Safeway Star: Secret Revealed
by Stanley Morgan (Reprinted with permission from the Dallas Star)
The latest powerhouse in Northern California's over 35 cycling scene, Safeway Team Cycling, is being questioned for possible unfair practices. It is well known that Team Safeway dominated the NCNCA throughout the 2006 season. It was originally believed that unparalleled training regimens practiced by superior cyclists and their precision teamwork were the secrets behind their successes.
Many of their opponents, however, hinted toward the possibility of unfair and possibly illegal practices. A well known pro rider from the District (who asked to remain anonymous) said, "no team has been so dominant since I led the McNugget Pro Cycling (name changed) team in 2004 and well, we all know how I won. I got caught and so will they. We know they are using something, we just don't know what."
One rider on Safeway has shown the most dramatic improvement. The Canadian, and former Olympic calibre rower Daniel Martin, underwent an incredible transformation over the winter "training" season. His personal achievements in 2006 were nothing short of miraculous.
Though many allegations have been tossed about, it wasn't until today that any proof was provided that might explain Safeway's and Daniel Martin's exceptional performance. The Star received the below photo and now we know...it must be Divine intervention.
