Has anyone paid any attention at all to the circus show that is this years Tour de France ? the leader going into yesterday was sent home by his own team and there was only a handful of stages left!! not to mention numerous guys have been caught doping and instead of banning them their entire team decides to pull out. And a lot of French citizens are calling for the entire race to be canceled because of all the chaos.
 
Contador becomes youngest Tour de France champ since 1997

PARIS -- Alberto Contador won the doping-scarred Tour de France on Sunday, a new, young and unlikely winner for the three-week race shaken to its core by scandals.
The 24-year-old rider for the American Discovery Channel team was the youngest champion since Jan Ullrich of Germany in 1997. He also was the first Spaniard to win the crown since the last of Miguel Indurain's five titles in 1995.

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador of Spain, embraces his trophy as third-place finisher Levi Leipheimer of the U.S. looks on.

His margin of victory -- just 23 seconds ahead of Cadel Evans of Australia -- was the second-narrowest in the Tour's 104-year history, after 2,200 miles of racing through Britain, Belgium, Spain and France.

Eh! I'm of the opinion, now, that they all are doping and it's the greedy that
are stupid enough to get caught.

And further, after talking to some so-called amateur athletes, it would seem
that doping or performance enhancing drugs are prevalent throughout all sports.
Maybe not golf, though. :biggrin:

So, where can I get some good shit to get me up that big mountain pass that I blew up on, yesterday? :tongue2:
