Cycling in the South Bay

Former US Postal Service team manager Johan Bruyneel has acknowledged that he is unlikely to work in cycling again, saying that he is “pretty much done with cycling.”

After being fired, sued, banned for life, subject to a disciplinary hearing, subpoenaed, expelled from the Belgian Cycling Federation, arraigned for high crimes and misdemeanors, and made fun of in a local Belgian comic strip, the most successful team manager in the history of cycling to be stripped of every single Tour de France victory called a press conference in London to confirm that he will no longer pursue a career in cycling.

JB: Oh, that’s easy to say now. But what about all the good I did? What about that?

The Telegraph: For example?

JB: Cancer. I cured cancer.

The Times: Wasn’t that Lance?

JB: Oh, yeah. Well, I
