    It’s such a catch-22. That fondo is getting so many people riding, but of course Levi didn’t just voluntarily admit doping(not that anyone really ever has). Should he probably be disassociated, I think so…how many actually do that ride because of him? How many riders that are new to cycling even know his name? Half the time I think it’s sponsored by the jeans company(and I am a cyclist)…then I remember it’s named for Levi O. and I think the same thing every time(“wasn’t he bounced for doping??”). I wonder what he gets out of it financially? Maybe he should be made to do it for free, and donate all his earnings to programs to discourage doping in cycling? Maybe he should just go away.

    Nice that you’re keeping the anti-doping torch ever-lit, is there a way to make these rants constructive? I get the points you make, but can it ever be more than complaints, are we helpless to the point where logging complaints is all that can be done?

      you can read through my stuff if you want and see my suggestions to make stuff better. and ‘rants’ – as soon as that label comes out, it dismisses, in essence, what is being said. and you ask if we are helpless to the point where logging complaints is all that can be done… isn’t that exactly what happened? isn’t that the state the wider world finds itself in too? if we don’t at least point out what is wrong with the status quo rather than just keeping quiet and joining in – see Levi’s Gran Fondo for 7,500 examples of that – then we may as well not even bother getting out of bed.

    In the world of motorcycle roadracing there is a journalist named John Ulrich who started an independent charitable fund to provide “air fencing” to improve safety at racetracks, the fund has been successful and still exists. A big problem that is slowly being chipped away at by people doing something. Is anyone doing anything like this to help cycling? on any level, Am, Masters, etc.? for any topics, doping related or not? just free bikes to Africa? Could there ever be an outside fund to help provide expanded testing? Is there one I don’t know of? Is there a place I can contribute to?

    Keep it coming, Lee! I love the fact that you have the bravery and courage to not stand down! It takes nerves to hang yourself out there for public assassination. I’d like to point out those that hide behind vague names. Had they your bravery, their names would be listed. Then I might bother with a discussion with them, but they don’t have the courage you do, Lee!
