Yep, somewhat interesting way that happened: Kroon would work for the AD newspaper as analyst during last year's Giro, and to get the job he would confess his doping use publicly. Due to personal reasons he couldn't accept the job, but now, a year later, the journalist with who he would make the analyses of the daily stages revealed it anyway "because I can't stay quiet when I know something like this" Now Kroon didn't get the job + had no choice but confessing publicly + won't get money (because he burned the journalist by saying he only wanted Kroon to confess so he could write another book, like with Thomas Dekker). Oh well, nowdays Kroon is mostly known for being a co-commentator on Eurosport and having anecdotes about stuff like angry dogs during his trainings or "ah, rider X, I've been in his team for some years...*minutes going by*....so then we drank a beer.".

One-day fly Four hill fly Thomas Diethart has retired. http://www.fis-ski.com/ski-jumping/news-multimedia/news/article=thomas-diethart-announces-his-retirement.html Still unbelievable that I saw him win the 4 hill tournament live in Bischofshofen and after that he had a 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th place in the next two months as only other top-10 results of his career

What's 'Swaziland'?

The first stage of the Tour of Senegal was cancelled, because there was no doctor African cycling Another chapter after the Tour of Cameroon was cancelled when half the field had already arrived. Reguigi won the second stage, beating basically nobody with any decent experience

I honestly thought he had retired a while ago...didn't see much (or remember much at least) of him after that one year where he had absolutely insane times in the first 2 months of the year.

Booooooo president of Uganda, booooooooo. https://www.rt.com/news/424513-uganda-oral-sex-warning-president/

Yeah, a quarter of a season for doping, compared to often two seasons in normal sports

Haha, 4 weeks suspension for doping (NFL player)

Quick-Step this year

Vanendert

Luckily we're almost at the finish in one of the most beautiful places ever, the ever colourful Saint-Nicolas in Liege

Wow, what a comeback from Cheruiyot. 1:40 back at the halfway mark, 1:16 at 30km, and she passed Keitany at 35.5km

Stopped...ran 10 meters...stopped....ran 20 more meters....stopped...."no, just 20 more meters"....stopped again. That's basically me when I go for a run

Good winner of the wheelchair women's race in London

1:56 pace

Decent pace (again) for the women to start the whole thing off

Well yeah, I didn't specifically think it was a coup, just saying what was mentioned before the talk about a drone came Horrible shooters by the way if they need a million shots to hit a freaking drone.

Reports of shooting near the Royal Palace in Riyadh and even word about it being a possible coup attempt.

Nabi Tajima has died today Who? Only the very last known person to be born in the 19th century, and since earlier this month the 3rd oldest person in known history, 117 years and 260 days

Starting the day with Supercars race 1 in Phillip Island

And it's much easier to use drugs and stuff there I guess (not saying that's what happened in this case, but let's be fair, often it is)

Bozen is leading 0-2 in the final game, thanks @phelps for mentioning the free YouTube stream, I've tuned in now

Awesome! The difference between the top-1 and the rest wasn't big yet, so great that we'll see them jump on even bigger hills to finally have a bit of difference

+1 for that climb Both the battle and the scenery were awesome
