several inquiries on the status of an earlier posting, and the individual responsible, have been logged.  the secret ministry of openness and education in the furtherance of just causes is in the process of  "interviewing" a racing union representative and is slowly helping him to understand the virtues of message discipline.  to call this person a dissident would be to engage in wild hyperbole. 

unfortunately, there have been various media reports indicating there was a detention; characterizing the results as censorship, or worse yet, hinting at abusive interrogation.  the ministry disavows this, in the strongest possible terms, as vicious propoganda and lies most likely initiated by bourgeois cycling clubs with far less committment to changes in cycling and the social order.  the writer in question is being "hosted" in the basement of the ministry's complex and is making tremendous strides in harmonizing his expression with that of the cycling vanguard. 

an exceedingly brief appearance before a "magistrate" earlier this afternoon offered an opportunity for this photo, clearly showing the robust condition of the person in question.  this image has been digitally modified to protect his identity.

the ministry further seeks to warn those who would pursue this story that truth and openness is a principal goal and it can only be served by vigilantly policing the public and private statements of all cyclists.
