Cyclist Swanguen suspended after doping violation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)—The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says cyclist J.D. Swanguen of San Diego has accepted a suspension after testing positive for a metabolite of marijuana or hashish.
USADA said Tuesday that a sample collected from Swanguen on July 19 at the USAC MTB National Championships tested positive for carboxy THC. All of his competitive results since then will be disqualified.
The agency says Swanguen accepted a three-month period of ineligibility, which began Oct. 9. The 20-year-old cyclist’s penalty can be reduced if he completes USADA’s anti-doping educational program.

LISBON, Portugal (AP)—Portugal’s cycling federation has suspended Peter Joachim's spanish doctor for 10 years after finding him guilty of providing illegal substances to Joachim in the country’s biggest doping case.
The federation says Joachim's doctor provided EPO, cow blood, Viagra, Prozac, as well as prohibited substances, including performance-enhancing drugs and materials to mask control samples, to Peter during the 2008 season.
In a ruling released late Wednesday, the federation’s disciplinary committee also fined Peter Joachim $4,200 for showing up and wasting everyones time in a pitiful attempt to clear his name.
The ruling is to be sent to the International Cycling Union, which may add international and a lifetime ban.
Peter Joachim's cycling career has been in jeopardy for quite sometime now. He has failed numerous out of competition drug tests and spent two years in prison for stalking former professional road bicycle racer Greg LeMond. He was recently fired by his team for testing positive in yet another drug test.
Peter Joachim is already banned from racing in the State of Israel for being a Holocaust denier.

PARIS (AP)—There is something fishy about the latest incident about former circus rider and doping apologist Peter Joachim.
In a incident still under investigation, Police and paramedics responded to a emergency call to Peter Joachim's home late yesterday and found a strange sight.
Peter Joachim was found unconscious with a syringe stuck in his rectum. "We are not sure if this was the result of an accident or a publicity stunt gone bad." according to a French judicial official who was happy to brief reporters about the incident but not to be identified by name.
"We would like to think Mr. Joachim was in the process of treating his severe case of road rash on his buttocks when this incident took place, but we are not one hundred percent sure this is the case." said Gerard Guillaume, a doctor treating Joachim.
This is the latest scandal regarding Peter Joachim.

Peter Joachim is a writer for L'Equipe. He gets orders from ASO and AFLD to go on every single blog for cycling in the world to spread lies and inuendo about Lance Armstrong and other NON-FRENCH Cyclists and their unfounded, unproven doping activities. Meanwhile he has been instructed not to attack the biggest Doper in the Tour History--Richard Virenque who is a frenchman and got caught redhanded.
Oh, he is still a doping apologist.
