(AP -- SEPT. 1, 2007) Helmut Roole won Friday's 154.2km seventh stage up the grinding Alto de el Morredero climb in the Vuelta, taking time in the waning meters to blow kisses to fans and pound down a bottle of Old English 800 before stripping off all his clothes and chasing after one of the podium girls.
"I just wanted to show everyone that you can drink, ride and chase podium girls," Roole said after the podium presentation. "There's no conflict of interest. I just hope that 40oz'er doesn't screw up my epi test [censored] test. Can it? Does anyone one know?"
One reporter questioned how a rider with such a large head could compete in bicycle racing.
"That's from HGH," Roole told the reporter. "It makes your head grow big."
When the reporter pressed Roole for further details, Roole beat the living daylights out of him in and apparent fit of roid rage.
Asked how he would deal with Discovery's new discovery -- 115lb Janez Brajkovic -- Roole said, "I'll sit on him."
