	CNN/SI - Cycling - Moser: 'Pure' cycling an illusion - Friday April 09, 1999 04:03 PM
		PARIS (Reuters) -- Cycling legend Francesco Moser, one of the first riders to admit to taking performance enhancers, is convinced the sport cannot get rid of doping.
		Speaking before the tough Paris-Roubaix classic which he won three times, Moser said he had been shocked by police raids in last July's Tour de France, claiming that riders should not be prevented from doing their job, regardless of the doping issue.
		Moser, who admitted substances like the banned hormone EPO were dangerous, said they should be banned for amateurs but not for professionals.

		Cycling struggles to get a mention in the mainstream British media, as it's neither cricket or football and even throughout the weeks of 'Le Tour' you have to search through most newspapers for a report of the previous days stage, if in fact they've bothered at all.
		In 1993, albeit for a brief period only and perhaps for all the wrong reasons, that was all to change courtesy of one man, Graeme Obree, when he smashed the world hour record of Francesco Moser comprehensively.
		What the press seemed to miss was Graeme's pure athletic ability and his determination to beat a world record previously only attempted by the top European Professionals, at the pinnacle of their careers and using state of the art technology.

		Pro cyclists have opposed wearing the helmets all the time because they are heavy and make the riders sweat.

		This was the Giro of redemption for disgraced Marco Pantani who's comeback is crowned with a dramatic near-win in a mountain stage as the race crosses the Alps to Briancon.
		But the destiny of the pink jersey hung on the outcome of a tight battle between three extraordinary climbers: the wafer thin, razor-sharp Francesco Casagrande; Stefano Garzelli, Pantani's lietenant and understudy; and Gilbert Simoni, the little man from Francesco Moser's hometown of Trento.
		Marvel at the incredible passion and sometimes frightening enthusiasm of the 'tifosi' and be amazed by the awesome footage of the battle between Felice Gimondi and the great Eddy Merckx, who by a margin of only 12 seconds wins his fifth Giro to equal the record of Alfredo Binda and Fausto Coppi.

	Back to the Past--The Hour Record Goes Retro
		But, the critics pointed out, Moser was clearly aided by the new aerodynamic approach to bike design--without a sloping frame and disc wheels he could never have surpassed the great Merckx and broken the 50km barrier.
		Equally remarkable was the fact that it was an amateur, Graeme Obree from Scotland, who snatched the record away from Moser on a home-made bike.
		He did it by inventing a new aerodynamic position, like a ski racer with the hands under the chest, which he also used to win the 4000 m world pursuit title and the world record.
