In cycling, Francisco Mancebo broke his collarbone and Pantani lost 24
minutes in the Vuelta a Castilla Leon, Anna Milward led the UCI
Women's rankings, and Brad McGee gave an interview approving of the
then-new EPO test, saying, ""Sure I have noticed a big change in the
peloton this year. I notice more riders are suffering and I am now
constantly riding at the front of the bunch. I am loving it."

In other news, a CIA briefer flew out to Texas to give the President
an unusually long and detailed Presidential Daily Briefing entitled,
"Bin Laden determined to strike in US." The President reportedly
heard the briefer out and then said, "All right. You've covered your
ass, now."
