Some of my cycling friends here on the board will disagree with me on this, and I certainly respect their opinions, but this sport got to a point where anyone who was serious about winning HAD to cheat in order to compete with the other cheaters. I'm not condoning it, just saying that according to ...the cheaters... the great but clean athletes weren't capable of making the leader board. And if you hear a 'clean' athlete say that this isn't true, there's a good chance that he's actually just another cheater who hasn't been caught yet. Sad state of affairs.
Who let the sport get to that point? Is it still there? Catching Lance (and others) doesn't mean the sport is now squeaky clean.
