The mods will probably either lock this thread or move it, but yeah. It seriously sucks. I remember the 1998 tour with Festina getting the boot. This will be 10 times worse.

i agree, it sucks. we all know they're all doped but you don't pull the contenders the day before the tour. leblanc says now we'll have a clean tour, what a bunch of ****.... and what about bjarne riis and his team loyalty ethic, what happened to standing up for your players? i love france but damned napoleanic law -you're guilty till proven innocent.

Probably all of the the front half of the field dopes... But it doesn't matter much as they prolly do the same drugs. Better ability, more and better training, timing your form, pushing yourself to the limit on the right day, having a good team, not making tactical mistakes... that sort of stuff is what decides races. I guess it sucks for the guys who are not willing to take drugs.

I say take it out in the open. If your rider is looking fatigued...I want to see the DS roll up in the car and at 50 yards shoot him in the ass with a dart gun loaded with amphetamines. That'll get the boys up the hill.
