Bicycle.net quotes Zirbel to the effect that he doesn’t know what happened. Particularly when a new year is coming, and you want to have hope, you wish you could believe a rider who says he was wronged. But you have to think that the monitoring system is set up in a rigorous enough way that [...]

Great post on BikePure re Joe Papp’s reformed doper saga. We linked to Papp recently for perspective on the Kenny Williams fall from grace. Kenny could do worse than follow Joe’s lead in taking the pledge. And thanks to BikePure for providing an alternative vision to our doping-besotted sport.
