  1. Why is it when it's cycling it's everywhere and the cops are playing gestapo,
    but when it's someone else it's really low key?

    I think it's mostly everywhere in rbr. I'm sure more people (in the
    states at least) know about Jason Giambi and Balco than know about Pantani.

    I hadn't heard about Giambi being linked to Balco, though he played
    for Oakland and it would have been a short drive to the supplier.
    Mostly I'm hearing about Balco and Track & Field, but Manzano appeared
    to indicate THG was among the Kelme drug pool.

    Bonds initially denied anything, then said he took whatever
    supplements his trainer gave him (and he trusted the trainer), but it
    does seem a bit like Virenque "I didn't take drugs" -> "I may have,
    but not intentionally" -> "Ok, I did and I'm sorry."

    I'm expecting a bombshell to come out of the racing pigeon community
    any day now.

    Chambers has been pretty high profile in the UK, Bill. He was captain
    of the GB athletics team and T&F is a major sport here.

    To some extent he's seen as a "victim" of his coach and a devious US
    supplement company - us Brits would never knowingly dope, would we?

    Regards!

    Giambi was called in front of the Grand Jury as was Sheffield. It was a
    big topic in Yankees spring training. The SF chronicle reported that
    they had proof of all three: Bonds, Shef, and Giambi recieving steroids.

    That's the usual seagull [censored]. I figure THG Pigeon [censored] should leave a
    bigger dent.

    Thankfully.

    I've also missed out on the excitement of dropping the torch on national
    television, which another one of my namesakes did before the Atlanta
    Olympics.
