Withdrawal symptoms...

I'm irritable, have shaky palms and feel somewhat sweaty in a chilly CT... :eek:

I have the same problem.. so I found this, isn't new but the first time I've seen it..

 

I'm not too bothered about the how to. Rather than seeing more what he is like.. amazing.. he practices out of the saddle for 20min at a time[emoji33]

Ivan Basso has quit the Tour de France after being diagnosed with testicular cancer during the race.

 

The 37-year-old Italian, who is one of Alberto Contador’s team-mates, announced the news at Tinkoff-Saxo’s rest-day press conference, just a couple of hours after finding out himself.

 

Basso, who won the Giro d’Italia in 2006 and 2010, complained of pain after a crash on stage five and underwent a scan on Monday morning.

 

Contador was sitting next to Basso in the press conference and broke down in tears when the news was announced.

 

He later tweeted: “Hard day. @ivanbasso have discovered a serious health problem. I'm sure everything will be fine. Dee you in Paris!”

 

Tinkoff-Saxo sports director Steven de Jongh added: “We will try to meet Ivan in Paris with the yellow jersey."

Jeez, wonder when Armstrong will roll out a tweet. 

 

Remember lads, check yourself. Seriously. 

one of the most treatable cancers if caught early enough. 

 

Armstrong tweet done and dusted, I am wondering how long before the 'guru's" on twitter start on the "PED's cause testicular cancer" angle...

"In the days before colour televisions, rest-day tactics used to involve staying in the hotel room with the curtains pulled and a menu of apples to survive the day.

Why apples?

Well, the theory, and bear with me here, is that they suppress the appetite and therefore the poor rider who had been eating 6000 calories per day wouldn't be tempted to overdo it and eat too much before the mountain stages."

Wait for that expaht, the skinny kid with cowboy-hat avatar. He'll tell us exactly how it works.
