Default Armstrong still being tested - Comeback a first ?

From
http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story...e-to-join-team

"The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency confirmed Armstrong is part of its
out-of-competition testing pool and would be eligible for elite
competition on Feb. 1, 2009. The Amgen Tour of California begins Feb.
14.

Interesting, didn't know he was still being tested!

A comeback like this would certainly be a first in cycling as far as
I'm aware. Let's go get Ullrich now !

Ha, 'some local dude.' Right.

LANCE's performance at Leadville showed that top-level cycling was
still well within his grasp. Not that the competition was top-level,
but the performance was.

Here's an update...CycleTo received a copy of an audio interview that
Bruyneel did at the Vuelta. It's posted on the bottom of the story,
he

That's the good news...the bad news? The interview is in Spanish.

It says nothing about stage race recovery. Plenty of racers who have lost
the capacity to recover for a stage race are still huge threats in one day
races.

He's in the MTB Hall of Fame. So is his wife. Third in the MTB World
Cup one year.
