That's what happens when the extreme-right / nationalistic party decides everything.
The argument is that you don't love Denmark enough if you decide to apply for citizenship in another country, and therefore, you can only have one.
Well, it's the same in Norway, and it has been for ages (most likely since we were the same country), so, and I'm not a fan of Langballe and his compatriots either, this one you cannot put down on them. Obviously, there are some scenarios that do allow dual citizenship in Norway, and I guess they are quite similar in Denmark. I'm not sure what those special scenarios are, but I would reckon parents with different passports would fit.
Cycling relevance? Nah, not in this one

Wow, you don't know Mexicans at all, do you?
May be fun that thanks to such an idiotic law we can enjoy of Rasmussen riding as a Mexican. |

Time for the what-the-fuck fact of the day.
Drenthe wants to organize a world championship cycling in 2020.
And if you think that will be a flatter than flat worlds, no, not even that!
They are planning on building a cycling circuit on the old TT circuit (no longer in use) of 16.1km and, here comes the what-the-fuck bit, they are planning on creating an articial hill which "should challenge any cyclist from all levels".
An artificial hill/mountain...these guys are nuts
Yes, that is just insane. To build a 2 km, 8% hill, you need about 22 millions of conventional 30 m3 loads (regular truck) of landfill. Well, you could possibly use huge bigger trucks, but, again, we are talking about 650 millions of m3 of landfill. Just to make an idea, the water volume of an olympic swimming pool is 2500 m3. Even if we talk about a 4% hill (which I doubt "would challenge any cyclist from all levels" , we would need about 300 millions of m3 of land (too lazy to do the calculations, so it is just an approximation, but anyways).

Paris - A report charges that Lance Armstrong's Astana cycling team was given "special treatment" by the International Cycling Union (UCI) during this year's Tour de France, the online edition of the daily Le Monde reported Monday. The daily cites a report drawn up by the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) about the way doping tests were administered during the three-week race, in which Armstrong finished third. His Astana teammate Alberto Contador won the race.
According to the 10-page report, Astana riders were given "the latest morning doping tests" and did not respect the requirement to present themselves immediately to AFLD testers on at least one occasion.
This followed the intervention of UCI inspectors, who refused the presence of AFLD escorts, the report charges. As a result, there was a 45-minute delay between the arrival of the inspectors and the time the riders made themselves available for the tests.
"Such a tolerance, accorded without veritable justification... does not allow, in the absence of escorts, to ensure the perfect regularity of the procedure, notably that no manipulation was carried out," the AFLD report states.
In addition, blood tests of Astana riders scheduled for July 25 were not carried out because the UCI inspectors underestimated the time it took the riders to reach their hotel, the report says.
The report further notes that to help carry out tests in the run- up to the Tour de France, the UCI provided information to the AFLD about the whereabouts of all the teams, except for Astana.
"A withholding of information that is not in the spirit of the fight against doping," the report declares.
There were no doping positives during this year's Tour, which led many experts to conclude that riders were using new doping substances for which tests have not been established.
AFLD head Pierre Bordry told Le Monde after the race ended that he was convinced that "two new products were used during the Tour, two substances not yet on the market."
The two drug are believed to be hematide, a third-generation blood-doping substance similar to EPO, and Aicar, which aids in the transformation of fats into energy.

French police shuffled through the garbage at teams' hotels at the Tour.
Due to the sensitive nature of the investigation, they cannot divulge the names of the several teams in whose garbage blood transfusion equipment was found.

I'm not sure if anyone has said something about it yet, but American racers Chad Gerlach (36), who was well known for having alcohol and crack-cocaine abuse problems and being on several episodes of the TV show "Intervention" and then coming back to racing with Amore & Vita this year, has relapsed. Apparently he stopped showing up to races around July and no one knew what happened to him and as of late he has been seen on the street near Sacramento panhandling but says he'll be back to racing next season.
Terrible news, as a human and a racer.

I saw that episode! If I remember correctly, he was on Disco and after a workout one day jokingly called Lance "Fatty." Next day he was off the team and became a druggie. That's the way he tells it anyways. |

RGUpdate Super training afgewerkt van 4u met 4blokken Tempoduur (10slagen onder omslagpunt) op de Ghisallo, voor de liefhebber:431,428,429 en 428watt
training of 4 hours on the ghisallo (lombardia climb), 10 beats below threshold HR , result, 431, 428, 429 and 428W.. 
Well, Gesink has topped that:
4x6min: 474w,Hf171; 468w,Hf174; 457w,Hf173; 443w,Hf173; Nu 2 dagen rusten tot Emilia.
Even the lowest score (the 4th and final one ofcourse) is higher than the ones of a week ago.. |

That seems more like his threshold though...
EDIT: Even so, impressive to say the least.

I have just heard De Bonis from Dicks and Vaginas Team has gone pos for sleeping with Sarah, what a whore, 2 this week, + that other hobbit!
- Wiggins
Option A.
Wiggins is abusing hard liquor
Option B.
Wiggins has just confirmed the angry moron stereotype of british people
I'm going with B
A two year old would find that joke far too childish to make Brad. A f***ing two year old.
