    Great article…. a very interesting point of view. My 2 cents is that pro sports in general will always have doping problems because of the money involved. So the solution is to abandon pro sports. Not that we would not have sports but people would pursue them on an amateur basis. My stand is I contribute as little as possible to pro sports. Sure if a race is streamed free over the net I might watch but I wont pay for it. I try to buy products will no regard to sponsorship and would pass up some products because of their sponsorships. Sure I have team jerseys but only because they were so cheap I could not pass them up.

      thanks Bryin for the comment, much appreciated. I think that one point that people miss when it comes to doping is this – for many guys, it isn’t the money, it is the kudos. look at how bad doping is in the amateur ranks in Masters racing, or on the Gran Fondo scene in Europe. these guys don’t get cash, not substantial. they do get FB likes though, and articles written about them, and nice shiny kit from sponsors, and, most importantly, respect and admiration from local riders, and even internationally. the USA and the USSR pursued doping programs when it wasn’t about $, but ideologies. so, it ain’t always the dough that drives this.

    Come one Lee… get off you damn horse already. Just because your a washed up hack that couldn’t make it in the big leagues stop trying to blame everyone but yourself. It was one thing to blame the “dopers” but now you’re going after the fans? Come on dude, really?

    The true reality is that most people (and by most I meant the majority) look at the doping as it was something the entire peloton did. No matter what you say or do, doesn’t change the fact that the “fraud-o’s” as you call them are consistently the highest attended events in the country and they’re numbers keep increasing. Shit even Hincapie’s event received a record increase in attendees after the media went wild with the story about Lance being there.

    So go ahead keep writing about this stuff… all you do is make them more popular!!

      NAC i know records are hard to come by these days but maybe you could change the MP3? it’s getting a little samey.

      a bit of wit might rescue the drone.

      lots of people still buy Michael Jackson records and still think he was a nice chap.

      don’t make it right though does it?
