What the hell...

is happening to the cycling world. Vino, Rasmussen, all the other guys suffering because of false accusations and the like. It just makes me sick. I don't know whether or not to believe it. Two more of my favorite riders are now gone. Both of which are not even guilty yet.
Yes, I am strongly against doping and agree that when someone tests positive they suffer the consequences. That is how it should be, but I just find it retarded that after such a thing as Rasmussen winning a stage, and being in a great position to win the Tour, his team says. Well you missed a control in June, lets fire you now. It just does not make sense to me. Why not do it then? Why screw things up so much now. There is so much more of an effect at this point then there would have been then, I wonder if there are people how are trying to destroy the world of cycling. It always seems to be that big doping scandals come up during the biggest races. Riis and Zabel around the Giro (I think) now for the 2nd year in a row huge problems during the Tour. Some of which could be done at times other than during the race.

Then of course there is the testing itself. That makes me wonder too. This quote was taken from cycling news "Once again, the news was leaked to the French newspaper L'Equipe, which published the news five hours before the rider was informed." What the hell is this about. It is absurd. This seems to happen all the time with this paper and the particular lab, and it has been happening for awhile now. That really needs to stop, what if the test had been tampered with, or was done wrong. The rider is done, finished, without any chance of rebuttal. Then of course the news being shouted from the roof as soon as the A sample is back, why not wait until the B sample is back too so things can be certain before someones life is destroyed. Even if Vino and Rasmussen doped, pictures like the following are still amazing, there is such a look of relief in the face, personally I think if they doped to win, they would not look like that, they would expect it more. But who knows these days...


And why do news sources only crack down on cycling doping. I can guarantee there is way way more doping in the NFL, NHL, NBA, soccer, and many other sports than there is in cycling. But no one ever hears about those do they. Perhaps because people just don't care, all they want to see is action. Who cares is the players are all doped up. If they are not, I would love to hear how they train a 350 pound guy can move as fast as those in the NFL do.
