For the last week I've been gently rocked off to sleep to the whirr of wheels and the dulcet tones of Phil Liggett and his pal. SBS's Tour coverage is excellent.

All the guys that compete in that competition are elite athletes. Its remarkable what they do. For the first time ever an Aussie is the short odds favourite. Cadel Evans has worn the yellow jersey for 3 (or is it 4) stages now - guts man!

There have been 3 exclusions for drugs so far (EPO) and I expect there will be more.
I don't even know if there are any drug rules in windsurfing let alone drug testing. I wonder what kind of drugs a windsurfing drug cheat would use? ... maybe HGH for weight gain? beta blockers perhaps? maybe steroids for the "go for it" you need. Who would be a likely drug cheat I wonder? Finian? Antoine? There's a couple of big boys. What about Kauli? Where does he find the cajones to do what he does?

Just wondering.

In Vic this time of year.....the only drug we need is a good dose of RUM!!! (generally taken AFTER a sail!)

And the word of the month is "pelleton". I've been trying to work it into everyday conversations, just to confuse people, like, "...the pelleton caught up to me at the red light..." Nice scenery on the tour though.

Give em all the drugs they want !!! Lets see what they can do !!! Quote HG & Roy.
