Carbon Nanotubes: Light, Carcinogenic, Doping Missing Link?

Whoa, don’t know how the cycling press missed out on this one from NPR, but a new study shows that if you cut materials made from carbon nanotubes, like, say, a BMC Pro Machine SLC bike frame (hey, maybe that’s how Floyd’s sample got contaminated, nanotubes. . .yeah, that’s the ticket. . .and Vino rode one, too, at Astana. . .is this the missing link uniting all of these falsely accused dopers?), you’re exposing yourself to as much lung damage, if not more, than if you were working with asbestos. That’s a jawdropper, guess the cycling media have been too busy polishing their Colnago C-50’s to notice. Oh, and if you think wearing a mask while you cut carbon nanotube material will help, think again. This stuff is a billionth of an inch long and can work its way through anything. Lawsuits coming soon, no doubt.
