Fallout XV

News
CyclingNews mentions that Alexandre Vinokourov, Iban Mayo, and Cristian Moreni may be charged criminally for doping offenses at the 2007 Tour de France. This according to the Sud Ouest newspaper.

The VeloNews' Rick Crawford gives a "101 course" on blood testing and its proper place for the endurance athlete. With all of the emphasis on the "blood passport" and with Riccardo Riccò's values rumored to be in question, it's an interesting read for those unfamiliar with the particulars.

Right after a VERSUS spot for "Take Back the Tour" (Screw the dopers...etc) they came on with a pitch for a "100% natural male enhancement" pill. It all depends on what kind of performance you are enhancing, I guess...
