    I actually agree with this: …”those who say that cycling is being unfairly vilified as a sport and that others are just as bad but not as deeply investigated.”

    However, that doesn’t mean rules and regulations should be lifted from cycling or used as an excuse of any kind. That means change is needed in other sports as well. It’s a widespread issue, across many sports. I think that other sports are just as bad mainly because they aren’t being tested and can easily get away with it.

    So I don’t disagree with him/this post at all. Saying that shouldn’t be used in the way that it is–“bold action” is still needed!

    thanks for the comment! as you may know, the Operacion Puerto case turned up evidence that tied of a lot of cyclists to the doping ring, but also names of footballers and tennis player, amongst others – yet they faced no sanction, nor were their names made public. it all went under the carpet.

    but cycling should not bemoan that fact but embrace the responsibility and the chance to become the cleanest sport in the world. one day the drug taking in football, rugby, tennis and on and on will come out, and then we can sit back and nod sagely. cheats are everywhere, but then so are mosquitoes – as long as my house is bug-free, I’ll be doing ok 😉
