Faris certainly has been fast, though. For the past three years he has been third, first and third in Kona and he's the third German and first Muslim to win the Ford Ironman World Championship.

43. David Walsh - Part 2 http://www.competitorradio.com... download (audio/mpeg, 33.42Mb) Description: David Walsh's latest book 'From Lance to Landis' has sure caused just a little bit of controversy. Lance immediately slammed the book's content as old news and Walsh himself as a guy with his own agenda who was simply out to make money off of Lance's name. Lance also insisted that anyone who was interviewed for the book had a personal axe to grind with him and should not be believed. Bob and Paul spent over two hours interviewing David Walsh about his love of cycling, his history covering the sport and writing about his heroes and what we will learn from this new book about the culture of doping that is so prevalent in the sport.

46. Betsy Andreu http://www.competitorradio.com... download (audio/mpeg, 30.40Mb) Description: Betsy Andreu has been a lightening rod of controversy for the past few years. A primary source for David Walsh and his book entitled ‘From Lance to Landis’, the wife of former Lance Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu has a lot of opinions on drugs and the sport of cycling. She watched on television as her husband lead the peloton up a beyond category climb during the 1999 Tour de France but instead of being excited, she was upset because she knew immediately that Frankie had gone to the dark side and was now using drugs. Enjoy!

He lived, but his right arm was paralyzed. While he was going through rehabilitation, his 39 year old father suffered a heart attack and died and Jason ended up living with his grandmother. His salvation was sport. A 140 pound center on the football team, a .300 hitting outfielder and, eventually, a runner, duathlete and Ironman.
