Here's an interesting take from VeloNews today. Basically, the more we delve into this, the less we know or can conclude.

I really think they do. But I see two trends emerging here:

• They're not particularly competent @ the UCI and the Tour organization in this regard

or
• The anti-American cyclist hostility among traditional Euro cycling fans/organizations has infected the UCI

As usual, the truth may lie somewhere in the middle.

Either way, what a stinkin' mess.
