I hope Floyd's clean; I just don't know what to think yet. But let's face it: one way or the other this incident is not going to irreparably damage the TDF. Cheating and European mega-sports go hand in hand. Always have, always will. It's part of the sports religion over there. I don't care whether it's TDF, the ISDE, European motocross (you know, before we Yanks reinvented it) or the Olympics, cheating is part of the sports culture over there. The biggest dishonor is not in the doing; it's in the getting caught.
The Tour will live on . . . the average American's interest may wax and wane, but it's just another day at the races over there.
