Enjoy! <\/p>\n
The big newsbreak of the day leaves us wondering if there\u2019s such a thing as a clean cyclist.<\/p>\n
Cycling news:Tour De France winner Contador tests positive for doping<\/strong> Here we go again. Three-time Tour de France winner and reigning champion Alberto Contador is the latest high-profile cyclist to test positive for doping. A World Anti-Doping Agency found a \u201cvery small concentration\u201d of clenbuterol, a banned substance, in his urine sample on July 21 at the Tour de France.<\/p>\n Contador insists the positive test came from contaminated steak, as cows are sometimes given clenbuterol to increase their growth. He ate the meat on July 20 and 21.<\/p>\n Whether he was doping or not, I have to wonder if it matters any more. If every cyclist takes PEDs, there\u2019s no real advantage anyway.<\/p>\n NFL news: Jaguars\u2019 Kassim Osgood attacked in cheerleader\u2019s home<\/strong><\/p>\n Kassim Osgood is a three-time Pro Bowler as a special teamer. Now, he\u2019s part of story that sounds like it\u2019s straight out of a movie.<\/p>\n On Monday night, he was at the home of 19-year-old Jaguars cheerleader Mackenzie Rae Putnal when a man entered wearing a plastic bag on his head and brandishing a gun. He pulled Putnal by the hair, punched her and hit her with the gun. He also pistol whipped Osgood. Eventually, Putnal escaped, grabbed a gun of her own and exchanged gunfire with the man \u2013 who was identified as Julian Armond Bartletto, her ex-boyfriend. Both of them missed.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Osgood leapt out a window and ran next door to call the police. Bartletto was found at his home, arrested for aggravated battery, false imprisonment, armed robbery, burglary and violation of an injunction. <\/p>\n NBA news: Dwight Howard releases album, LeBron James blames race for \u201cDecision\u201d backlash<\/strong><\/p>\n Dwight Howard is now a recording artist. His album, \u201cShoot for the Stars,\u201d is almost ready for its release. But this isn\u2019t Shaq Diesel or Allen Iverson. Apparently Howard has put together a squeaky-clean album on which he croons about following your dreams. Seriously.<\/p>\n Young kids do backup vocals on every song and the proceeds go to the BETA Center, an Orlando-based organization that provides children and parents with knowledge and support to build strong, healthy families. You can pre-order all the fun for $13.98.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with CNN, LeBron James suggested that massive negative backlash against\u00a0The Decision <\/em>was racially motivated. He also pointed out that people forget about the $3 million the program raised for the Boys & Girls Club of America.<\/p>\n NHL news: Canadiens name Brian Gionta captain<\/strong><\/p>\n After scoring 28 goals last year, Brian Gionta is now the 28th<\/sup> captain in Montreal Canadiens history. After Saku Koivu\u2019s departure, the Habs went captainless last season. But the diminutive Gionta showed real leadership and cemented his status as a clutch player with nine goals in 19 playoff games.<\/p>\n Gionta is the second American to captain Montreal in the franchise\u2019s 101-year history.<\/p>\n Comments are welcome below!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Thursday September 30th, 2010.
