Wow, a blast from the past but now everyone will know I was taking
steroids for my back problems. It'll get trotted through the
courts, I'll vehemently deny it until someone digs through the
landfill and finds the spent bubble packs from my garbage. Then
I'll have to return the Golden Sprocket Award that sits proudly on
my shelf and bend my head in shame whenever the noon crowd comes
cycling by. Such is fame!!<br>
<br>
Good memories, wish the body was still as willing. Thanks for
digging these out Arne!<br>

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>
