Will Steve Folow Gerrard Out The Door

My impression of Jim O., having spoken to him a couple of times, is
that he's kind of a [censored]. He certainly has much to protect and anyone
who thinks Motorola didn't have some doping going on, at least among
riders, is on crack.

Change is good, but I think the wrong positions are changing. It is
typical to have regular turn over at NPO's, but USAC has had the same
dudes on that board for too many years.I say it's time for Jim O. and
the other cronies to go...that'll never happen, unless Steve is forced
out, which could have some serious blow back.

A little conflict at the Springs:

Steve Johnson, the chief executive of USA Cycling, the sport's national
governing body, commended Andreu for speaking out. Andreu is a member of the
USA Cycling board.

"The truth is the best policy," Johnson said. "That's what my mother always
said."

Jim Ochowicz, the president of the USA Cycling board, said the organization
did not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs. He said that he did
not agree with Andreu's characterization that professional cycling had
secrets and that doping was a widespread problem.

"It's not our position that people are hiding the facts," he said. "But
Frankie certainly is entitled to his opinion."

Whenever I hear this kind of statement I think of what
Pontius Pilate asked. Or is it Ben Franklin?

"Andreu is a member of the

(Haha)... Not for long. I think that soon, Wiesel will feel the need
for a little variety on the board. Perhaps some non-cyclists? Yep.
