My only beef with Cyclingnews is they always end their stories with the subject's (rider's) doping history or involvement.

THANK YOU! Finally someone not blinded by the yellow rubber band love! Velonews is biased, no doubt. The icing on the cake was when beat writers like Bonnie Ford at ESPN were scooping Velonews, as well as other beat writers on local newspaper staffs. How? There are hordes of articles published by the AP, picked up by literally every major news organizations, even ones that have nothing to do with sports. The federal investigation IS big news, yet Velonews has let their advertising dollars from Armstrong's groups guide them in what they publish.

It was way over the top, when only in the recent couple months the very day the ESPN, SI, Fox, Cyclingnews, etc. broke news of other information and corroboration against Armstrong, Velonews publishes an article about him doing a speech at a high school graduation. Velonews is unethical. No journalistic integrity at all. Just flat-out blatant BS.
