Bit o' trivia there: Nicky Hayden is sponsored by Specialized, he trains
on the road a lot.
(It seems to work pretty well for him, eh?)

If it is an allergy, people can develope them at any time even if
they had no previous symptoms. I never had allergies until my late
teens. My fiance, now 30 and an Oregon native, never had allergies
until this year. In my opinion, Millar screwed up, did the time, and
now seems like he wants to help the sport. Watch the interview on
velonews.com. To me, Millar seems like he actually gives a crap
about this sport and it pains him to see that soo many people are
still on the "dark side".
All I know is if George Hincapie gets popped, I'm telling
everybody I'm selling my bikes and buying another motorcycle
dedicated to racing. Haven't heard of blood doping in Moto GP. :)

Yeah, regarding the bizarre skin issue...

I was wondering about that, seeing him wearing arm warmers and
lathered up w/ sunscreen. I was wondering how someone could suddenly
develope an "allergy to the sun" when, after all these years, he
seemed to be just fine. Do people develop that over time, or is it a
symptom of some other substance being used, like a side effect? Maybe
it's the French hotel sheets? :)

The counter points are:

- Uphill TT: In an uphill TT the difference is bigger but in a mass start
road event the difference would be smaller. If the event was rope climbing
the difference would be even bigger.
- Grand tour TT: The time differences between leaders and back of the pack
riders are not unique to grand tour events but also apply to stand alone
events. If anything you would expect the difference at stand alone events
to be even smaller as poor time trialist are less likely to start.
- David Millar; You have to love studies with an N of 1. David Millar 2006
World TT Championship 15th, not last (52 riders), 3 seconds back. TDF
places; 2000 62nd, 2002 68th, 2003 55th, 2007 currently 68th (with a bizarre
skin issue).

I am not arguing that blood boosting is not effective. There is no question
that it is. The argument is over just how much. It does no good to
overstate the performance increase as this only encourages use.
