To: Rodney King

There are also photographs of him cycling with President Bush.

The reason I suggested you abondon the post was that I was fearful that it was about to slide into one of those endless "bike riding freaks who wear spandex and wear helmets" loops.

Then we'd get the yahoos who take joy in talking about running down cyclists with their front bumpers.

Frankly, the only think I remotely (key word...remotely) respect about Kerry is that he has been known to ride a century (100 miles)on occasion.

That said, I believe Landis in innocent. He is one of the few riders who races with a computerized monitor. It measures watts of energy produced by the bike that they can download for analysis. He said that except for one short 45 second burst of excess energy early in the ride, his wattage was nearly identical to his training rides on the same course.

Indeed. That is probably the most telling stat in this whole mess. That and the fact that in order to register the high level of testosterone the lab allegedly found in Floyd's sample would take extended use and would have shown up in earlier stages.

Nice pull on the water bottles also!

To the frog lab...."...aurevoir go-fair!"
