Thanks, thanks, yes, it’s good to be back. You may have noticed — or not, as the case may be — that the “Neighborhood’ has been on hold for the past few weeks while I took an almost perfect vacation in my previous hometowns of San Francisco and Santa Cruz following the T-Mobile International, September 14. The week after the race was spent in a flurry of cab rides, cocktail napkins and late breakfasts, as any good city vacation should — the kind you enjoy but afterwards wonder how you could ever possibly maintain. All that came to a screeching halt last Tuesday when I returned to an

Olympic and world champion Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel established a new world women's hour record at the Olympic velodrome in Mexico City on Wednesday, covering 46.065km in an hour, surpassing the earlier record of 45.094km set by Jeannie Longo on the same track in December of 2000. Cycling's world governing body, the UCI, originally credited Zijlaard-Van Moorsel with a distance of 46.397km but officials later said that there had been a measurement error. The 33-year-old Dutchwoman, who is fresh from defending her individual pursuit title at the world track championships in Stuttgart in

The United States Anti-Doping Agency has announced the suspensions of two cyclists this week, a track racer who tested for an elevated testosterone-epitestosterone ratio and a former world masters downhill champion who tested positive for the presence of THC. USADA announced Tuesday that Chesen Frey, 29, accepted a two-year suspension after tests conducted at the American Velodrome Challenge in his home town of Colorado Springs in June showed an elevated T/E ratio. USADA and other proponents of the test say the result is an indication of the use of exogenous testosterone, a practice banned

The U.S. Cycling Federation’s 2004 Elite National Road Championships, to be held June 16-19 in and around Redlands, California, will determine three members of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team, USA Cycling announced Friday. Nominations will go to the winners of the elite women's time trial and road race, and to the winner of the USA Cycling Team Selection Race, an invitational with a field limited to the top 150 U.S. athletes in the USCF National Racing Calendar standings as of June 1; the top 50 U.S. athletes in the UCI road rankings on that date; and the top five U.S. finishers in the Armed

With the recent announcement that Saturn has ended its sponsorship of its men’s and women’s cycling teams, I think everyone — besides being a little saddened by the news — has taken a trip down memory lane and come up with some of their best recollections and stories about the team. After 11 years and countless race wins and national championships, everyone will have their own special memories about the team. In looking back, it seems to me that one aspect of the team’s incredible history has been brushed over: its great success in American cyclo-cross, in particular the dominance of Frank

Two days to go and Roberto is within striking distance of the golden jersey. With each accent in the course the last few days he has been able to take back some time from Nozal. The uphill time trial tomorrow will decide the race. Although the course is tough and very steep in sections, it may not be long enough for Roberto to take back close to two minutes from Nozal. Over the last week Roberto has become stronger while his rivals have weakened. And we are all hoping there may be a chance he’ll be able to win the race. Yesterday’s stage from Las Rosas-Las Rosas was easy looking on the

Dear Bob;A year or so ago, my apartment was broken into, and my bicycle wasstolen. It was a classic Italian racing bike from the early 1980’s, soI didn’t get all that much money from my insurance company. Recently, I went to a century ride and started riding in a pacelinewith a group of cyclists I didn’t know. As I dropped back from riding onpoint, I looked over, and there was my old bicycle! I followed the guy back to the finish line, got his auto tag numberand called the cops. They say they are looking into it, but nothing sofar. What would have happened if I had just grabbed the bike,

The World Anti-Doping Agency appears to be taking steps to settle a dispute over news leaks that flared earlier in the week with the Union Cycliste Internationale and its president Hein Verbruggen. The dispute resulted in a UCI threat to ban WADA from future cycling events. The UCI threat came after the publication of portions of WADA’s Independent Observer Report on this year’s Tour de France in Monday’s edition of L’Equipe several days prior to the scheduled release of the largely complimentary report (see "WADAgives tentative nod to Tour doping effort"). The UCI and several other affected

Cycling's world governing body the UCI on Tuesday said it wanted nothing more to do with the World Anti-Doping Agency following the leaking of its report into this summer's Tour de France. The UCI took its decision to ban WADA inspectors from future cycling events after the drug agency's verdict on the 2003 Tour appeared prematurely in the French sports daily L'Equipe on Monday. In a statement the UCI said that "its confidence in the system put in place by WADA had been seriously damaged," adding that "no observer from this organization will be recognized at upcoming cycling events. This

Heras gained time, but less than he had hoped

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), in a report issued early because of news leaks, has given the fight against drugs in this year's Tour de France a cautious endorsement but noted testing procedures included "weaknesses." The WADA Independent Observers report from the Tour de France published Monday said that since the doping scandal featuring the Festina team rocked the 1998 Tour, "things have changed for the better," but added that "weaknesses" in the testing procedures "can help potential cheats to bypass the system or help them find ways to assist their defense." The report was made
