It's time the American public is informed by the media, like the French public has known for years, that illegal performance enhancement is PERVASIVE in bicycling racing (and all other sports at the highest levels), that the tests only catch a tiny portion of the guilty, and so those who are actualy found guilty are simply unlucky as compared to the others, or maybe were a little bit sloppier.

It's a system that works like a lottery that effectively selects careers to ruin at random.
I have to agree with this. At first I thought it was more selective, but with so many Phonak and Liberty Seguros riders getting busted, and the fact that these are 2 crappy teams in the UCI make me wonder what the top level teams are taking.
