovered his form once he returned to Astana...

10 years ago, we were ahving a similar debate about 7's coverage of the TDU on aus.bicycle. At that time 7 did not show it outside South Australia. Now, on another commercial station, the highlights are shown at whatever time 9 decides. They are playing the same games with the TDU that they do...

It depends whether you are running a browser with AdBlock installed or not. I installed AdBlock Plus for Chrome and rediscovered a whole lot of screen real estate that I had been missing. Thank you Future Publishing for forcing me to do this. I'll be leaving Adblock Plus in place until Future...

I could not think of a worse broadcaster to have the TV rights than channel 9. there is a good reason why Channel 9 has been losing the ratings to channel 7. A lot of it is tied up with what they program and when (endless repeats of 2 1/2/ men ....) I know a lot of SBS viewers are annoyed by...

In 2000 Channel 7 switched to basketball just as Ullrich went up the road on the final lap. Fantastic attack on the Bronte hill, big ringed it all the way up. Vino jumped across, then Klodi. Armstrong was caught on the back of the main bunch. In fact it was generally confusing tactics by the US...

The Wire It was shown on ABC2 late on a Friday night this year. As an example (the following contains language) Bunk and Mcnulty investigate the scene of a shooting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQbsnSVM1zM

http://www.dhbc.org.au/ http://www.randwickbotanycc.com and http://www.sydneycyclingclub.org.au/scc/ Randwick Botany races every week at Heffron Park Maroubra. There is also St George Cycling Club who race weekly over winter at Oatley Park and have track events year round...

A lot of the St George locals recommend http://www.peterbundycycles.com.au/about/ I've used http://www.tbsm.com.au and have had some good wheels built there in the past. They used to be an off road specialist shop but with their move to larger premises, they how have a much wider range. Closer...
