Hi All,

Some of you may be expecting Lord Voldemort to die at the end of 
Book Seven (i.e. in 1997 / 1998), but I have it on good authority 
that by 2003 he is a professional cyclist on the US Postal Service 
team. Yes, that's right; Tom Riddle helped Lance Armstrong to his 
fifth consecutive Tour de France victory. Perhaps this explains why 
Lance doesn't test positive for banned substances, they should 
instead test for illegal jinxes.

Here's the authoritative quote (glossary: Dura-Ace is Shimano's top 
of the line group-set, i.e. brakes, gears, crank etc).

"The boys in Blue on the U.S. Postal Services team have been 
rolling '04 Dura-Ace for a good bit of the season already, which 
means it gets the all-important approval of you-know-who." 
(`Bicycling', USA September edition, p. 58).

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
