Some advice to Alberto Contador -
Go veggie.
(Thinks) I wonder if there is such a thing as a vegetarian road racing cyclist. Come to think of it, are there any vegetarian sportspersons?

About Me
- Jemmy Hope
- "Grandad's swearing at the telly..." (Alan Klein, "What a Crazy World.") Old, tired and somewhat disillusioned, but trying to keep up standards. Aware that capitalism cannot be reformed, but despairing of its dissolution in the near future, I use whatever means are available to me to avoid capitulation. I join forces with other resisters in the Industrial Workers of the World.

Robert Millar, Scot pro cyclist and the only Brit to win the TDF climbers jersey was/is a vegetarian.
Also I think the Aussie Alan Peiper was one as well.
So it can be done. Thanks for this, Jim.
Robert Millar was a great athlete. Does he live in Italy now?
Not sure where he lives now Jemmy. There were reports that he had undertaken gender reassignment but they could be urban myth.
Whatever, he was one talented cyclist.

Yes, I believe that the gender thing has been declared false. I suppose the manner in which R.M. just disappeared after giving up competitive cycling has given rise to all kinds of rumours.
