The teams should boycott the TdF. I don't understand how and why they let themselves get thrown around like they do with organizations that do not make fair rules or follow their own rules. All they talk about is doping now in their team presentations. It's sickening. I'm glad I'm not a new fan trying to get into cycling now or I'd wonder WTF is wrong with everyone because all they talk about is doping.
