    Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo.

  • 1997 Racing Season Brings out the Best the Steel Artistry of Glenn
    THE VOICE OF NORTHWEST CYCLING MAY 97 • FREE 1997 racing season brings out the best BY TIM ENGLE owbells, thumping tunes, hundreds of spectators...this is the distinctive flavor of CEuropean cycling venues, yet it can be en- joyed here in the Northwest. A great example of this was the U.S. National Cyclo-Cross Champi- onships held Dec. 7, 1996, in Burien, Wa. Top local racers rode impressively (garnering podium spots in nearly every category) but could have used more support from one of the most popular cycling areas in the country. A number of talented riders call the Northwest home, but, unfortunately, publicity has been few and far be- tween.

Despite an increas- ingly mechanized and technology driven 21st cen- tury, Japan is preserving the skills and talents of the individuals who make samurai swords, pot- tery and calligraphy utilizing 17th Century tech- niques and methods.

  • TRACK CYCLING – an INTRODUCTION What a Roadie Needs to Know to Start Racing on the Velodrome
    TRACK CYCLING – AN INTRODUCTION What a roadie needs to know to start racing on the velodrome Dan Currell All photography by Matt Johnson, © 2009 Special thanks to Bob Williams at the National Sports Center Velodrome in Blaine, Minnesota, and to the Saint Paul Bicycle Racing Club. Thanks also to Matt Johnson for his photography of racing at the NSC Velodrome. Track Cycling – An Introduction Twenty years ago, every American road racer had a copy of Bicycle Road Racing by Eddie Borysewicz. It had everything you needed to know to get started in the sport, and it’s a good thing that it did. It was pretty much the only guide to road racing available in the U.S. Now, of course, there is a flood of information available about road racing– which is great. But when a road racer decides to start racing on the track, there is nothing to explain the basics of track racing all in one place. This is an attempt to solve that problem. This is no Bicycle Road Racing – and I’m no Eddie B. But the challenge of helping road racers to start racing on the track is pervasive. Unlike a novice road racer, an experienced roadie in his first race on the track presents a dangerous mismatch of strength and skill. He has the legs to compete with an elite track field, and just enough skill to hurt himself and others in the process. Why is starting on the track dangerous? Because track racing appears to be much like racing on the road – and that’s misleading.

It was a fascinating project for many reasons, the biggest being the mystery glowing at its center: Who was Lance Armstrong, really? Was he a true and worthy champion, as many believed? Was he a doper and a cheat, as others insisted? Or did he live in the shadowy space in between? We rented an apartment in Armstrong’s training base of Girona, a ten-minute walk from the fortresslike home Armstrong shared with his then-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow.
