Cool Bike
Gran Fondo Cycles in Nashville, TN with the help of Bianchi and some special component providers has come up with a cool new bike. It is called the Hope bike. A generous amount of the proceeds from the purchase of the bike end up funding breast cancer research. Also, there is a century ride to further support the cause on September 9. If you have not ridden the Natchez Trace Parkway, you are missing an awesome ride.
My opinion
What bothers me the most is that UCI and Phonak spread the word about Floyd's positive testosterone results as soon as possible because "the French national anti-doping laboratory at Châtenay-Malabry has ties to L'Equipe." What does ties mean? Do they have people on each others payroll whose sole job is to leak information. And yet the IOC certifies them. Just what are they certifying? Where is the credibility of the anti-doping laboratory at Châtenay-Malabry? Where is the credibility of the IOC for turning a blind eye to these snitches? How can a lab that almost everyone in the free world knows leaks information be trusted to provide credible testing results?
Do I believe Floyd is innocent? I don't know. But from the outside looking in, I see a lot of dirty people. I believe that WADA , UCI, IOC and the laboratory at Châtenay-Malabry (as well as other labs) are equally as dirty. I believe there is a total lack of credibility from all angles. Cycling will never be able to clean up its act if everyone around them is equally as dirty.
