"It is thought that the list, which has taken more than five weeks to
be released because of the complicated and coded many entries in Dr
Fuentes books, include other sports' stars. Those athletes involved
are said to have used the names of their *pet dogs* to avoid being
identified. American Tyler Hamilton, already serving a two-year
suspension for blood doping, is also among those named."

So somewhere Tugboat's name could be on the list.

Oh my.

I remember seeing something about that briefly, but I thought it
referred to people just joking about Tugboat giving the infusion. I
didn't realize from where it sprang.

Seriously. I just thought people were joking around. I didn't realize
there was a serious news nugget in there about riders using pet names,
things of that nature to name their doping results, tests, etc. with
their doctor.

Seriously, I just wish someone would explain the word "irony" to me.
All I know is that someone said its name was "Tugboat".
