My first email this morning(ish) had this link:Tour de France hit by massive doping scandal
Damn those stoners on bikes.(it's rather rich that I'm complaining)
My friend A.B. refers to them as the "Thunderous Thighs of Europe", I'm in it for the garish colours, the scenery, improving my babelfish French skills and best of all, the crashes. (I also think it's brilliant that the whole Peloton jumps off their bikes at the same time to pee in the woods.)
Fuck them all for picking on Lance all these years.
From the golden years of Benzedrine and Champagne.
Is that Ullrich on the right? Great image....looks like a slice of action on the Pyrenees. What to do with that bottle of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne?
Too early for drunken Jan. It's an image from 1960.
Conflicting reports on whether Alexander Vinokourov is out of the tour because 5 members of Astaná-Wuerth have been implicated on suspected doping violations, (so there isn't the regulation amount of riders left on his team.)
According to Christian Prudhomme on the official tour site:
“Several riders from this team — some selected for the Tour, some not — are implicated. The number of names appearing on this list can lead us to believe that it is an organized doping system within the team. I wish that we had received this list 24 hours earlier. The Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision would surely have been different.” (on the 29th, they had ruled in favour of allowing Astaná-Wuerth to compete)
Vinokourov was on team mobile last year, but wore his Kazakhstan champion colours to piss off Jan Ullrich. (who rides his bike shitfaced, therefore I am his fan)
The strange thing is there are no positive test results reported so far for any of these riders, its all based on a Spanish investigation of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes, a Dr. Feelgood-Winbig for cyclists, and his secret coded list.
Do I ride a bike, you might ask? Fuck no, I could hurt myself out there in the sun. I could bump into a bumble bee and have a major mental collapse. (I don't even wake up in the morning to watch the race live, I set my VCR to OLN and watch it later in the afternoon)

Glad you brought that up, Buff McAbbs . That commercial is so fucking weird. If the man had a spark of gleeful triumphant evil, it may have had some charm, but Ben Johnson still has these big frightened puppy dog eyes.
Years ago, when I was waitressing, he came into the restaurant with a bunch of people and was seated in my section, but I started crying in the kitchen because he had such sad eyes, so my boss sent me home. (oddly enough, drugs were involved in that story too)
actually i've never even seen that commercial. someone described it to me while telling me about me about Frank D'Angelo. if you thought this soon to be crowned king of bad taste is a one hit wonder, check out his choice of theme song for a breast cancer charity cd his brewery is releasing ....WTF?
