Was it Gilberto Simoni who also failed a cocaine test & then went on to blame it on a visit to the dentist prior to the test. madison2008-06-09 23:43:42
Maybe slightly off topic, but Patrick Sinkewitz yesterday denied dropping his buddies Kloden & Kessler in the S%#t by naming them as his traveling companions to the Freiburg University for a doping trip. He went further to say that doping brought a 2-5% increase in performance & that it does not turn a donkey into a race horse. He calculates the cost of him being caught at over 1 million Euro. That must be the most expensive tube of testosterone gel ever.
Jenna-Lee Do an internet search for interviews with Doctors Ferrari, Fuentes & Carlo Santuccione. They do not use terms such as doping, but rather preparing or assisting cyclists with "therapeutic medicine". Fuentes thinks he deserves a nobel prize. Cyclingnews.com has many articles & interviews that will help you.
Ive had a set of these wheels for about three years now. When I first got them I twice broke spokes on the front wheel in quick succession. I replaced the front with a spare wheel I had & forgot about the AC wheel for a year (still used the rear though). I decided to try it again last year & by the third ride I broke another spoke. Had it fixed & three rides later the same happened. Since then I have had the wheels re spoked with DT swiss in lieu of the bladed spokes the wheel came with & have had no problems some 1500Km later. My conclusion is that the bladed spokes are crap since I have never in over twelve years broken front spokes except on this wheelset. I have since been told that the new wheels do not have bladed spokes. Towards the end of last year the rear hub also packed up & had to be replaced. I have no other experience with light weight wheel sets, but they do seem less reliable than a good old fashioned 32 spoke wheel.
