Default Re: Doping and the Tour de France

Cycling in Canada is probably similar to Hockey (Ice) or American Football in Europe. Impossible to see, unless you shell out the $$$$.

I am not too fond of the madness either. But it is part of the whole history of these major cycling events. It is just hoping that nothing goes wrong. The same we do, despite drivers having driving licenses, in everyday traffic. So many people not paying enough attention, or being distracted. Something minor has to go wrong and you have an accident.

The controversy has existed for many years. Armstrong could use a lot of doping apparently, ust because it was on doctor's orders. Hopefully Landis can be sorted out soon, and we have no further doping cases.

I hope they can do some research into the physiological reactions to 3 weeks of cycling 200 km a day. That way it might be possible to catch cheaters even more effectively.

24 km to go in this stage.
