I read that too. Making room for Rugby, Softball or Karate. But it is not until 2016!! Too long....anything can happen between now and then.
Why is it the cycling is so much under scrutiny?!?!!? There is a lot of drug use in other sports too.
I say let them use all the want, see how long they last before killing themselves.
trust me, i've had to, at least three times over the past week or so, delete some type of 'is mike vick out of his freakin' mind?' type tyrade. they are under no more or less scrutiny...maybe they are all just idiots? i have no idea, but when you KNOW for a 100% fact that you will be tested and if you get caught you WILL lose your job/credibility/livelyhood...i dunno.
look at baseball with bonds, maquire, sosa, canseco and the others. it's a joke. hell, i heard from very reliable source that rodger clemens little 1/2 season deal was due to a positive test for 'roids that the league didn't want leaked.
and football? please. you tell me how since the league started that the average NFL player has got so damn big. from the palm beach post:
"From 1920 to 1984, there were never more than eight players in any season who weighed 300 pounds or more. This year, there were 570 players who weighed 300 or more listed on 2006 NFL training camp rosters, nearly 20 percent of all players."
eventually we'll be debating whether a guy with genetically alters psoas muscle of a rabbitd should be allowed in the tour (if it even exists) or the QB with the bionic eye should be allowed to play since he has crosshairs installed.
personally, i don't care and neither does the media (although they say they do). as long as it pulls ratings and earns cash...
