At least no cyclists were indicted for breading fighting dogs, then electrocuting/drowning them when they loose. I’d still rather watch the Tour than those good ole American sports that are full of non-positive rednecks (that are never tested, yet reach 350 pounds in high school) and homies from the ghet-to that are one step from prison…or stardom in the NBA/NFL.

I’m still getting up early tomorrow to watch the attacks on the Col D’Aubisque.

Mainstream American sports are no better. They just don’t care and nobody talks about it. Go Barry!! Fucking cheater.

Bikepunk…We should definetly take a page from Mtn. Biking…Rasmussen, The Belgian Bicept, Roland Green, Cadel, Paula Pezzo…Perhaps booze and hellraising was just a “gateway” to blood doping!!!! Thank christ cycling is a PARTICIPATION sport….

hey Barry Bonds is still trying to hit three homers as far as i know so he can break Hank Aarons record. fuck he is still swinging the bat! at least cycling is sending people home.
what you are seeing is pro sports but this is one which is compelled to clean its act up. the really depressing thing is we are seeing signs that this is an addiction almost like crakc or something.
yeah crack. when you have everything to lose and you know they are on to you, you just can’t deny yourself that feeling of being powerful. but it looks like some of the baboons are taking heed…valverde? Hincapie? where are the rest of the leg breakers from years past?
rasmussen will get his. i mean that trail is sticky and long. there will be a couple of other trek family riders implicated and we will get to spend the year listening to the little faggot proclaim his innocence. at least chiotti had some sort of conscious.
i think the fans on the side of the road should start taking the law into their own hands….

Shit…all you guys have made my otherwise pissy day better! Some of the comments are just wicked!! I like John’s the best: “Hey, at least he wasn’t doing that freaky cow shit……..”

On that note…anyone else notice that Cyclingnews.com isn’t saying shit about Rasmooosen’s attempt at freaky cow shit smuggling? What the hell is up with that? Part of their new sell-out program? Don’t report on things other media sources bring to light? And…Velonews-the last place I usually go-has gotten way better. Cyclingnews has definitely dropped a couple of notches since selling out.

A friend at work said we should do like mens magazines and have two different classes of racing: Dopers (Playboy, silicon, surgery, etc.) and Naturals (Perfect 10, no implants, etc.). Of course that would require a hell of a lot more testing, and imagine the penalties if you’re caught not doping!

Hey M in SC,

So was Jerome Chiotti…They used to clown Rasmussen at MTB races asking him if he would prefer a smoother course and skinnier tires. He was notorious for being a little bitch about the race courses.. not much has changed, he is still a dick smuggler.

This will eventually correct itself – The loss of sponsors, salaries, public popularity and support will regenerate cycling back into a gentlemens’ sport. No more lab monkeys, only those that love to race cleanly (cannot afford drugs anymore). We will be treated to future tours with self-supported riders fixing their own bikes, stopping at springs to fill water bottles and cigarette breaks at the tops of climbs. Of course, like days of old, we’ll have to subscribe to L’equipe or go watch it ourselves, because VS or any TV coverage will be lost, unless it becomes a reality show to include scantilly clad euro bike babes like the one’s that have just lost their jobs presenting the jerseys.

Let’s not forget Floyd + Ferrari = ???

If you have half an eye watching the sport in the last few years you had to see this coming. Disco’ll get theirs, it’s only a matter of time. At the very least we’re seeing riders settling back into their roles, climbers are climbers and TT guys can’t accelerate to save their lives. But Rasmoosen’s TT was a little much. Even if it was hilly. Shit’s still going on, but it’s not like in the heyday that was 19XX-2006. All you Dick Pound haters can shove it too — he’s the only one telling it like it is. Dopers shouldn’t have rights; he’s never publicly accused someone who was clean to my knowledge, as he says, we’re dealing with “hypocrisy beyond belief”. Doesn’t even begin to describe it.
