Mark Allen Insight: No Fear

Monday 06 Feb 2012 Triathlete Europe

This story was originally published in the January/February, 2010, issue of Inside Triathlon magazine. It was part of the magazine’s 2009 Ironman World Championship Coverage. By TJ Murphy Two decades ago Mark Allen reversed the course of his life. When he stepped on the starting line of the 1989 Hawaii Ironman, he had yet to win the coveted championship even though he had been in the mix since 1982, usually failing in spectacular ways (epic physical meltdowns, internal bleeding, bike machinery... more

Alberto Contador stripped of 2010 Tour de France Title for using a performance enhancing drug

Monday 06 Feb 2012 EverymanTri.com

As of today Alberto Contador is no longer the 2010 Tour de France champion. That prestigious title now goes to Andy Schleck of Team Saxo Bank, who finished second in 2010. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has stripped Alberto Contador of his former TdF title because they found him guilty of using the performance enhancing drug clenbuterol. Today the CAS formally rejected an appeal by Contador in which he claimed he had ingested the drug in a portion of tainted meat. According to USA... more

Contador Receives Two Year Ban

Monday 06 Feb 2012 Triathlete Europe

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) has banned Tour de France champion Alberto Contador from competing for two-years for doping. The Spaniard tested positive for clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour de France, a charge he claimed was due to eating contaminated meat. The ban has been backdated to the date that he was informed of the failed test, meaning that he can resume competition at the start of August this year. However, his 2010 victory at the Tour, plus all of his wins in 2011, are now... more

What Are The Best Test Sets For Swimming?

Monday 06 Feb 2012 Triathlete.com

Photo: Nils Nilsen I have my athletes do broken sets—rather than one long continuous swim—for testing. I find that it’s easier for swimmers to pace themselves during the test, making the results more accurate for use in workouts. In both of the test sets (one for sprint racers and the second for Olympic distance or longer) the goal is to swim the fastest sustainable speed for each repeat. Avoid sprinting on the first repeat only to fade on the last one, resulting in a big discrepancy in times.... more
