  1. Just in case anyone is interested; 'The National', a nightly hour long
    news show on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), is airing a
    story about doping in cycling tomorrow night.

    Looks like they talk to Floyd, Cranky Frankie, [censored] Pounder, among
    others.

    If you don't get the The National in your neck of the woods then you
    may be able to view it online at
    http://www.cbc.ca/ondemand/news/thenational.asx after 11:30pm ET.

    What: The National

    When: Wednesday January 3, 2007 at 9:00pm ET on CBC Newsworld, and
    10:00pm ET on the main CBC network. And probably repeated numerous
    times overnight on both networks, check your local listings.

    Where: the CBC

    From the article:
    -------------------------------------------------------
    More often than not, Canada's best investigative sports journalism is
    produced at the CBC.

    Wednesday night, The National will examine doping in cycling, with a special
    focus on Lance Armstrong, who for years has fought allegations that he used
    performance-enhancing drugs.

    The 22-minute report by Tom Harrington will include an exclusive interview
    with Frankie Andreu, a former teammate of Armstrong who says he heard the
    cyclist admit in a hospital room in 1996 after learning he had testicular
    cancer that he had used erythropoietin, growth hormone, cortisone and
    testosterone.

    Aside from a few reports in Europe, there has been little of substance done
    on doping in cycling, Harrington says.

    "As far as I can tell, we're the first North American network to actually do
    this," he said. "In fact, Andreu turned down an interview with 60 Minutes.
    Instead, he talked to us."
