Why are so many pro riders coming down with "stomach problems"? Botero out
the rest of season with "stomach problems". Five of eight Kelme out of Tour
of Portugal "stomach problems". Seems every other day a rider comes down
with an ntestinal disorder of one type or another. Even Armstrong had a
bout earlier this year. Someone might want to tell them that it ain't by
eating burritos that they'll get to be like Lance.

Eating many 4-8,000 calories daily, drinking many quarts of water
daily, traveling a lot and eating in strange restaurants all put a lot
of stress on the stomach. As does racing.

That's not right.

However, judging by this year's results I would say his stomach problem is
its size.

Damn, that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. What sport would you play if
you lived in Belgium?

Pidgeon races are very popular in Belgium. That's the "sport" practiced by

but Tosi is right about the pigeons, although the sport is disappearing together
with my granpa's generation.
BTW, doping rages high in that sport. And the main strategical ploy used is
'widowhood'. Serious stuff.

I'm in tune alright. Right now it's 41C on my south german balcony. And to
think, where I used to live is in the mid 20s right now, whereas in past
years it was always over 30 at this time. I just can't escape the swelter.
