  1. Cycling makes a blip on the mainstream radar screen, at
    least once, in a local sports columnist's article devoted to
    low grade jobs in sports such as figure skating judge, TV
    football sideline reporter, and Commissioner of Baseball.

    ______________________BEGIN ______________________
    What goes around, comes around, and here it comes again:
    Two guys wrote a book titled, "L.A. Confidential: "The
    Secrets of Lance Armstrong" in 2004. Because of that
    book, one of Lance's sponsors, SCA Promotions, withheld a
    $5 million bonus the company was due to pay him.
    Armstrong sued SCA (and won), and the testimony from that
    lawsuit and trial became the basis for a second book by
    the same two guys, "L.A. Official," with more accusations
    about Armstrong. Coming to book stores in 2008, same two
    authors--"L.A. Yadda-Yadda."

    NO, NO! Armstrong didn't win! SCA just paid all the money owed plus a
    bunch more in a settlement prior to the decision. The reason they chose
    to settle is most definitely NOT because they were getting their
    collective butts kicked worse than Iban Mayo. It was some other reason.
    Let's not explore that.
