Fellow Bikers,<br>
I've been recently contact by leTour officials about the 2001,
2002 and 2003 Kiln Creek Sprint series. Since Armstrong has given
up defending and has been stripped of his titles, the tour
organization went through the entire competitor list and could not
find a clean athlete to declare the official victor. They then
search <b>all </b>the cycling competitions in 2001 through 2003
and again could not a clean rider. That is until someone mentioned
to them about an obscure sprint series held in Newport News Va.
TdF Race director Christian Prudhome contacted me a few weeks ago
to verify the integrity of the our series and the results. It took
a while to dig out these old archives (Thanks Matt!) and deliver the
statistics to Christian. <br>

I had to fabricate some clean urine samples, but that was easily
done. Although our modest sprint series didn't quite match up to
the scale of the Tour de France he felt that our commitment to
clean cycling should not go unnoticed. Christian is a little
embarrassed by the whole doping culture and so you might not hear
about this in the news. Nevertheless he assured me that our own
Will Oren and formally our own Doug Kieper will be declared the
victors of the 2003, 2002 and 2001 Tour de France. Let me be the
first to congratulate them on this honor!!! All Hail our formal
Sprint Kings and the new TdF champions!!!! <br>

<p>Cheers!<br>
