No I don't think so. If you repeat something libelous you're as culpable as the original source.

Perhaps he did ask, perhaps Tiernan-Locke responded and perhaps Benson couldn't confirm the claims made by Tiernan-Locke, so he decided not to publish the claims. Ah, the pitfalls of being a journalist compared to the noble surroundings of a libellous doping forum.

They haven't. It's being decided by the clubs of Ireland at an EGM on June 15th. Good chance PMcQ will be crawling back to Cycling Ireland at that stage.

From the Irish Independent... However, McQuaid's latest nomination could yet hit a snag. Under article 51 of the UCI constitution, the candidates for the presidency "shall be nominated by the federation of the candidate". As a former president of Cycling Ireland, McQuaid holds an honorary...

interesting interview here by a blogger with Ned Boulting who does the Tour de france on ITV. they talk about a good few things but start to discuss doping in football and cycling towards the end.... http://www.irishpeloton.com/2012/05/cycling-and-football/

What's wrong with calling the Tour of Britain, the Tour of 'Britain'? I don't get that. Over the past two years it has included England, Scotland and Wales. What's the problem? The Tour de France doesn't visit every department every year.

Perhaps it's because his blood values are through the roof again just like in the 2005 Tour when it was recommended he was pulled from the race?

All cycling websites plagiarize off other cycling websites. The original source of cycling news has been lost for eons in an ever-expanding spiral of screenscrapers, copycats and thieves!!

Nicolas, on the stage into Pau during last year's Tour, why did you bother taking part in the bunch sprint for 10th place, when the next stage of the race was the queen stage up the Tourmalet? Would you not have been better served rolling in behind the sprint safely in the bunch, and saving all...

As Landis also said in the interview, all the stuff in it about growing up as a Mennonite is all accurate, and he said he's proud of that part of the book. I'm just kind of fascinated by him now having read the Kimmage transcript.

Well, obviously he misled the buying public in terms of the factual nature of the content. But in terms of a snapshot of where Landis was in his life at that moment and what he felt compelled to lie about to 'fix everything' (as he phrased it in the Kimmage interview), it is still worth a read?

Has anybody read the Floyd Landis book? Is it worth the read? Obviously it's full of lies, but I was thinking, after reading the PK transcript that it may be interesting to compare both texts to see what exactly he felt the need to lie about. Clearly, he denies doping, but I wonder what else...

Hey, it's not my pdf. Don't shoot the messenger. Just if you'd prefer to save it or print out or whatever.
