Back to the masters racing thing as I was listening to the below vid this morning - I agree with KW it's laughable. It's ridiculous to think that I will soon soon be able to compete for "world championships" at the age of 35. Dudes like Kenny Williams are the perfect example. Altitude tents and doping for guys not that old but not good enough to be pro. Age group categories should end when you finish U23.

See 1:30 in the video.

And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

That's rather stylish, even if the amount of Celeste is unsatisfactory.

I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

That's why I'm spending much more time on sites like cyclingtips, inrng, etc. There's actually some thought that goes into journalism and writing.

You realise cyclingtips were one of the first to re-post the 'story' first right? :|
