I hear there's even talk about taking cycling out of the Olympics and replacing it with rugby, due to the high levels of doping in the sport.
There's currently 141 riders out of 189 and only 2 of the teams are intact.

It's definitely a sad state of affairs this year which was pretty much the reason for my rant. There's a lot of doping in many sports so dropping this from the Olympics shouldn't even be a consideration, just create more stringent testing methods and rider control.
I'm also guessing that this means Team Discovery will definitely win the Team Race.
