I am just amazed that in this day and age the Pro's still think they can get away with the use of Drugs. Some top riders being found guilty!

I have been racing since 1984; and have always enjoyed the three weeks in July with the Tour De France from the days of Hinault/ Lemond To Indurain to Armstrong with a courageous Roche and battling Delgado not to mention the two drugs cheats Riis and Ulrich.

However, whilst I can appreciate that the race itelf is not easy if others can compete at the highest level of competition without manufactured enhancements; why can't others.

I know there is a lot of pressure put on Riders to always perform at their best; but they are a team and should therefore work together to collectively bring home the spoils. Maybe having so many stars in one team is causing infighting and this selfish behaviour.

It is certainly not helping the sport.

Stamp it out is what I say, but is just banning the riders any use - what about the doctors who administer the drugs and the team management for the pressure applied to win at all costs.

Something must be done; here's hoping they have got it right!

Welive in hope of a clean sport one day :-)

The Government is trying to change the highway code to make you use cycle lanes

please write to your MP... 

If you go to the Cycle Touring Club, website it will generate a letter and send it via Email to your MP.

major problem is a proposed new rule telling cyclists to "use cycle

Apologies for any disruption today (or possibly all this week) as Gentoo have updated their php packages and I've decided to take the leap from php 4 to php 5 seeing as how I had to upgrade all my php packages anyway.

If you have a ciclosuno email address the webmail has been upgraded today but is a CVS version (meaning development) so if you experience any problems PLEASE let me know.

Thanks
