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.

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."
