...Riccò, who in the past has denied any doping irregularities, is the third competitor to be forced out of the race this year under a cloud of performance-enhancing suspicion.

...Singh will find out whether his gamble has paid off - or if it has cost him his four-year-old administration. That's the date when Singh's centrist Congress Party faces a vote of confidence on the floor of Parliament, a vote brought about by the recent exit from Singh's coalition government of the country's two main leftist parties, which bolted in protest over the nuclear deal.

...alive because I have always had a plan of action when things go wrong. When I now fly commercial, I am disappointed that no one other than myself pays attention to the flight attendant. I also read the emergency instructions on the card. I look for the nearest emergency exit and tell my wife, "In case of an emergency, I'm going that way. Grab my belt and follow me."
