Oh, and welcome to the Nanny States of Hillary, the rest of you. You’re next.
Sheesh. And people wonder why I’m a libertarian.

UCI making a fight of it
Looks like the Union Cycliste Internationale isn’t going to take the ASO’s ban of Astana lying down. The most significant part of the story to me is:
“McQuaid pointed to Astana’s in-house clean-up as proof of the team’s intentions. Astana is now led by Johan Bruyneel and features none of the riders that made up last year’s scandal-plagued season.”
Maybe Johan was right after all, and it’s just politics. I didn’t realize the team was completely new with none of the old riders. I’m rooting for the UCI in this one. To ban last year’s Tour champion and 2nd runner up for no good reason, with flimsy excuses of “image” when they haven’t taken action against any of the other teams that tarnished the image (like Rabobank), smacks of some kind of petulance.
Further reports to come as events unfold in this battle.
My first weblog and personal webpage of note
I’ve decided that rather than a full website, my interests are too varied to have them separated on all kinds of different web pages, and since I’m writing this more for family and friends than the world at large, it’s best to keep things compact. The blog format also allows me to update content easily and infrequently, depending on whether I actually have anything interesting to say…
…which I do not at the moment. Hence, this test post to see if my site even works.
