  1. The end

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Sep 7, 2009

    This blog is over. I no longer have the time, interest, or motivation to write it. There are no teams left that I want to be a fan of, and I really have no idea which riders are clean and… Full Story »

    Martin Dugard tells a strange tale of a quick trip to France. Don't mess with the ASO? Emanuele Sella denies that his info was responsible for the latest Italian doping raid. Omerta relapse. French rumors suggest that Saxo Bank wants to hire Pierrick Fedrigo. Saxo Bank denies. The British commentators are almost bouncing off the walls with delight over Wiggins. Sort of endearing to see how excited they are to have a… Full Story »

  3. Saturday update

    Italian U23 rider Gianandrea Mariola has tested positive for EPO in a test from the baby Giro. Always great to see the U23 riders getting an early start practising their doping skills. Prior to the race start, four other U23 riders were kicked out for strange blood values. New Kimmage article . Amusing photo shoot of Columbia riders by TDWSport, which also has good Tour photos after each stage, along with Cor… Full Story »

  4. Wednesday update

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Jul 1, 2009

    I am very pleased to see Dekker getting caught at long last. Finally the rider forever dubbed by the Dutch as The Great Talent is revealed for what he really is, just another doper. I hope that many more of the past samples that contained Dynepo will also be re-tested, as I am sure that there are many other riders who were doing the same as Dekker, including Rasmussen for one. I guess that could count as a second offense and the Chicken could get life. Good riddance. The more and more times we see these rumors of doping being… Full Story »

  5. Selfishness vs teamwork

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Jun 27, 2009

    There are a lot of things I like about Garmin, but Julian Dean's bad attitude is not among them. After being offered many opportunities to ride for himself last year, and getting decidedly meager results, he now has been quite fairly asked to serve as a leadout man for Tyler Farrar at the Tour.… Full Story »

  6. Monday update

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Jun 23, 2009

    Steegmans has refused to sign Katusha's new contract clause that requires the rider to pay five times their salary if caught doping. (No link to article at CN, because I refuse to link to CN since they have ruined their site.) I agree with his refusal, which may sound odd, but Katusha is an absolutely classic example of a totally hypocritical team where the shady old-school management demand results and place enormous pressure on the riders to deliver, while at the same time pretending to be strictly anti-doping by announcing with much trumped-up PR drama this useless contract clause, which… Full Story »

  7. Questions

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Feb 16, 2009

    For Travis Tygart: If CONI can pursue a case to ban Valverde over his Puerto involvement, why doesn't USADA pursue cases against Mancebo, Gutierrez, Sevilla, and Hamilton? You can get blood samples of all these riders while they ride in… Full Story »


  8. Friday update

    Cycling Fans Anonymous &bull Feb 14, 2009

    Phew, things have taken an ugly turn, and the race hasn't even started yet. You wouldn't believe the level of anger in the emails and comments flying around the interwebs these days. Or, actually, you probably would if you've followed cycling for any length of time. There really are people out there who fully… Full Story »
