Slipstream cycling team pushing clean riding
The New York Times ran a really interesting article today about a cycling team that's going above and beyond in order to prove its riders are not using performance-enhancing drugs.
About this blog
While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.
Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.
After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
I just posted that story to Digg -- thanks for posting an entry about it!
I don't think I'll ever be pro, but I'd hate to think the future of cycling means doing 50 blood tests a year. Ouch!
