Arrest warrant issued for Floyd Landis

An arrest warrant for Floyd Landis was issued late last month in France. The American rider is charged in connection with the computer hacking of an anti-doping laboratory. According to Agency France Presse, the warrant is valid for France, suggesting he will only be arrested if he steps foot on French soil.

Atomic Racing member stands tall in World Transplant Games

Atomic Racing member Aron Cleugh captured second place in his division in both the Road Race and Individual TT at the 17th annual World Transplant Games held on the Gold Coast of Australia in August. Aron was 2 seconds behind the Australian winner in the TT, and a bike length behind the winner of the RR (another man from Oz).

Aron underwent a kidney transplant a year ago, and has since fought and trained hard to earn the form he needed to place second in these tough events. Atomic Racing is proud to have Aron as one of our members, and we wish him and all transplant athletes the best of success at the next Games in Sweden in 2011.

The World Transplant Games have been in existence for more than 25 years. The first Transplant Olympics were held in Portsmouth in 1978 – an international event with teams from France, Germany, Greece and the United States competing. Since these early beginnings with some 99 competitors, the Games have grown and now attract up to 3000 competitors from up to 70 countries. The International Summer Games are held every two years and in the intervening years, the Winter Games are held. For more information visit www.worldtransplantgames09.com

Lance, Jens and Levi

The Livestrong site has been posting “behind the scenes” videos starring fan favourites from the pro peloton. Here’s an amusing one featuring everyone’s favourite German, Jens Voigt

I also recommend the Zabriskie interview, which as expected, is kind of weird.
