Tuesday update

El Mundo is running a series of articles on cycling history.

Fork failure is not good.

The Chicken squawks again. His CAS verdict is overdue.

Armstrong will be a father again in June.

The CONI report on the Sella case says that Priamo's info and guidance on the use of CERA came from his trainer. No name is given. I want to know who this trainer is. If Sella got a year off his ban, he should have at least named this guy.

Riis badmouths Sastre. No class.

In Portugal, a study of the causes of sudden death in athletes.

Interview with Cristian Fanini: "I don’t like when I have to face the people who speak badly of us because we talk about what is happening with drugs in cycling." Join the club.

Youtube: The Doping Institution

Ryder Hesjedal video blog from Hawaii.

Dave Shields talks about the difficulties he ran into with his book about Saul Raisin. Really too bad, as it is a good book.

UCI propaganda on the fight against doping.

Philip Diegnan interview. Some interesting observations on the semi-old school training methods advocated by Ag2r.

More misplaced hatred for Garmin. He ought to save some of his vitriol for Basso, Di Luca, Petacchi, and all the other post-ban dopers.

Russian track athletes targeted and caught (via DNA) for switching urine samples had initially raised IAAF suspicion by being too compliant with surprise tests. They never were no-shows for unannounced OOC testing and never had their whereabouts wrong. This lack of avoidance of testing actually made the IAAF very suspicious of them, and they were right. The athletes had no need to avoid testing since they were submitting other people's clean urine to the testers. Interesting to consider if such DNA tests to verify the rightful owners of urine samples might be used in other sports as well.

Eugenio Capodacqua is not happy with Armstrong.
