Even though I will always remain a fan, I long ago gave up thinking pro sports was clean. No matter what sport it is. The fact that cycling is actually going through the process of attempting to clean up it's act publicly keeps it in higher regard in my mind than the others. The fact that many in years past were not caught because testing was not available or the substances were not illegal does not make them somehow less guilty in my mind. Cheating is cheating.

What I find disturbing is the trickle down alluded to in an earlier post. My daughter did her AT (Athletic Trainer) undergrad work at a Division lll college. She told me the use of steroids and other drugs was rampant. Division lll? Jeez. That's just sad.
