I've been away for a while and it's time to get back on track. What has happened the last two weeks. There was a good return to racing on a Tuesday Worlds and a mixed result at Webster. Lots of fitness to be gained but progress is being made. Although, I have been a total slug this week.

What else has been going on? It's almost Tour time so the doping excrement is hitting the fan all over the place.
Mayo gets implicated for having high testosterone and the cleared because it is natural...
DiLuca, Mazzoleni, Simoni and Ricco are looked at funny for testing with LOW testosterone levels on the same stage...
DiLuca and Mazzoleni are called before prosecutors in a 3yr old doping case...
UCI announces it is targeting so called "Men in Black" for odd training practices and claims they have scored some non-negative results...
Trying to look innocent, Vino say's "Don't look at Astana. We train in black to avoid fans"...
Astana suspends Mazzoleni...
Petacchi is suspended for asthma med even though he has a TUE...
Piepoli is being investigated for asthma med even though he has a TUE....
Kessler from Astana tests positive for testosterone...
Vino inserts foot in mouth (nah, that didnt really happen)...
Despite repeated claims of innocence in the Puerto affair, Jaksche will now supposedly talk to German magazine Spiegel, WADA, UCI and justice officials about doping...

And we still have a week to go before the Tour starts. What a mess.
