.: After seeing him climb L'Alpe d'Huez with a broken collar bone with vigor and resolve in 2003, Tyler Hamilton instantly became a favorite in my limited cycling knowledge. so it saddens me greatly to see this positive doping test story
Oh man... I'll be bummed if he's guilty. I like(d) Hamilton. And gall darn it, just another black eye for cycling. Ban all dopers... for life (in any sport)!

What was wrong with using the last link in the FPP as the base for the FPP? Silly human!

i didn't think a . with a link inserted would've made much sense. i'll do that next time i guess. or craft some text with a linked phrase at the start.

In this case homologous means blood from another person. I can see putting your own red blood cells back into your body, but getting them from someone else?
