Friday part 2

Breaking news:

Peter Cannell tests positive for steroid use and forfeits all results, including three Masters National Championships.
Remember all of the "we're not dopers" talk coming from NC last year? You do? Good...

He tested hot LAST YEAR, and after an investigation, admitted to previously using P.E.D.s, and took the ban.

Here's the rub...

It was an out of competition test! On a mid-30s guy in NC? Wonder if the USADA suspected anything? Part 2 of the rub? A year long investigation? Is there another shoe about to drop? Did ol' Pete snitch like Papp and Zirbel and so many others?

Shit just got real!

WTF! Glad they caught him...doping in the pro ranks, while unacceptable, can somewhat be understood (they make their livelihood riding a bike). Doping in masters races is just stupid! Hope they don't test the Cat 3s :)

Funny how he and all of the NC Masters crew either fell off the face of the Earth, or kept REALLY low profiles late last Spring...

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Or in his case...Mistakes

Amateur racers take themselves WAY too seriously. F**N drama queens.
