Did anyone read about the tragic death of this young athlete during Paris Roubaix?  Terrible.  He was so young.  I hope this doesn't get tied to any PED's.

"Belgian cyclist Jeroen Goeleven, 25, died in his sleep last night from what initial reports suggest was natural causes, happening only two weeks after Michael Goolaerts suffered a heart attack in Paris-Roubaix.

Goeleven, born on July 4, 1992, raced with the continental team Colbra in 2015, but in recent years with smaller teams. Only 10 days ago, he won the Limburg time trial title."
