Hey,

I read somewhere the UCI was considering a minimum for
racing days per rider. I also saw somewhere speculation
of allowing perfomance enhancing drugs, to level the
playing field, a sort of gladiator series. Has anyone
heard the latest? They are proposing that all riders
train 25 hours a week. No less, no more. The Horners of
the world, with their 33-37 hour training weeks, is
completely unfair. Also, Italian World Champions who only
ride the bicycle 7-12 hours a week is bad for the sport.
They propose electronic measuring devices, sort of like
truck drivers have in the European Union, to monitor
their time behind the wheel. This is actually the first
idea I've seen out of the UCI good old boy fraternity in
quite some time.

Thanks, Ronde Chumpion (No relation to the Ronde
Chump, Ronde Champ, Ronde Champion, or Round Clump
that post here)

It's not April 1st already is it?
