(EJiiPfflNITHIS Lance Armstrong Has Something to Get Off His Chest He doesn't use performance-enhancing drugs, he insists, no matter what his critics in the European press and elsewhere say. And yet the accusations keep coming. How much scrutiny can the two-time Tour de France winner stand? by Michael Hall In May of last year, Lance Armstrong was riding in the Pyrenees, preparing for the upcoming Tour de France. He had just completed the seven-and-a-half-mile ride up Hautacam, a treacherous mountain that rises 4,978 feet above the French countryside. It was 36 degrees and raining, and his team's director, Johan Bruyneel, was waiting with a jacket and a ride back to the training camp. But Lance wasn't ready to go. "It was one of those moments in my life I'll never forget," he told me. "Just the two of us. I said, 'You know what, I don't think I got it. I don't understand it.1 Johan said, 'What do you mean? Of course you got it. Let's go.' I said, 'No, I'm gonna ride all the way down, and I'm gonna do it again.' He was speechless. And I did it again." Lance got it; he understood Hautacam—in a way that would soon become very clear.

EuskaltelEuskaltel----EuskadiEuskadi This team is made up almost entirely of cyclists from the Basque Country. Samuel Sánchez, Gold Medalist at the Beijing Olympics, narrowly missed the podium in this year’s Tour de France. Rabobank The orange-garbed team brings a 100% Dutch line-up to Québec and Montréal, led by Robert Gesink, a 24-year-old full of promise who finished 6th overall in the 2010 Tour de France, and solid lieutenants like Joost PosthumaPosthuma and Bram Tankink.

  • Fra Jenter Til Kvinner
    Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning Fra jenter til kvinner En kvalitativ analyse av norske mediers dekning av kvinnefotballen i det 21. århundret. Malin Bredahl Woll Masteroppgave i SOS-3981 sosiologi ved lektorutdanninga 8-13, mai 2021 i Sammendrag Denne oppgaven handler om kvinnefotball og deres representasjon i media i det 21. århundret. Formålet med oppgaven er å undersøke omtalen av kvinnefotballen i media, og å se på hvor mye de skrives om. Det har også vært et mål å se på fotballspiller som yrke for kvinner og om de møter på barrierer som hindrer de videre i arbeidslivet. Ved å bruke to aviser, VG og Adresseavisen, er det telt antall artikler om kvinnefotball og herrefotball fra 2000-2019 for å sammenligne. Ved bruk av kvalitativ dokumentanalyse og innholdsanalyse er artiklene plassert inn i tre forskjellige kategorier. De teoretiske analyseverktøyene som har vært brukt i oppgaven er Pierre Bourdieus teori om det sosiale rom og felt, og hans begreper om kapital-formene og habitus. Videre er feministisk teori om femininitet og maskulinitet benyttet, og teorien om glasstaket i arbeidslivet. Analysen har bestått av tre kategorier som ble til som følge av min datainnsamling og innholdsanalysen av disse. «Jentene», «diskriminering» og «heltinnene» er de tre utvalgte kategoriene i analysen. Kategoriene er også delt inn etter en tidslinje, der første kategori tar for seg de tidligste årene av utvalget, og så følger de to andre linjen videre. Hovedfunnet som er gjort er at det finnes en ending i omtalen og omtalefrekvensen av kvinnefotballen i media som har skjedd i det 21. århundret.

In a different mood Armstrong dubbed the Tour as "the most gallant athletic endeavor in the world." He may well have been right on both occasions. The Tour de France was created by Henri Desgrange who was looking for a way to promote his cycling newspaper, L'Auto. In the first year it was a simple six-stage loop of 2,428 kilometers around France. Riders worked alone with no crew or assistants to help them along the way. In 1906, to add to the challenge, a stage was added into the Pyrenees.
