    I'd really hate to see these guys in (x amount of years) when they can't work out 6 hours a day. Talk about major droop-age.

    I'm guessing Griepel will be fine - as long as he keeps riding (which professional road-racers do tend to do... just a bit slower than full-gas racing) but Forstermann's are definitely the product of some serious metal-pumping in the weights-room - it's certainly going to need him to "train them down again" when he retires from competitive track sprinting (and while he's young enough for the skin to rebound!)
