"Preposterous is a strong word, but it is warranted in this case," said
Gerard Bisceglia, chief executive officer of USA Cycling.

Guess we should stick a fork in it, folks.

Haha.

Just watching the LKL interview and it was mentioned one of the French
weekend newspapers took a poll for the "most hated sportsman in France".
Michael Schumacher, the Formula One driver was first; Lance was third.

Some say they 'hate' winners - but maybe it's in the same way that some
fans 'hate' the N.Y. Yankees - it's a 'sports emotion' - you don't really
say you hate the person when asked out of that context. I don't know, I
don't hate any teams or sports figures, though I think Mike Tyson's
behavior is appaling (sic). ;-)

So what s the value of a little survey and 3 letters in a newpaper. And
it s freedom of speech in France, you know, you can even tell a
newspaper that you disagree with what they published.

But you are probabely from a superior nation right?

I don't think the nation I am from is so superior. I hate to say it, but we
have even people incapable in recognizing irony!

Its also because the most widely known athletes or teams are more
likely to be picked, so you often have the same people picked for best
and worst liked.

Like who the hell knows who the Boston Red Sox are anyhow?

Unable to parse your reply, I'll stipulate to being partitioned with slats.
On the spelling it was une petite plaisanterie. Un pays fictif.

Perhaps he meant Kazakstan, homeland of riders like Deluca, Salvodelli and
Ulrich.

Not quite -

Kazakhstan = Latin letter, English language representation of the country
Kazakhistan = Latin letter, French language representation of the country

From the latest letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs (KZ) to the UN,
regarding the public form of use for this country's name.

Arising from 1) Kazakhstan - originally requested at the time of new
independence ; 2) Kazakstan - when the first law on national official
language was implemented which uses a letter looking much like a "K" ; 3)
Kazakhstan - when the official orthographers recognized that the special
letters representing the consonant would be better understood and pronounced
with the "KH" combination. (Follow parallels for French versions.)

Other fascinating legal and bureaucratic informaition available on request,
as I lived and worked there for 4 years. Duller than what ? Can't imagine.

Ok, This one does win the Dull Post of the Month award. I couldn't make it
past the middle of the 3rd line. (Please forgive the toppost, but if I put
this response after the original post, no one would ever get far enough to
read it.)
