My USA TODAY friend and cycling writer, Sal Ruibal, has an online exclusive with Bad Boy Floyd. The story updates Landis' surgery and legal battles to clear his name from doping allegations resulting from a positive test during the Tour de France that could end up costing him the title (AP photo).The story was posted at 6:07 p.m. ET Saturday, off of USAT's Monday-to-Friday publishing cycling.
Good for Sal.
Good for USAT.
Good for print journalism in general, which finally realizes that you don't have to wait for the paper to publish the news.
What do you know about DNA samples posited to become compulsory, and/or le tour being shortened with more rest days?
ReplyDeleteI've read a little about both stories but haven't had time to really study them or write anything.
ReplyDeleteI'm attending the Online News Association convention through Saturday in Washington D.C. (not much of a trip for me!), and won't be blogging much this week ... :(
Hopefully, the other Cranks will have something to say ... :)
