A few of my favorites

Fear and Loathing in Plano
As head of EDS's Global Sports Marketing program, Nick Chenowth was on a roll. He had the custom tailored Italian suits, a string of Ferraris and ran the most heavily sponsored bicycle racing program in America.  Racing in master's track events around the world, Chenowth was even known to fly a corporate jet to a bicycle race now and then.

Today he sits in a federal prison in Texas. Find out why.

Ever since she turned pro in 1995, mountain-bike racer Anne Trombley struggled to keep her career on track. At 36, Trombley decided it was time to call it quits... but not before realizing her Olympic dreams.

Strock Speaks
When Greg Strock looks back at what could have been an outstanding pro cycling career, he says he feels more than nostalgia. Along with a few good memories is a mix of frustration, disenchantment and even anger. Now a doctor, the former cyclist says he was systematically doped by his American coaches as he raced in Europe as a junior.

A conversation with Steve Larsen
A new gig and maybe a new outlook.
There's a new Steve Larsen these days and he seems a heck of a lot happier than the old one.
