WRS stories about cycling
Adventure Switzerland: Mountain biking in its truest form
Thursday, 21 August, 2008
All this week WRS brings you a glimpse at some of the adrenaline-pumping activities you can do around the country in a series called Adventure Switzerland. Since there are a lot of mountains in Switzerland, why not take a bike to the top of one and ride down it? World Radio Switzerland’s Alex Helmick did just that. We’ll see if he made it back down on two wheels or if he needs to use that Swiss health insurance of his.

The International Cycling Union is the sport’s governing body and it has come up with a new and radical plan using “biological passports” to combat doping. WRS’s Pete Forster spoke to the head of the ICU, Pat McQuaid.
