For example, this morning I was pretty much fueled by last night's curry, which I topped off with a half-pint of Haagen-Daaz (hey, it was their "light" version of coffee). So, uh, it was not what you'd call a clean burn during the commute in. :Pdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527673886975332497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-12900800254879704042007-07-07T00:57:00.000-06:002007-07-07T00:57:00.000-06:00db is right that more cyclists are caught doping b...db is right that more cyclists are caught doping because pro cycling tests *much* more. Like Lance Armstrong said the other day, "If you went to Major League Baseball and said, 'We're going to have random, unannounced, out-of-competition controls,' they would tell you, 'You're crazy. No way, we're not playing another game.' The NFL, they would never do that. NHL, no way. Golf, forget it. Tennis, forget it. Of course, cyclists get tested more than anything else, and perhaps that's why they get caught more than anyone else."<BR/><BR/>That written, I don't doubt that doping is common in all pro sports including cycling.<BR/><BR/>Back to topic: Cycling does enable me to eat more, but be careful that cycling is not a <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naotoj/536777403/" REL="nofollow">eat anything for free pass</A>. Garbage in, garbage out, and increasing the burn rate only permits that much more garbage to get passed into your system without you really noticing it.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-12758119847016835402007-07-06T14:15:00.000-06:002007-07-06T14:15:00.000-06:00It is tragic.

In reality, it's probably no more prevalent in cycling than it is in other professional athletics, but always with the results come the allegations, it seems.<BR/><BR/>If somebody brings donuts to the office... I grab one. And I'll look longingly at a second. But usually I'll think, "It would take 20 minutes of hard riding to burn that donut... how bad do I really want it?"Bikeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379272663647894409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-50171244756314778592007-07-06T07:18:00.000-06:002007-07-06T07:18:00.000-06:00Weird - that menu must be from the '80s or somethi...Weird - that menu must be from the '80s or something, because I don't see any EPO or oxygenated blood on there. ;)<BR/><BR/>This is the main reason that I HAVE to bike to work.
