at least he wasn't on my fantasy team.

and when you thought it couldn't get any worse.
i was having so much fun watching the tdf. i loved watching phil liggett on versus every day, i had a fantasy cycling team too. i rooted for christian vandevelde and garmin chipotle, wondered if big georgie would finally win one for himself.
i knew that there were problems before the tour, team astana not being allowed to compete, and then the spanish guy early on. but ricco? srsly? everyone in the cycling community must be pissed as hell. broadcasters were lauding the so called "cobra" for winning his two stages so impressively.
if he's guilty or not, man. this sucks. makes you wonder if they had a doping tour de france and a non-doping tour... sort of like having 5k and 10k races. that is a potential way to resolve this arms race.

companies and teams work to find drugs that help you that aren't on the list yet.
racing officials work to keep teams and racers clean.
why not a) allow doping and b) make it another classification. sort of how you have the white "best rider under 25" jersey, have a brown "poop" jersey for the rider whose carreer is most like poop.
