This might sound outlandish, but “motorised doping” has become a hot topic. An unnamed French rider claimed to have heard a “strange noise” rumbling from Cancellara’s bike, while a YouTube video showing how it could be done has 2.6 million views. It is serious enough for the International Cycling Union to have decided to scan bikes randomly before each stage in the 2010 Tour. When asked to respond, Cancellara spluttered: “It’s so stupid, I’m speechless.”
Cancellara also showed his superstitious side, with his intention of riding the whole of the three-week Tour wearing his bib, No13, upside down because he thinks the number might otherwise bring bad luck.
Doping of a more conventional nature was also on the agenda as the Wall Street Journal published further allegations from Floyd Landis, the disgraced 2006 Tour “winner” and former team-mate of Armstrong. His claims range from Armstrong entertaining strippers and personally supplying Landis with testosterone patches in front of his wife, to detailed descriptions of blood transfusions that have the pace and subterfuge of film plots.

Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for failing a dope test and who recently admitted lying about drug use while accusing Armstrong and a number of other cyclists of cheating, told the Wall Street Journal that Armstrong organised a team bonding party attended by strippers at which cocaine was used. These new claims have been denied by Armstrong’s lawyer in a statement, and Armstrong himself has recently said that Landis is a habitual liar who had no credibility.
The newspaper article elaborates on alleged doping practices by Armstrong, his teammates and their coterie of trainers and medical staff – from alleged blood doping to the sale of brand new bikes for cash to fund the doping system that Landis claims was in place at their team that was then sponsored by US Postal Services.
…
It was claimed that four strippers – accompanied by two bouncers – also attended the party and performed a private show.
…
The newspaper quoted Armstrong’s Austin lawyer, Tim Herman, as saying: ”Mr Armstrong had no contact with strippers or cocaine.”

It’s the doping that’s the eye-catching news, but that’s nothing new; Landis has been, depending on your perspective, either truth-telling or braying on that particular subject since May, and Armstrong’s been dealing with accusations of foul play for more than a decade. The breadth and depth of Landis’ account, though, is persuasive: He puts Armstrong at a raucous strip club party with cocaine involved in 2001, says Armstrong gave him testosterone patches in front of his ex-wife in 2002, and paints Armstrong as a willing ringleader in the U.S. Postal Service team’s doping efforts. Landis also details his own doping, which began as a part of Armstrong’s team and entailed tricks like getting packages of blood from a courier disguised as a fan at the end of stages when he devised his own doping program later in his career.

Speaking of good times, what also struck us as odd was the first accusation thrown at Armstrong — Landis remembering one of his first interactions with the Texan after becoming his teammate, a party involving strippers and blow.
Now, if you have followed Lance Armstrong for any length of time, and have gotten to know him and his personality, there’s one thing you know about him: he’s no boring family man. I think I knew his beer preference (Shiner Bock) before I knew how many races he’d won. He’s the kind of guy who gives himself a nickname like “Juan Pelota” — a play on “one ball,” a reference to losing a testicle in his cancer fight. And we’ve all read about his skirt chasing from one end of the earth to the other. (Still not sure to think about the Olsen twin story, by the way.)
Anyway, so when the Journal tries to set up the stripper tale this way…
But the Journa …

HOURS before the Tour de France began yesterday, the three-week event was rocked by more controversy involving seven-time champion Lance Armstrong – but this time the claims made against him by former teammate Floyd Landis were of a far more personal nature.
Landis, who had his 2006 tour title stripped for failing a dope test and recently admitted lying about his drug use while accusing Armstrong and a number of others of cheating, has accused Armstrong of organising a team bonding party attended by strippers and where cocaine was used. The allegations were made in a Wall Street Journal article headlined ”Blood Brothers” and posted on the newspaper’s website yesterday.
The article elaborates on Landis’ claims of alleged doping practices by Armstrong, his teammates and their coterie of trainers and medical staff – from alleged blood doping to the sale of new bikes for cash to fund the doping system Landis claims was in place at their team, which was then sponsored by US Postal Services.

Republicans and Democrats remain far apart. Democrats are committed to taxes in some form — right now on oil production and delaying corporate tax benefits. Republicans are committed to opposing any new taxes.
The rhetoric will get worse before the situation gets any better. Public employee unions will attack Republicans — and possibly any Democrat who wavers — for cutting education and services for the state’s most destitute residents. Republicans, who want to eliminate or severely curtail welfare programs, will point to Los Angeles Times stories showing that welfare recipients had access to ATMs at some casinos and strip clubs.
Assembly Republican Leader Martin Garrick made those stories the subject of his radio address this weekend, saying, “We simply cannot afford to give cash to welfare recipients to spend at casinos or strip clubs or anywhere else.” Transactions at those locations represented less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all CalWORKs dollars withdrawn in a nine-month period, but the stories grab attention.

Kagan was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions about a memo from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). That memo stated, [A] select panel convened by ACOG could identify no circumstances under which [the partial-birth] procedure would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman. Kagan notated next to this sentence, This, of course, would be disaster.
When asked about it, first she tried to deny that she had written it; she would admit only that it is my handwriting. Later she acknowledged that she was in fact responsible for the comment.
Then she obfuscated with wild philosophic and legal gyrations that would put a stripper to shame: President Clinton had strong views on this issue and what he thought was that this procedure should be banned, in all cases except where the procedure was necessary to save the life or to prevent serious health consequences to the woman and those were always his principles. And we tried over the course of the period of time when this statute was being considered, actually twice, to get him absolutely the best medical evidence on this subject possible.

Vandals attack grieving Stockton couple’s car
A GRIEVING Stockton couple who lost their beautiful daughter to cancer three weeks ago have become the victims of mindless vandals.
Every night Margaret and Tony Wright, who are both disabled, take their Vauxhall Zafira mobility car and pay their respects at daughter Rachel’s grave in Thornaby Cemetery.
But the seven-seater car is off the road for at least three weeks after thugs covered it in paint-stripper as the couple visited their son, David, in Hartlepool. A much-needed family holiday to Scotland has also had to be cancelled as a result of the sickening crime on Owton Manor Lane.
The Roseworth couple have been given a temporary vehicle while theirs is repaired, but the Peugeot 207 is too small to take their grandchildren away.

Price has introduced a bill that would allow the state to begin researching the use of electronic license plates that would mimic a standard plate when the vehicle is in motion but would switch to digital ads or other messages when it is stopped for more than four seconds, whether in traffic or at a red light.
The license plate number would remain visible at all times in some section of the screen. In emergencies, the plates could be used to broadcast Amber Alerts or traffic information.
“We’re just trying to find creative ways of generating additional revenues,” Price told the Associated Press. “It’s an exciting marriage of technology with need, and an opportunity to keep California in the forefront.”
I can hear the police dispatcher now: “Attention all units. Be on the lookout for a stolen vehicle with a license plate frame advertising Tidy Bowl.”
Come to think of it, product placement could be a knotty problem. Do you want your car to flash “Viagra” every time you hit the brakes. Or pitch mortgage lenders? Or Scientology? Or strip clubs?

Very Quick Take: Wall – an athletic and skilled point guard – will give life to a stale Washington franchise. Look for Wall and Gilbert Arenas to form an exciting, high-scoring backcourt. And look for the Wizards, with new owner Ted Leonsis taking charge, to improve in 2011.
2) Evan Turner (Ohio State University to Philadelphia 76ers, shooting guard).
Very Quick Take: The rebuilding 76ers hope Turner’s all-around game makes them relevant again in Philadelphia. A mature and steady playmaker, Turner will fit next to athlete Andre Iguodala and developing Jrue Holiday.
3) Derrick Favors (Georgia Tech University to New Jersey Nets, power forward).
Very Quick Take: There’s no guarantee the Nets – even with new billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov throwing his money around like Nelly at the strip club – sign a top free agent power forward. Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, and Amar’e Stoudemire could go elsewhere, so adding Favors makes sense.
