It's that time again...

For the past 6 years mid June has been the harbinger of Tour de France season. It's always kicked off by the Lance doping story du jour. And as Vica mentioned in one of the comments below, despite the fact that Lance is focused on his dating as many women who look like his Mom as possible, he's still managed to be the focus story. Again.

This one kind of kills me because I really liked Frankie Andreu a lot in his racing days. He's probably the first bike racer I actually sort of followed. I hate to see him and his wife caught up in all of the mess.

Does anyone really care that Lance doped over 10 years ago. No, really. Does anyone think he was the only one? What if Lance hasn't doped since cancer? Under innocent until proven guilty, that would be a fair assumption. So how would his win in the tours 4 or more years after the years of using EPO (which I understand to have a limited efficacy) be any different than anything Richard Virenque did after he was suspended for 2 years?

In other words....please, Lance doping is SOOOOO last year.

they're all on dope...all of them...well maybe not Sylvian Chavanel and a couple of the other suckier ones. But as a rule of thumb...top 3 = dope.

Thanks
