Mayo a doper


You wouldn't believe it Iban Mayo tested positive. This isn't the first time. He has tested positive for testosterone before. He wasn't alone this year in the tour. But I have already talked about the other riders early. As a result his team, Saunier Duvel, has suspended him and will terminate his contract if the B sample comes back positive as well. I will inform you on more information when it arises.

Pereiro's doping? or something like that

Well there is no races that I felt were worth updating you on but I have got some more gossip. Today's gossip surronds Oscar Pereiro's talked about defualt win of the Tour de France if Landis is found guilty. Now Oscar has been underfire recently for if he is award the title of winner. People all say that Floyd was doping because of his tremendous comeback in the mountains, not saying that Floyd is not guilty or is guilty I'm just pointing out facts, people started to say he was doping. Well here is some news Oscar had a 30 minute comeback as well during the tour to become the runner-up. Not only did he do the a simular unthinkable comeback as Landis did its just people blew Landis's comeback out of proportion. It leads me to find that the Europeans are being very hypocritical of any American rider. They are just mad that USA has dominated the beloved tour. I'm thinking that Oscar has been juicing a little as well. But this whole topic is very shady so I'll leave it at that and let you develop your own opinion. But something must be done to end this on going problem within the cycling world.

'Roids again and Cateye Review

Sorry but I'm gonna touch on the steroids topic again. Well Erik Zabel has announced that he will not take part in next years Olympic games in Beijing. Also Michele Scarponi will be banned for 18 months. Operacion Puerto's connections to the cyclist has led the Italian Olympic Committee to place this suspension on Scarponi. Well enough with this doping topic. Well my review on the Dual Wireless Cycling Computer from Cateye is done. I have found that the heart rate monitor opinion was the one I would want. It offers plenty of functions. All the basics are covered quite well. It also has capabilities for keeping TT time, Heart rate functions, laps, and many others. The harness that hold the heart rate monitor is quite comfortable. It is attached to a elastic strap which holds the measuring pads efficiently against your chest. After a few minutes of riding I didn't even notice that I had it on. The most important feature is that is wireless. Well you probably could have guessed that but I felt just in case you were confused I would say it. The magnetic wheel sensor also is a little larger than to be desired but it gets the job done. Well that all I got for you tonight continue on readin'.

If you have comments on my review feel free to say them and criticize. The average consumer should here others opinions. Thanks Seamus

Many important races have now conclude today or early this week. Di Luca was able to maintain his lead in the Giro and took an eight place finish today. I would like to congratulate him on his success. Also the Ronde de l'Isard conclude on the 29th of may in France. Our very own USA National Development Team rider John Devine won it by 49 seconds. Fabiana Luperini won this year's Montreal World Cup race for the women edging out American Mara Abbott today. Also some real breaking news just came out. Jan Ullrich may be striped of his Olympic medals from the Sydney, Australia games. This will occur if the IOC can prove that Jan took performance enhancing 'roids to help him get his medals.
