Millar's all right by me +1 Read the book "In Search of Robert Millar" before saying he's not qualified. Gray areas and all.

Armstrong dropped from World Business Forum México DF 2012 That bit at the bottom of the page, at the bottom of the bit where the fotos of the speakers are, the white bit. www.wobi.com/es/event/world-business-forum-m%C3%A9xico-df-2012 The empty bit. That's Lance's foto. Was.

Next question I always had a soft spot for Induraín, he always came across as being a gent, then and now, and judging from his past and present comments it would seem to be quite clear that he became heavily disenchanted with professional cycling. I can remember him referring to it as a "just a...

So, Lance Armstrong may have come to Valencia "many times over the last 15 years" on weekends away with his wife. Thanks, my curiousity has been sated.....

Oranges and paellas Now, memory is not so hot, but... I do remember following Armstrong's 1998 season and being very impressed, especially with his 4th place in La Vuelta. He wasn't making a great deal of noise and the press, as I remember, wasn't really paying much attention to him, but I...

All of this, plus running a business and it taking me an hour to get out of the city onto decent roads. The rest of life took up my time :(

Maybe McQuaid's criticism hit a nerve Today's El País has published a story headlined "Cyclist uncovers doping network" (see here), in which it reports that a "professional cyclist" resident in Olot (Girona) reported the reception of an email -via which he was offered PEDs- to the Catalonia...

A common mistake: Today, Spain is a constitutional monarchy. King Juan Carlos I, the current monarch, is Head of State. The Head of Government (Prime Minister) has the official title of President of the Government. In relation to Zapatero's unusual, not to say inappropriate, tweet in support...
