I am volunteering as a traveling course marshal for the first time ever here at the Tour of Missouri and I am having a blast!!! I want to thank anybody who e-mailed or called the Gov. in support. I have been at it for two days now and I just wanted to comment on how great the crowds are. They...

the test How well tested are the tests for doping? Who came up with them? Did they ever try to test what can create a false positive? Is that not part of science and testing a theory to move it to fact? (I think I am right on that but then again my 20 year high school reunion is this year:))...

l'crap I find it odd that they are leaked info before riders are ever informed that they have tested positive (i.e.Landis &Vino) by the same French lab. If this was your Dr. leaking you info you could sue his pants off. Here is another example of their shady "reporting". My step daughter who...

thanks-I am not a facebooker either so I am new at this.

Am I crazy or did I not just watch a race where Astana rode like they were out for Sunday drive to the point that Contador even went back to team car to complain? Where did Hincappie come up with the idea he was chased but Astana. Maybe Garmin & the yellow jersey's team but not Astana. Maybe...

L Equipe Does the name of L Equipe magazine mean National Enquirer or Tabloid Crap in English?

I am glad to hear you are a cycling supporter. So I apologize for assuming or inferring otherwise. The answer to your first closing question is - At the point it is no longer profitable or it is 100% self sustaining from start to finish. I see no harm in the state initially investing if...

Tax Qs & politics Tour of MO RAPISTWIT- I am wondering if you saw my last relply concerning the some finanical details or if you even read it. I am also wondering why you are on a cycling forum of any kind because I don't feel you support cycling with some of your comments. If you did not...

MO Race & Tax ?????? Interesting how quickly a topic can evolve from one thing to another. The deal is that the Tour of MO race cost approx $3.1 mil to put on. The Dept. of Tourism (which a lot of states have) invest $1.5 mil. The rest is paid for in sponsership. The revenue generated from...

Just got the word. Tour Of Missouri's funding just got released! The Tour of Missouri will go on!!!!!! To those of you who e-mailed Governor Nixon : Thanks sooooo much. Please come check this event out. Missouri has something for everyone- a little KC BBQ and some Herman wines and MO...

According to an article posted on the web by the St.Louis Post Dispatch(stltoday.com) Jul 11,2009 Lance Armstrong & Astana plus Hincapie & Vandevelde took the time to Twitter in support of the race. Astana is one of the teams that will be present as well as Garmin & Columbia. I am excited they...

Please check out http://www.tourdemissouri.com. It was just announced that Governor Jay Nixon is freezing the money set aside for the tour and may decide to cancel it. This is a big deal. There are several big name teams already registered to ride such as Astana,Columbia, & Garmin and yes...

Mr. WhiteBoyTrash-Very irresponsible of you to even mention doping. Was this your practice writing in hopes of getting on LeEquipe or the National Enquirer staff? I don't care whether you like or dislike Lance or Astana. Making comments like that when there is no validity is hurtful to an...
