    nice speculation dude! Maybe but it not speculation that he took them. Did they benifit him??? Of course. How much is the speculation.
  2. The Web site junkscience.com is offering $100,000 to the first person who can prove that humans are responsible for harmful climate change. The Ultimate Global Warming Challenge says — "If you think it's a no-brainer that humans are causing catastrophic global warming, here's your opportunity to earn an easy $100,000." The Web site lists the specifications for the challenge and the contest rules. It's open until December 1, with the results announced next February. Gauntlet Thrown Meanwhile another global warming skeptic is challenging Al Gore to a debate. This time it's best-selling author Dennis Avery, whose book "Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years" attempts to refute Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." So far Gore has refused to debate any of the numerous challengers.

    ,.... like lance armstrong , barry is a great athlete who used aid to win at his sport. roids dont teach you to play ball like that! however. armstrong's benefits were much more pronounced because HIS sport is ALL about fitness. his records are more tainted. like body builders. ask why barry? ask why lance is getting a pass? LOL right. Lance was tested every day during the tour. They still have his blood in labs for future test. Bike riders are th highest tested. Hell baseball player until recent were never tested. Bonds is not only an ass, he and everyone he knows admits taking steriods. He would never had stayed health long enough to break the record with out them. Plain and simple he a cheat and him and others like Mark Mcgwire should have the records taken off.
  4. And larger electric vehicles have even more catching up to do. White Zombie's best time in a quarter-mile is 11.46 seconds — that's quicker than a 2007 505-horsepower Corvette ZO6, one of the fastest production vehicles available to the general public http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291546,00.html

    Tour news

    Whom can you trust? I am at a loss for answers By Bobby Julich Special to ESPN.com DRESDEN, Germany -- I get no pleasure out of talking about this today. I am just at a loss. Reports came out Tuesday that Alexandre Vinokourov tested positive for a banned blood transfusion after winning last weekend's time trial. I am hoping it's a mistake. I am hoping that something will prove that my friend didn't do something wrong. I am so hurt that a cyclist I call a friend, someone I have trained with, someone I have recently praised, could potentially be involved in something like this. I am not making any excuses for anyone, but this is Vino. He is the V.P. of cycling, one of our sport's biggest champions. We used to be teammates with Telekom and we used to train together a lot, although that hasn't happened for over a year and a half. Still, Vino has always been inspiring to me as a cyclist because of the zero stress in his life and how he concentrates on the bike. A bomb could go off next to him and he still wouldn't get rattled. Then, he gave us such a ride over the last week at the Tour. Crashing, coming back to win the time trial, losing a ton of time to the leaders, then coming back again to win Stage 15. It was better than a Hollywood script. I am let down that this could be the potential end to the story. It makes it so much more difficult to face this news. I don't understand why someone would do something like this, risking the welfare of himself, his family, his team, not to mention the pride and respect of fans and cyclists around the world. I just can't come to grips with this. My teammates and I are getting ready for a race Wednesday, and we're all talking about this with question marks on our faces asking, "What's going on?! How is this still happening?!" We keep seeing it on CNN International and BBC in our hotel rooms, with updates coming every 15 minutes, pictures of Vino riding the time trial. These are the biggest English-speaking news agencies over here. The sportscasters are almost laughing at cycling. One says, "This was the year we were supposed to see a clean tour." The other anchor replies, "Unbelievable." I want to throw a shoe at the television. I went to bat for my former CSC teammate Ivan Basso last year [he later received a two-year ban this past June]. I had always respected Basso's professionalism. Now, Vino is facing controversy. How does this not touch you to the core? Whom do you trust? I hope Vino has a side to his story that's different because it's already ruined a lot for a lot of people now that Astana has pulled out of the Tour. I feel like I have to apologize to everyone. I know it seems like I am coming up with excuses. I feel duped myself. I am at the last year or so of my career and I wanted to enjoy it. But news like this is taking that fun out of the equation. It's hard to realize that it's not just "rogue" riders doing this, but friends potentially doing these things and keeping these secrets. It's happening more frequently now, which has to mean the tests are working on some level. But I am running out of defenses for the sport and I am getting more questions from friends, family, younger teammates. All of us have no idea what's going on. It should put fear into everyone, but I guess the Tour de France brings the beast out of people. We ride in so many other bike races that are run exactly the same way as the Tour. But we put the Tour on this pedestal, it's always do or die for the Tour. But you don't define yourself as a cyclist or a person by just one race. Obviously, it's too much pressure for some people. I am going to be a spectator pretty soon. I have to wonder … when I ride up on my bike to a stoplight, and there is a mother or father in a car with a child and the parent is pointing at me, is that because they're fans or because the parent is saying, "Don't become a cyclist because they're all on drugs." Am I going to be looked at as a hero or as an example of what not to do with your life? I've never felt ashamed of being a cyclist. But, when I've been out on the training routes around my house in France during the month of July, were the people who recognized me wondering, "Why isn't he at the Tour?" I've been insecure about it and it's started to affect me a little more lately. I know I sound a little negative right now; I guess it's just the shock of this development. But I know in a few days, I'll be more positive again and will be able to see the big picture. These tests are obviously working better; they are carrying them out with more consistency; officials are not afraid to take down the big names. And compared to other sports, our testing is strict. I read a reference in an international edition of USA Today to a football player's one-month suspension for steroid use. Four weeks?! A player can sit out just a month and return for the rest of the season and/or playoffs. For us, a comparable offense is a two-year ban. This will be my motivation -- to hold my head up high, knowing that we're trying to make it better, especially for the younger riders. My generation is beyond repair; we've made monumental mistakes as far as history is concerned. But as I said earlier this week, we have to make sure our young riders don't lose their heads. I want a cycling world where those young guys can say, "This is great for us. We're weeding out the cheaters. We have absolutely nothing to worry about. The world is ours."

    POP and die?

    By Associated Press BOSTON (AP) - People who drank more than one diet soda each day developed the same risks for heart disease as those who downed sugary regular soda, suggests a large but inconclusive study. The results surprised the researchers who expected to see a difference between regular and diet soda drinkers. It could be, they suggest, that even no-calorie sweet drinks increase the craving for more sweets, and that people who indulge in sodas probably have less healthy diets overall. The study's senior author, Dr. Vasan Ramachandran, emphasized the findings don't show diet sodas are a cause of increased heart disease risks. But he said they show a surprising link that must be studied. "It's intriguing and it begs an explanation by people who are qualified to do studies to understand this better," said Vasan, of Boston University School of Medicine. However, a nutrition expert dismissed the study's findings on diet soda drinkers. "There's too much contradictory evidence that shows that diet beverages are healthier for you in terms of losing weight that I would not put any credence to the result on the diet (drinks)," said Barry Popkin, of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, who has called for cigarette-style surgeon general warnings about the negative health effects of soda. Susan Neely, president of the American Beverage Association, said the notion that diet drinks are associated with bulging waistlines defies common sense. "How can something with zero calories that's 99 percent water with a little flavoring in it ... cause weight gain?" she said. The research comes from a massive, multi-generational heart study following residents of Framingham, Mass., a town about 25 miles west of Boston. The new study of 9,000 observations of middle-aged men and women was published Monday online in the journal Circulation. The researchers found those who drank more than soda per day - diet or regular - had an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, compared to those who drank less than one soda. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that increase the risk for heart disease including large waistlines and higher levels of blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and blood fats called triglycerides. At the start of the study, those who reported drinking more than one soft drink a day had a 48 percent increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to those who drank less soda. Of participants who initially showed no signs of metabolic syndrome, those who drank more than one soda per day were at 44 percent higher risk of developing it four years later, they reported. Researchers expected the results to differ when regular soda and diet soda drinkers were compared, and were surprised when they did not, Vasan said. But Popkin said that result isn't that surprising. He said much of the market for diet sodas are people who have unhealthy lifestyles and know they need to lose weight - with the other portion being thin people who want to stay that way. That means many people drinking diet sodas have unhealthy habits that could lead to increased heart disease risks, whether they drink diet soda or not. In studies in which some users were randomly given diet sodas and others were given regular soda, diet soda drinkers lost weight and regular soda drinkers gained weight, Popkin said. In a statement, the American Heart Association said it supports dietary patterns that include low-calorie beverages. "Diet soda can be a good option to replace caloric beverages that do not contain important vitamins and minerals," the association said, adding further study is needed before any association between diet soda and heart risk factors would lead to public recommendations. Vasan also said poor overall health habits may be one reason diet soda drinkers did not show lower heart disease risks in the Framingham study, but there hasn't been enough research to say for sure. Another possible reason is a controversial theory called "dietary compensation," which holds that if someone drinks a large amount of liquids at a meal, they aren't satisfied and will tend to eat more at the next meal, Vasan said. Other theories, Vasan said, are that people who drink a large amount of sweetened drinks are prone to develop a taste for sweeter foods, or that the substance that gives soda its caramel color promotes resistance to insulin, which is needed to process calories. Without a more definitive explanation, Vasan offers only this advice to diet soda drinkers: "consume in moderation and stayed tuned for more research."
