There is something posted on the Paceline forum that says its AMD. Don't know how true it is.

Could be ... AMD is their "minor" sponsor already (and has been for a long time).
I do like Lizard's idea though ... if we're successfull, i want to be in charge of equipment .. i say we put them on indoor cycles, and see how long it takes them to complete the necessary miles ~ if only in their minds ;)

Then we would have the answer to the question "How far do you go in a Spinning class?"

As of January 1, 2007, USADA classifies Dramamine as a permitted substance.

that's pretty hilarious ... can you imagine being a pro cyclist and having motion sickness?

I'm guessing it will be Amgen.
Their sponsorship of the Amgen Tour of California is a bit ironic, but seriously I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't for their recent financial downturn since the first of the year that's caused a lot of belt tightening within the company.
They have an in-house corporate gym that's second to none and a cycling club that's one of the largest and most active recreational and competitive clubs in SoCal.
