Yeah, so as if WordPress nuking every file on my server wasn’t bad enough, there was a brief mix-up with DNS records that temporarily bumped Cyclocosm.com to a GoDaddy parked URL page. The whole rigamarole would have been fixed much sooner—and possibly avoided entirely—if Verizon, my grundle of an ISP, hadn’t spent hours redirecting me…

How is Doping Like a Pregnancy?
How is doping like a pregnancy? Because—according to the IOC, anyway—you’ve gotta wait nine months to find out whose responsible. I don’t know if they’re still sleeping in Boulder, but Velonews has yet to report that Rebellin’s positive has indeed been confirmed by IOC. Not that this means his guilty, of course, but just that…
Why I Look Past Pais Vasco
Now that I’ve gotten some sleep in lieu of videomaking, I’ve been trying to get my head around why I can’t get into these little baby stage races. Maybe it’s because they’re so anonymous—I mean, from Ruta del Sol onward, it’s just 5-day races with roughly three flat stages, two climbs and a time trial…
Twitter Dropping Knowledge on Cycling
Ah, I love twitter. Practically does my job for me. Yesterday, I posited to the Internets that Rock Racing was little more than a drain-sieve for washed up dopers. And some dude said I was crazy. Oh yeah, Rayh62? Then what about this? Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Ball went so far as…
I'm Back!
Yes, between tweets and chasing away a staggering amount of Russian-language comment spam, I think might just find time to post here again. After all, if post-first-retirement Lance Armstrong can find off from his hectic career of not working and running 3 hour marathons to train for bike racing, surely I can find a spare…
Why Baseball Looks (and may soon be) Cleaner Than Cycling
Forget the weak dollar, foreign wars, and the past two presidential elections – America is still the greatest country in the world. You know why? The Mitchell Report [PDF; short version here]. No tabloid B.S., no codenames, no rumor, and no innuendo. Just the facts: a man on the inside, receipts, confessions, testimony and positive…
Clean Cycling – The Time to Invest is Now
I’m sure that at some point in my life, I’ll be disgraced. And when that day comes, I hope I can weather the storm and resign respectfully, without trampling my denouement under a landslide of excuses; e.g., “I’m not a married, self-loathing homosexual – I’m just prone to misunderstandings. Lots of them“. “I’m not into…
"The Secret" in Cycling, Armstrong, Disco, and Suisse
So how many of you out there are down with The Secret? Well, I’ve got proof that it works. Wasn’t it just yesterday I questioned CSC’s team anti-doping program in light of Bjarne’s recent confession? And then today – boom – CSC announces that all its riders have been clean thus far. Not too shabby,…
False Alarms, Dauphine Li-boring
So I woke up this morning, rolled my battered carcass to the side of the bed, popped open the laptop and said “OMFG!’ Well, ok – I didn’t say that. But come on, look at these headlines: “Police Raid Quick Step” and “VDB Attempts Suicice” [sic]. Not to pick on Podium Cafe, but they’ve been…
I Have Doper Mind Control, Bruseghin wins Giro HTT
Oh, man – I am so excited. For the past two days I have been rocking some major mind-control powers on dope confessions. I say “maybe Zabel will own up to it” – boom. Zabel owns up to it. I comment it’s time for Bjarne to come clean – boom. Bjarne comes clean. So who’s…
