YGD #tannage #doping #donate

Yikes! It's been a couple weeks since an update. A lot happening. Dudes are getting busted at Gran Fondos, Dudes are dropping like flies at Giro and Lost River. Dudes are more burned out from racing than Shaggy is after an all night mystery caper.


Wanted to drop a line and award the Hains Point Thigh High the coveted YGD Pint Glass for his dominant display of tannage. I know who you are...but don't have your address. Send it over to me and I'll get this out ASAP.

I don't want to beat a dead horse about David Anthony, the guy that got busted with EPO in his veins at Grand Fondo NYC, but I think this is his Facebook page.  Make sure you stop by there and give him some words of 'support.'




I also want to make sure my readers are aware of a local campaign to raise funds for local drug controls at Mid-Atlantic Racing. Please make sure you stop by and check out what John is doing. Basically, he is trying to raise funds to have a local anti-doping control at at least one local race in 2013 and will soon be in the fundraising mode.You are lucky that an individual has taken this upon himself (because nobody else has).

We don't make a ton of money here selling socks and shirts and whatnot but we would like to start donating at least $1 for every unit sold starting immediately. So..now you can buy from YGD and be snarky and smug at the same time without having to buy a hybrid vehicle. It's not gonna be a lot, but it gonna be something.

These tanlines are impressive. Old YGD is a fairskinned fellow and usually when July rolls through, he gets a leg tanline for about a week...then it's gone. So..thanks everybody for sending in your pics. We couldn't get them all up but have chosen a select few that we deem YGD worthy.

We'll keep the poll up for a week and announce the winner shortly after. Remember a YGD Pint Glass in on the line. BIG MONEY!! In the meantime, work on your calf tanlines with the brand new You Got Dropped 5 inch cuffed crew sock which just dropped in our store (upper right hand of this page) now. They look like dis:

Douchebag of the Week

It's been a long time since we had a 'douchebag of the week.' We'll probably have more as the Tour de France unfolds and new doping allegations come forth. Don't even get us started on Ricco right now. Another level.

The MABRA list had a golden nugget of douchebaggery. Dan posts:


Are there any steps that can be taken when a race-promoter does not provide the results to USA cycling and does not respond to emails asking why not?
It sucks to pay money for race registration, finish well and not have the results acknowledged on USA cycling. 
Anyone have any luck contacting USA cycling in these situations?
The race in question was the Bryan Park Circuit Race on Saturday June 16th.
Thanks,
Dan

Rather than complaining about your results you should be kissing the feet of the promoter, the usacycling officials and me for making local cycling awesome. The promoter is probably busy with his day-job, maybe his family, and other things that aren't related to cycling. YGD agrees that it is awesome to have results posted on USA Cycling the evening or day after the race but it shouldn't be expected. Have you ever tried to submit a spreadsheet to USA Cycling after a race. It's rocket surgery.  Most promoters aren't doing this full-time and it's basically a volunteer gig that MIGHT put some funds in their team's coffers. Get over it and buy a t shirt from us...we have them in pink now.  Also, triple spaced on your rebuttal. Well done.
