    Canyon service

    Yes that is part of consumer law in the European Union. "If an item you bought in the EU does not look or work as advertised, the seller must repair or replace it free of charge, or give you a refund. A two-year guarantee applies from the date of purchase or delivery."

    Canyon service

    Well, in some european countries, among them Germany I believe, it is the seller (Canyon) who should warrant it.

    190mm Stem

    The stem stem from 2007, when Kashechkin rode a BMC, like the one Floyd used above. It's made by Rotor. It used to be Astana-blue.

    Track star to GT hero

    Hnault has a few National titles in the IP as a young man (74-76). I think he also contested a world championship on the track (74) as well but failed. He was also keen to turn pro in 75, so he couldn't be forced into the 76 olympic team. His aim was bigger than the olympics.

    Pantani, Zulle, Ullrich, Rumsas, Vinokourov, Basso, Hamilton, Landis, Valverde, Virenque, Mayo, Rasmussen, Mancebo... Yes its seems your boy was unfairly treated. No one else got busted or got their career's derailed.

    The Scapegoat

    Oh, boy. This charming man again. He had 4 strikes. April 2006, april 2007, june 2007, june 2007. The strikes in june cannot, without serious bias, be counted as one. One was Danish testers failing to find him where he said he was, one was notifying uci of changes in whereabouts to late. He...

    A definite list? To few scandinavians, a few more (and a fin)! 94 Juha Mieto Fin 94 Sven-Åke Lundbäck Swe 92 Per Elofsson Swe 90 Tomas Wassberg Swe All cross country skiers My favourite that sums up the discussion nicely is Bernard Hinaults claim of 93.5, then cue Lemond claiming his would be...

    Blood Doping in 1960!

    I think it's safe to say that Lasse Viren blood doped both 72 and 76. Not illegal at the time but frowned upon. Lasse now drives a bus. Joop Zoetemelk did blood transfusion during the tour 75 according to Friebes The Cannibal. On doctors order - anemia. Joop was uneasy with it and didn't do it...

    Bike doping

    FES been around long before Barcelona. Part of the marginal gains thing of the DDR. By the way, Zabel rode a FES "Colnago" at times. And Ulrich a FES "Giant". And half the peloton rode Cyfac "other brands" during the 90's. My take is that Trek, specialized, giant probably bought an UKSI...

    Best all-round wheelset in this years tour?

    Campa Hyperon, TVs mountain wheels of choice. (And Pozzato has done Paris - Roubaix on them). Is that all-round enough?

    Guardian: WADA study shows cycling still the worst

    Weight lifting, number 1 dirty sport. However table tennis and archery has a bigger drug problem than either athletics, swimming, rowing, and canoeing. Makes me skeptical.

    Mr X Revealed

    I was just quoting the doctor that MI linked. To try and answer the question why not everybody is using insulin to cycle faster.
