Sounds like Seattle drivers are stroking themselves a lot in traffic. Aren't there laws about this? -r

Astana Withdraws, Vino Suspended By Phil Liggett July 24, 2007 Alexandre Vinokourov’s positive blood test announced Tuesday has stunned everyone from riders to organizers. Since his crash, he has been portrayed as a limping hero of what, so far, has been a marvellous Tour. Now, he seems to have been caught introducing homologous blood into his system just before the time trial he won in demonstrative fashion. His Astana team has withdrawn at the invitation of the organizers and Vinokourov was suspended by Astana pending the confirmation of his positive test in his B analysis. It is very unusual for the second test not to confirm the first. In short, Vinokourov, one of the most respected riders in the peloton, will now leave the sport in disgrace. British rider David Millar, himself a reformed drug taker, has been leading the campaign to clean up the sport. His comment during his own Saunier Duval team’s press conference in Pau, sums up the feelings of most: “I just feel like crying right now.” Paul, Bob and I are, for once, speechless. We are all very upset with such a stupid action at a time the sport looked to be putting its own house in order. It is incomprehensible that Vinokourov could do such a thing when he must have known he was under suspicion because of his dealing with disgraced doctor Michele Ferrari in Italy. He must have known he would be tested at every opportunity and the time trial was the perfect occasion. Tomorrow we will know more.

Damn.. I thought this was about one of my fav childhood books.

We pooled our money to get you a giant squid, but the shipping ferry with the gift sank off the coast of Australia. -r

Back from WI after a steady diet of Brats, Cheese Curd, Ice Cream and getting little exercise. Oh and lots of fresh sweet corn slathered in butter and salt. After all that, I somehow lost weight I think I lost muscle mass... yeah that's it. -r
