Guess I fall into the Cat IV sample... just last week-end I had a caffeinated Gu to get me through the last 25 miles of a hilly century.

But seriously, thanks for the link. Interesting, but chilling, reading.

The story gets even more interesting, in an unfortunate way. Read the following post and then "RC's" answer further down in the thread.

It seems that someone figured out who the guy is, and posted his identity on the forum. Then the guy wrote a long, angry reply in which he says that he'll never post again to that forum.

I find it unfortunate that someone divluged his identity despite his request for annoymity. He wasn't careful enough at covering his tracks, which isn't very smart. But, the violation of his request for privacy should have been respected. And it's too bad because he offered many interesting insights to pro racing, ones going well beyond the doping issue.

Cheers,
