smithFor Immediate Release: Rip Curl’s Koa and Alex Smith to be Featured on MTV Teen Cribs this Saturday! 

Costa Mesa, CA (April 10, 2009):  The crew at MTV recently headed to the Aloha state to catch up with Rip Curl’s young stand out surfers Alex and Koa Smith, for a new edition of MTV Teen Cribs, set to air Saturday, April 11 between 2 & 4pm EST.

“It was a one-shot deal. We walked them through the house and the cameras followed us. We showed them the fridge, through the rooms and they seemed to take a liking to all of our animals,” Alex stated after the cameras were turned off.  “It was a pretty fun gig. I hope everyone likes it.” 

Between their variety of pets, farm animals, and day-to-day adventures of the Smith posse, the episode is a definite must-see.

Although some have made light of it, Lance Armstrong’s latest run-in with French anti-doping authorities is no joke.

At worse, the French say, they have the power to suspend the seven-time Tour de France champion from competing in the country for supposedly having kept a drug tester waiting. That would certainly take the shine off Armstrong’s comeback that has pulled in publicity and crowds for his battered sport.

Even if it doesn’t come to sanctions, the French anti-doping agency’s suggestion that Armstrong didn’t cooperate fully with their tester could again mean that he’ll compete at this year’s Tour under a cloud. Unless, of course, the claims cause him to …  Details
