PrintToday's dose of first-person wisdom from the cycling world:
Chicchi80:
New controll antidoping at 9 o'clock!!!!
BTW, I am pretty sure this tweet came after the visit, so it's not a warning of some sort. But, is he excited by a visit from the controllers? Yes, I know, it does instill some confidence knowing they're doing their job, but still... Or maybe he is excited about the hour. He should be, but my guess is that he's exasperated about having to get up at 9. To which I say, on behalf of parents everywhere, fuck you. Oh, and by doping controller standards, I hear 9am is pretty lux.
O/T, I have a number of offline PdC projects in the works, so my absence for 48 hours is not a sign of inactivity. And if that doesn't satisfy you, then I guess I'll write "I love the classics" 500 times as punishment.

Yeah, I’d say 9am is a resonable time given I’ve heard of their preference for 6am!
Venga Caisse d'Epargne!
true dat
it always makes me worry when they moan as well
"well...you live in england so: you love the rain. loves the queen. hates cycling. based on mr bean had a tremendous amount of humour. all ride in a mini cooper. all getting drunk before the age of 12. getting drunk at least 3 times a day."- frinking, 7/9/09
Nah
We piss and moan about the annoying things in our everyday lives too. The ones that are worrysome are the ones who feel compelled to mention every time they are tested.
also true
being a cycling fan is a worrisome business

Is Chicchi a religious fellow.
May not enjoy having Sunday morning with his family being crashed.
Cancellara was robbed! There is none better.
Meh
I wake up well before 9 am to watch you race, you can wake up and do your stupid doping control.
Double Meh
We’ve got to get up far before 9 (and on less sleep!) to be able to ride and earn the money to support riding. They can get up every once in a while for part of their job.

For sure
My sympa is pretty much non-existent for the doping control complaints. Not like they’re making pennies, either.
I'd be a happy girl if I'd been able to lie in until 9 today....I feel blotto.
Is it really morning…and it’s a new working week?! BAH.

Is it really morning? Erm... no ;-)
Take heart – I survived Monday, and you will too :-)
I will? Thanks for the reassurance...I will overcome!
At least I get to leave work at 4.15…I have yet another concert tonight.

I recommend a hearty cup of tea. I feel a little better now.
It would help if a new ice age hadn’t arrived in my office however….

Well there's no gale coming out of the vents anymore.
I think it’s just that it’s got colder outside so it feels generally colder indoors. Might be time to put the heating on….but it’ll be ages before they do it. My colleague for some reason isn’t cold, but I am! I like warmth…perhaps I should move to Spain.
