Bryan Sax was a champion

One of our brothers from the CU Ski Team days, Bryan Sax, has died in a plane crash in Florida. Sax was our own "Tomba" on the CU team, his boisterous personality anchoring the Buffs as we cruised towards the NCAA title. He was champion of the GS at NCAAs in '95 and also had a strong impact on his home region of Colorado. After graduation, Sax moved back to Aspen where he continued to infect those around him with his huge smile and monster hugs. Sax became a pilot and was in the process of getting advanced teaching certification for multi-engine aircraft at the time of the accident. Bryan Sax, a giant of a human being, will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace Saxy.

Rock's Leogrande suspended for 2 years for Superweek doping

Michael Ball's Rock Racing team continues to impress, NOT! Kayle Leogrande, the tatted up rebel without a cause, has been suspended by WADA and USADA for two years for doping violations that stemmed from an incident at Superweek in 2007. Leogrande won 3 stages at Superweek and came just short of winning the overall honors, falling just 5 points short of Marco Rios from Mexico. The two years suspension will begin on Dec. 1, 2008, meaning Leogrande won't be able to make a successful return until the spring of 2011. Leogrande's transgressions are the latest for Rock Racing, who are making a habit of attracting, or generating negative attention on the sport of cycling, something the sport hardly needs at this time. But this incident brings more speculation. Is it likely that Leogrande doped without any knowledge from management or other teammates. Actually, not likely at all, so, who knew what and who else was involved, where did he get the EPO, etc.? Given the fact that the Rock was on fire again this year at Superweek with Rashaan Bahati and Sterling Magnell, and given the fact that CERA was not outed until after Superweek took place. ??????????????????????? How can anyone trust Rock Racing at all anymore? Or why would we trust them ever in the first place? Answer - We don't, we never did, we never will.
