Jonathan Vaughters made a careless comment about Lance Armstrong, who tweeted revenge. We like to see Lance mad because it makes him a better cyclist. Perhaps he will stick Vaughters’ comment on his top tube. Every time his head starts to sag a bit from fatigue, he will read it there and all hell will [...]

How did we do it? In our campaign to bring together Team Rehab for the Dopers Reunion Tour de France 2010, how did we forget about Tom Boonen? Admittedly, Boonen did not test positive for a performance enhancer. He was dinged for cocaine, which only makes you THINK your performance is enhanced. Still, drugs is [...]

Two-year suspension for Danilo Di Luca comes at a terrible time, as we continue to assemble our our dream Team Rehab in the Dopers Reunion Tour de France 2010. So far Michael Rasmussen and Alexander Vinokourov are on board, and we’re hoping for Floyd Landis. Only a miracle would get our favorite doper, Tyler Hamilton, [...]

Ricco denies involvement with his girlfriend’s doping. Girlfriend denies doping. They might at least get on the same page on this… Ricco compared to a cobra.

In mainstream media the advice goes like this: If you want to bury bad news, release it on a Friday afternoon. Well this is the blogosphere, folks, and we’re creating a whole new dynamic. You release bad news on a Friday, you’ve got a hailstorm from hell on your hands. Case in point: Riccardo Ricco’s [...]

Yes it’s early, but we continue to see signs that this year’s Tour de France is shaping up as a real bike race (as opposed to a single team of prima donnas controlling a docile peloton).

This will be interesting: “Bike Pure feel this is a major step forward in highlighting the problems cyclesport faces as sponsors look for a positive return on their financial investment within the sport. “There is a momentum for major change within cycling, fans of the sport no longer want the dopers destroying its image.

Alexander Vinokourov’s drug ban is over, so like Michael Rasmussen, he’s ready for another go on the Tour. Vino says he won’t be pursuing a title, but if something should happen to team leader Contador, we would assume all bets are off. The Tour de France 2010 is shaping up as the biggest Dopers Reunion [...]
