  1. Running is not going well. Mostly because I'm not a runner, and because running is the devil. But I've got a 5K route planned for this evening, and while I'll probably die doing it, I'm going to do it.

      Knappic it will be interesting to see if Chris Froome rides this year.  There are rumors that he could be banned because of a disagreement about the asthma drug he uses.  He has a known asthma condition so I don't know why all of a sudden he gets banned?

      Even with a known condition he has to get an exemption and it looks like he never got one. There's two reasons for that - his condition hasn't been shown to be so debilitating that he needs the meds or he & his team have been lax and just not gotten it.  I can't imagine the latter being the case with a world-class cyclist/cycling team.  My guess is he's mildly asthmatic and is using the meds as a permissible PDE. Hate to say that, but if this is your job & your life, you get that certificate. Right?

      I agree Knappic.  The sport of cycling, unfortunately, has been tainted for a long time.  I think most people knew Lance was doping but he still had to train and he still had to know how to handle the bike. He deserved what he got especially since he lied for so long (I especially feel sorry for his son. The kid defended his Dad to the end then had to find out Lance lied. So sad. ). Lance brought such a heightened awareness to cycling and it would have been so great to have his take of the Tour along with Phil, Paul and Bobke.  (Lance does have a podcast during the tour. )
