the Tour de France is now officially imploding. First Vinokourov tests positive for a blood transfusion, so he and Astana are out (my first instinct was, "poor Kloden", but what was he thinking hitching his wagon to that whack-job's star anyway?).
Then Moreni tests positive for Test., so he and Cofidis are out. Now, Rabobank has fired the Maillot Jaune, Rasmussen, because SURPRISE! He lied about where he was when he missed those pesky doping tests.
To those of you who say that the French are conspiring because they never win the tour: You guys are full of shit. The French love their race way to much to ruin it to this degree. If they were truly conspiring, no Cofidis rider would ever test positive for anything.
I've been saying it since the Festina affair, and now I hope it's become obvious to everyone: they all dope. You cannot be in good form for 3 whole weeks in the hardest race in the world without some assisted recovery.
Now, what are we going to do about this mess?

Make it legal! Make the sport about the best man/machine/man-who-is-a-machine combination available. Push the costs up even more so that the poor teams are even less able to compete...
I feel the same way about baseball. If they want to use steroids, let 'em! Eventually it'll be 600 feet to the fences and the ball will be the size of a golf ball and the bats will be a broomstick, but damn it, it'll be competitive!
i have no idea why blood-doping is not legal at least. who cares! you use your body to improve your body. i think all "natural " forms of self improvement should be allowed. anyway, if they want some steroids they can come eat some american chickens or get a blood transfusion from an angus. by-the-way, i plan to fully dope during this weight-loss contest, so watch out!

I think we should settle it by having Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds battle to the death with fungo bats.
"You cannot be in good form for 3 whole weeks in the hardest race in the world without some assisted recovery."
What'd the animal dope with in the early 70s?
Sorry... The Cannibal
Well, the Cannibal tested positive for illegal substances twice in his career...
Oh come on, what was he taking in the 60s and 70s? Tang?
