    Amen.

    Merckx, who is still the greatest cyclist of all time to me, was popped himself and is famous for having said “you do not win the Tour and bread and water alone.”

    Cheating is as natural to humans as breathing… and we tend to breathe a lot.

    As for the UCI… dynamite the whole f*cking thing to the ground and start anew. Hein and Pat might be beginning to see the writing on the wall now- though I doubt it- with this new “independent investigation” to be formed. We’ll see…

    … until something happens though, I’m gonna keep my torch handy, and my pitchfork sharpened.

    I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing problems with your website. It looks like some of the text on your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before. Kudos|
