HGH Found in Hushvod Family Vehicle At Border Stop

In a (not really) stunning development, a Marin County border official has confirmed that unopened packages of GenF20 Plus, a popular HGH supplement were found in the vehicle of Ken Hushvod during a routine border stop while returning from a day trip to Novato. The substance was not seized by agents as it is not currently any kind of controlled substance. When contacted for comment, Hushvod claimed in a statement via his PR Agent that the supplement must have been placed in the car by without their knowledge or perhaps by "malicious Lodewick fans trying to destroy me."

There have been many anecdotal reports by anonymous source about Hushvod questioning other about HGH and the potential benefits/side effects but nothing that was recorded on record. Some have speculated that Hushvod was taking the supplements, not to improve his on-the-bike performance but rather to help him get through his high pressure advertising agreement with HP, not to mention the lack of sleep due to his recently arrived progeny. The ramifications of this development are unclear since PHRO does not have any restrictions on substances, banned or otherwise. 

Ronde vonSanRaflaanderran 2013 Course Has Record Amount of Climbing
This years RVSR will be the longest on record and will feature an unprecedented 6000+ feet of climbing in the route. The starring berg of the route this year, the Fishberg a dirt wall which maxes out at a leg breaking 19 percent gradient, has generated tremendous controversy as many teams during reconnaissance rides had great difficulty summiting the climb without resorting to walking their bikes. When confronted by the specter of disgruntled fake-racers fomenting unrest among their peers, PHRO Head Jackmonkey Joos Litvalk, dismissed the protests out of hand:

"These doughboy, Nancy men would do well to take a lesson from their compatriot Helene Drümme, who rode Marin-Roubaix on a mountain bike (!!!) yet still finished in the top 10. Great champions do not whine like homeless dogs about the course being too hard. They should put on their big-boy pants before they take the start line on Sunday."

So apparently, that settles that.
