• Damn It Vino!

  Anyone who follows Le Tour is probably smoking mad  at the doping scandal that has hit cycling ... yet again!

  For Christ's sake, these guys are riding the race we all wish we could ride and someone decides to pull this shit.

  And the doping is not some foreign super molecule, it is injecting yourself with someone else's blood!  My God.

  Look, until we have the "death penalty" in cycling, where if you get caught cheating you cannot compete again,

  and until the team money is not tied to winning (um, that's difficult) then the sport will always reward performance

  over integrity.

  Good job to the Tour for kicking out the whole team and the Astana Team for suspending Vino.

  Also, props to German TV and the T-Mobile squad to question their sponsorship of these teams and pull

  the whole plug when the hard questions hit the fan. 

  Please, put this all behind you and ride your bike with careless joy and abandon!!!
