Cycling: 'It's been three weeks of suffering and... →
This is an article from last year’s TdF, in which Nicolas Roche describes the incident with Gadret, but moreover his writing describes the the nature of race fatigue and how accumulating stress and exhaustion can quickly turn to resentment.

Alberto Contador given one-year ban by Spanish... →
So here it is. It’s official. There are so many things that bother me about this incident, the biggest of which is this insistent ignorance from laypersons and cycling fans with regards to what clenbuterol actually is, the amount found in Contador’s system which offers absolutely no performance benefit whatsoever, Contador’s inexplicable folly of errors regarding this case and...

Kit.
