This really, their bikes should be melted down and used to make some form of holding pen for when they all come off the performance enhancers and start chewing each others arms off.
Defo and anyone not condemning the sport as a drug fuelled hotbed of lies is complicit with it.

Of the three guys cycling fans have been decrying all year as unbelievably obvious dopers (and of course all three were rabidly defended by fans from their respective 3 countries), one of the three was revealed as positive a few weeks ago.
The second guy is positive, it hit the media yesterday evening. Only Froome left, really.

Come on hey lads, how many of you could ride a bike with that much smack inside you.
You gotta give them credit, at least they aint robbing houses.

Maybe not, but I'd like to see some figures as to how much bag snatches increase by during the Tour De France, significant I'd imagine.
I honestly dont know how anybody could take this sport seriously anymore.
The last 15 winners of the Tour De Smack are convicted smackheads.
Complete farce of a sport IMO.

A. ^ Bjarne Riis has admitted to doping during the 1996 Tour de France. The organizers of the Tour de France have stated that they no longer consider him to be the winner, although Union Cycliste Internationale has so far refused to change the official status due to the amount of time passed since his win. Jan Ullrich was placed second on the podium in Paris.[25]
B. a b c d e f g h Lance Armstrong was declared winner of seven consecutive tours from 1999 to 2005. However, in October 2012 he was stripped of all titles by the UCI due to the use of performance enhancing drugs. The tour director Christian Prudhomme had previously declared that if this happened, there would be no alternate winners for those years, but this has not yet been made official.[26]
C. a b Floyd Landis was the winner at the podium ceremony in Paris on the last day of the 2006 tour, but subsequently was found to have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs during stage 17 of the race. The United States Anti-Doping Agency found him guilty of using synthetic testosterone during the race and stripped him of his title on 20 September 2007.[27]
D. a b c Alberto Contador was the winner at the podium ceremony in Paris on the last day of the 2010 tour, but subsequently was found to have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs on a rest day. The Court of Arbitration for Sport found him guilty of using clenbuterol during the race and stripped him of his title on 6 February 2012.[28]

Cobo in the Vuelta by a couple of seconds is hardly obliterating Contador by 1.40 in the Tour (and IIRC Froome was eyeballs out hanging onto Cobo's coat tails at the end of that 2011 Vuelta).
As Dick Pound said of Landis' recovery in the 2006 Tour: 'He went up that mountain like he was on a Goddam Harley Davidson'.
I bet the other feller Wiggins quits soon before they come looking for him.
Wiggins massive sidies are a sure sign of performance enhancing drug use.
