I see all these posts where people write in to say they're so fed up with the doping that they don't want to watch the Tour anymore, or they have no more interest in pro bike racing, or they should just end the Tour, etc. etc.
I don't know, I find this hard to understand. I am a cyclist, I have always been a cyclist; it's what I do with my life. These negative people must not be cyclists. To be a cyclist requires a certain amount of passion. I am not a golfer because I am not passionate about golf. I could live very easily without coverage of the Masters, but I could not tolerate absence of the Tour. I will always be a cycling fan, come hell or high water, and the Tour should go on, come hell or high water. Guys are doping? That's unfortunate. Deal with it and get over it.
