With the scandal happening in France right now regarding the fallout from "Operacion Puerto," I feel that I need to make an official statement that I have and never will use performance enhancing drugs. I know there are a lot of you out there who are saying, “Hey Miner, how can you explain that miraculous 5th place finish at the Saturday morning stage of the Summer Solstice race?” True, this is my best result racing as a Cat IV but I owe that finish to great teammates and great training. In addition, I would like to say that although there are reported rumors of bags of blood with the code name “Son of Alan Miner, born in Canton, Ohio in March of 1973”, I’m sure there are lots of mediocre Cat IV racers who fit that same description. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I would never undergo a blood transfusion, they’re just too risky. My wife and I are fully educated of the risks on this as we faced this procedure a few years ago to save the life of our 25 year old parakeet, Tweety. I’m sad to say that Tweety is now buried in an old shoe box in the backyard but that’s neither here nor there. Again, I will never use performance enhancing drugs unless I get to that point in my life where I’ll need that little blue pill to help my performance…bad da bing!
