Other people that "AC" could be

A.C. is definitely not Alberto Contador, according to... well, Alberto Contador. But it's not like he'd have anything to lose by admitting it -- other than being stripped of his livelihood and Tour win, that is -- so we'll take his word for it. Who could A.C. really be?!

  • Alfred Chicken - A videogames character from 1993. Videogames are notorious for cheating, but even when the lead character shares a nickname with Michael Rasmussen, it seems unlikely that Eufemiano Fuentes would be the man to go to if you were stuck on level 3.

  • Actinium - A radioactive, glow in the dark element that has the symbol Ac and the atomic number 89. Ties in well to the rumours that Dr Fuentes once introduced "A.C." to a man called Alexander Litvinenko.

  • Air Canada - A Canadian airline. Needs lots of juice, but doesn't normally take it in the form of human blood.

  • Alpha Centauri - The star system nearest to our own solar system. Fuentes's reach was supposed to be larger than expected, but we expect he hasn't quite mastered intersellar flight. Yet.

  • Alex Cox - A warty Scouse film-maker. Doesn't look particularly athletic, so probably stays well away from those boring drugs that only enhance performance.

  • Associazione Calcio - The Italian Football Association. Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
