I really thought that Wiggins comments were strange. I won the Tour and everything else last year, now this year, I wan to just win the Giro. Seems odd to me.

It appears odd to me that the witness spoken to by NPR did not know what agency of the US government was doing the investigation.

It would seem that in attempting to look at doping from a game theory standpoint you have to make an assumption of rationality, and I am not sure that I am willing to accept the behaviors of a great number of pro cyclists or their management as rational.

One thing that occurs to me, I don't really follow other Olympic sports, do other sports have the same issues with WADA that UCI seems to have? Its telling to me that UCI has been on the outs with WADA since before day one. Its just been a head butting conflict for since WADA's inception.

I am thinking that Ashenden is one of those PhD types who do not thrive in situations that require compromise and political operating. He is more of the this is right and that is wrong type of personality. The sphere that CCN works in is a more pragmatic and political system, where your have to...

Well ain't that just the cats meow. I somehow suspected after seeing the limited scope in the terms, that the UCIIC was a paper lion with its teeth removed. The Commission tried to grow some teeth and UCI maneuvered to disband. Now lets see, what do you suppose the odds are that any internal UCI...

She is in an industry that is nothing more than glitz and glimmer. They sell dreams everyday. I cannot believe anybody expected anything more.

I think that whats needed is a true independent authority review - Could CAS be contracted to do a full audit of UCI operations? There is just no way for UCI to self police, and cycle racing is not going to survive in any form that is recognizable without some way for sponsors and fans to feel...

From the abstract of the journal document "These data indicate that ECH supplementation resulted in an increase in EPO and IL-3 but did not significantly alter RBCs, Hb, or Hct. " In short, it doesn't work

Hell, would not surprise me if he just denied all, tells how there is not proof, just bitter ex-rivals who cheated and lied about THE LANCE so they would not have to pay the price for their cheating.

At least he was not afraid to share the wealth. What a great humanitarian!

I think that he must add in how in his early days that he did use drugs (B.C).), then when he came back he needed to use to very same drugs that saved his life to compete on the level table and continue the fight against cancer(AC). What happened to me was BC I was selfish, but AC I reformed and...

I cannot connect to the website - is it down? Has Watson created an issue?

I have to disagree with Aleajacctaest here. UCI cannot and should not be the anti-drug enforcement agency for cycling. Their stated role is to further cycling. A positive test to a "name rider" is a detriment to cycling so thats an automatic conflict of interest. Think about it, when a star is...
