    I think they'll be banned as they'd have an advantage going uphill.

    Interesting grammar BTW. What's your first language?

    ... isn't the ongoing "rumor" that Robert Millar had a sex change? Course, that doesn't make U gay.

    I would have thought it a statistical certainty that there would have been. Based on the apparent 1:10 people being gay thing that gets mentioned regularly then there should be 20 gay riders in every Tour. Of course, that suggests there's an even cross section of the population in the pro peloton which a quick check of skin colour shows there isn't but I'd be amazed if there are not a few every year. The sad thing is that none of them feel able to admit it.

    very interesting article on the beeb website today on the the evolutionary puzzle of homosexuality or the paradox as to "How can a trait like male homosexuality, which has a genetic component, persist over evolutionary time if the individuals that carry the genes associated with that trait are not reproducing?"

    Heard that rumour too. Client of mine out in darkest Dorset believes that RM is a resident of a village not far from Blandford Forum.
