Another of those now you see it ...
The September issue of procycling is now on sale in the United Kingdom, where it is published. It usually shows up in my local Borders, Barnes & Noble or Tower Records during the first week of the month, but will probably be a little later due to a content overhall thanks to the sport's latest doping scandal. And this month, with cycling at a crossroads, the magazine investigates the options facing the sport.
The editors write: "The September issue of procycling focuses the revolution required in the sport in the wake of Floyd Landis's positive test at the Tour de France and a variety of other doping scandals. We ask riders, manufacturers, team managers and other cycling insiders for their impressions on the scandals and where they think professional cycling should go next. We also analyse 10 very different solutions to the doping problem, ranging from the legalisation [don't you love the way the British spell?] of doping to encouraging more police involvement in the issue. In the final part of our revolution focus, we explain why the riders themselves need to take a stand on the issue in order for any solution to be reached. "
