There doesn't seem to be any video content when I visit these links. What am I missing here?
I can still obtain the second link. Maybe one has to be an xfinity subscriber to view it. |
You know what's weird?
There's been ZERO ****ing coverage of the fact that Madalyn Godby won the keirin at the Berlin World Cup. Nothing from USAC, news outlets, nuthin'. It was an amazing sprint too. |

Wow.
1: Congrats to Madalyn. 2: I believe that meets the criteria to qualify for the highest tier of financial support from USA Cycling. 3: WTF, USA Cycling? |

I just learned that Kawasaki keirinjo (Urban Bank) has a pretty excellent English language webpage with a very clear schedule of races, something I wish ALL keirin tracks had. Also handy guides in English on how to bet:
Kawasaki Urban Bank I wanted to see some racing when I was in Japan in 2015 but without any Japanese friends was totally out of luck with schedules etc. |

Live stream of the Swiss Track Cycling Challenge, i dont think it is geo locked https://www.tissotvelodrome.ch/home/rennen-live-stream/
John Archibald done a 4.10.177 in the IP this afternoon. Second fastest time ever and would be the sea level record (if 450m is considered sea level). Like Ashton Lambie he is in his late 20s and a relative late comer to track - it was only just over a year ago he was doing his first races at the Glasgow track league. |

I updated the graph... https://googledrive.com/host/0BzwSdU...GdKVk0/2d.html Did anyone downloaded this file? Thank you |
Training software program to practice 500m and 2k IP
What is the best way to practice 500m and 2k IP on training software like Zwift, Rouvy etc? Is there a way to create exact distance like 500m or 2k to time oneself? I have both a Tacx Neo and Elite Real E-Motion Smart rollers I want to use for this during the winter.

I heard there are new track frames listed on the UCI approved frame list. I can't find this list on the UCI web site (or anywhere else) - where is this list?
The UCI web site is a very poor site imho! |

Google got rid of their site hosting. I just put it up on GitHub, so it's available again. And anyone can download it and modify TrackBikeGraphData.js to add bikes. Feel free to contribute back too. And if anyone is in need of a javascript project, modifying the chart code to allow the label legend to expand past the height of the graph would allow for more models to be displayed at once.

I made a training video for easy access and I will be uploading more programs from @upupup.
This is my first time making a video, so please feel free to tell me how to improve this video. Thanks The program is from upupup. If this video violates anything please tell me |

The video is a good idea but needs tweaking to make it user friendly.
At the moment you couldn't run it without having the UpUYpUp plan open in-front of you as well. It doesn't say what gear you need for some of the intervals until you start it. For example at 14.06 it goes into a rest period and just says "next, seated rolling", but nothing about gear selection. That only appears once the interval has started. Hope that helps |

I'm sort of conflicted on that.
On the one hand, it seems pretty ridiculous to spend the money to test, multiple times, a 90 year old who is the only competitor in his field. On the other hand, if you are truly committed to removing doping from the sport, you kind of have to test everyone. |

Yeah, this is a weird one.
Let's rearrange the order of the paragraphs and it makes sense. Situation 1: “Grove, 90, tested positive for epitrenbolone, which is a metabolite of the prohibited substance trenbolone, as the result of an in-competition urine sample he provided on July 11th, 2018 after setting a world record at the Masters Track National Championships. During Usada’s investigation into the circumstances of his case, Grove provided the agency with information which established that the source of his positive test was more likely than not caused by contaminated meat consumed the evening before competing on July 11th, 2018. Prior to consuming the meat, Grove had tested negative for prohibited substances during an in-competition test on July 10th, 2018.” July 11: Set a world record. Get drug tested. Traces of epitrenbolone are present. Fail. What happened between the July 10 test and the July 11 test? Steak Dinner. That's unfortunate, but it happened. But, at least he has the July 10 sample as rock-solid proof that the ingestion happened between the July 10 test and the July 11 test. I don't think steroids can work in less than 24 hours, so it stands to reason that he did get it from a nice steak dinner. Situation 2: Now...Here's what's messed up. During the investigation, it seems that he handed over whatever supplements he had at the house in a "full disclosure" kinda way...and they tested the stuff in the bottles and found clomiphene. “While investigating the source of his positive test, it was also determined that a supplement Grove was using prior to July 11th, 2018 was contaminated with clomiphene. So, in an effort to try to explain Situation 1, he digs a deeper hole and creates Situation 2. Clomifene is sometimes used in the treatment of male hypogonadism as an alternative to testosterone replacement therapy. It has been found to increase testosterone levels by 2- to 2.5-fold in hypogonadal men. Situation 2 sounds like some tainted "Be Awesome" stack from a supplement store. It's well-known that supplement makers will add stuff like this to pre-made "stacks" in order to boost gains. They will list innocuous things on the label and add real stuff inside to boost gains (and chatter about the product). It's a weird and effed-up game. There is a Frontline documentary about this that every athlete (at any level) should watch: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/f...ts-and-safety/ What 91 year old Grove has going for him is: - He's 91. Who the hell cheats at age 91 when you are usually the only person in your age group. - He was the only person in his age group in all 3 events at Nationals - He took tests back to back. Passed #1, ate dinner, failed #2. He can probably provide a receipt from the steak dinner if needed. - (I assume that) he has a bottle of a supplement that contains Clomifene that does not list it in the ingredients on the label. This explains the slap on the wrist warning. Here's the real kicker...what if an elite or "fast master" were in a similar situation? They may not get the benefit of the doubt. |
