Just to have the guts to even try and make a comeback after a horrific injury like that is mind boggling. Coming from a medical background I can tell you those were life threatening injuries and Chris should be at a serious disadvantage . Hats off to him for being an inspiration to me and lots of others and it is such a shame that he will in future have to play the political game at the major tours to be the recognised team leader. I do imagine it would be beneficial to be the first one in yellow in the team and the rest of the teammates will be forced not to attack. Expect a hectic TDF from the word go - Exciting stuff . Can't wait !!

Most important!! The descends are seriously dangerous and even some pros have had major crashes. WAIT until you are sure you are at the bottom before picking up speed- Don't say I didn't warn you !!

Sure - just leave it to CSA and have this very good athlete who has been a brilliant ambassador to cyling stop the sport altogether.

Boys Boys please !! I am a doctor and the drug she tested positive for is Hydrochloric thiazide is it ? Doctors give these out like jellytots for people with high blood pressure and water retention for whatever reason. If you look at the drugs out there that people are using this drug is like taking an airgun to a nuclear war. It can not enhance sport performance ! I can also not see that this drug can completely mask the use of any other more sinister drugs. AND - have you looked at the physique of this girl- Does she look as though she is using steroids? If she was using EPO or another form of blood doping the HCTZ will actually make the bloodtest worse as the tablet might dehydrate you and push your haematocrit up. I knew a girl who was racing for South Africa oversees and she tested positive for some controlled substance. I will vouch for the integrity of this person BUT the way in which CSA handled the matter was atrocious! ! The first time she heard about the positive test was in the media. She quit cyling and it was a loss to the cyling fraternity in SA believe me . Food for thought before you go killing this girl's reputation!

They need to make doping a criminal offense as it is in Italy- Remember the police arresting Festina at the TDF in 19?? Ken now just sits back and says he is retired. IT IS FRAUD ! How many guys has he ridden out of a possible sponsorship? How much money did he earn as a pro cyclist. If he could be charged with fraud it would be a different ball game

The Bulls did the Cheetas a huge favour to take Piet v Zyl off their hands!! He was useless. Pity about Adriaan though!

Be kind to Land Rovers_ 80% of all Land Rovers ever made are still on the road----Only 20% made it back home!!!

Personally I think FAf and Ab and a whole other bunch including Hash need to do some serious upper body strength work. When you looked at Faf he was out on his feet from running too much. It worked up to a point. Chris gale stood there and klapped boundaries and 6 after 6 without all the running- just a thought

we live in a country without crime and why should you insure your bike?

I am looking at the Anthem, advanced- Does the rear shock come standard with a remote shifter or do you always have to manually change the settings on the shock?
