http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lance-armstrong-support-website-faces-backlash
regarding this site-
http://www.lancesupport.org/blog/messages-of-support.html which apparently
allows un-moderated comments. That's hardly the definition of a site being
"hacked" though. Cyclingnews doesn't quite seem to be all-there lately.

My apologies; Cyclingnews didn't say the site had been "hacked" but rather
"hijacked" and that, in fact, is an appropriate description.

And this is news? Must be a really slow day at CyclingNews central.

Brian doesn't like serious questions that challenge his view of the
world.

Landis would have done.

Wait until cyclingnews sees the fucking YouTube cartoons of Lance and Mini-Me
Levi - the headline will be "Lance Detractor Hijacks YouTube."
